I agree with Nanuq too! Sinn 556 MOP

hologramet: "...that isn’t 100% correct.. They have KIF shocks, and are Top grade regarding the rest; Glucydur spring etc..Don’t remember if they are/used to be chrono certified. Also.. what’s the point of it being engine turned if the bridge isn’t engraved." You missed two key words. "The main difference looking at a regular ETA 2824-2 and a tudor 2824-2 is the tudor movement is engine turned for decoration." My guess is many regular watch guys can not tell a KIF Parechoc from an Incabloc. Balance wheels are sometimes made out of Glucydur, not hairsprings. Vintage ETA 2824-2 tooters did not use certified movements afaik. If they did they would brag about it. ETA grades: Standard – adjusted in two positions; accuracy of +/-12 sec/day up to +/- 30 sec/day. Elabore – adjusted in three positions; accuracy of +/-7 sec/day up to +/- 20 sec/day. Top – adjusted in five positions; accuracy of +/-4 sec/day up to +/- 15 sec/day. Chronometer – COSC specs. Standard and Elabore Grades: Nickel plated balance wheel; Nivarox hairspring; polyrubies used for pallet jewels. Polyrubies? Top and Chronometer Grades: Glucydur balance wheel; Anachron hairspring; red rubies used for pallet jewels. One way to distinguish between Standard/Elabore and Top/COSC grades of ETA movements is to look at the anti-shock device on the balance wheel: Standard Novodiac / ETACHOC Elabore Novodiac / ETACHOC Top Incabloc Chronometer Incabloc Sogeha: "...I see little point in such attention to visual details of a movement as signed rotor and engine turning of the same pattern on a rep of a watch with a closed back." Me neither, I was just trying to put something up because the forum is so slow. Truth is I never cared much for tooters. Especially newer tooters. Newer tooters = Neutered tooters imho. Ha!
