I got the movement from a watch that a friend just gave me to see if I could fix. I opened it up and sure enough there it was, ETA 2824-2 (I think it's legit). Turns out it had a jammed up keyless works (like my JLC I just fixed) and a bent stem. I wanted to see what it would take to get it in one of my watches after I got it fixed, so I chose the V3 Diver for the experiment. It went pretty smooth. All hands fit nicely. Then only tip I'd have is that the rep datewheel may not line up so if this is the case then just use the datewheel position spring (or whatever it's called) from the asian movement cuz they are slightly different lengths. So now I have a nice movement in my AP, and I have a new stem on the way to stick the A-2824 movement back into his watch to fix it. I think the ETA for me is payment enough... but I'll still get a few beers out of it too I think Different length springs (asian on left, swiss on right): The ETA rotor is also a lot quieter and smoother than the rep: Gratuitous wrist shot:

I like the free economy shipping in the ad...

Time and time again I read on the forums that this watch will make a believer out of you for mesh strap. I finally had the chance to adjust the mesh strap I have for this watch and slapped it on today. I must agree with the concensus that the SOH on mesh is absolutely gorgeous.
