  1. Toadtorrent Dluddy Honkytonkman Ubi Redwatch? Aromatic Mctower DVN Dr Pubis McRea Siesta181 Maximilian Nacortheblue HPY540 x2 ref date wheels i am assuming yes as it is standard on a new movement, day wheels no as this is not a day/date movement Photos as soon as i get them in my hands.
  2. what is with the purple velvet jacket though
  3. These are on order once i have them in my hands i will let you all know
  4. I thought minimum force means starting with 22 and working your way up if they don't stop moving
  5. And generally they are pretty good, i defiantly don't get turned off when i hear seagull Have you seen what their minuet repeaters sell for
  6. ETA Withdrawal of Movement blanks reposted from watch lounge email Posted: 10 Feb 2010 03:43 AM PST Nicholas Hayek of the Swatch Group In accordance with its strategic plans, ETA will withdraw the supply of blanks at the end of 2010. As the company currently has the monopoly on this market, it is reasonable to expect that many other players will be keen to jump into the gap left empty by ETA. But who really can? To find out, we spoke to the people in the know, the movement makers themselves. The Eight Year Withdrawal Mr Hayek, the president of the Swatch Group, has never made a secret of his plans for ETA: ideally, in the long run, the company will not supply any component of its own creation to any third party, regardless of whatever or whomever it is. Understandably, the Swatch Group wants to guarantee that only the brands within the Group benefit from the exclusive use of its components, which seems reasonable from a business point of view. Therefore, back in 2002, Swatch made the first move to put this plan into action, starting with blanks. But the Swiss Competition Commmission (ComCo) hadn
  7. @ Gliptopolis would you like to add your name to the list?
  8. The way to get them cheaper is to buy in bulk, ie 100s at a time direct from ETA but i dont have that sort of cash right now
  9. 2geek are offering 2892-2s not GMT movements, but it is a buyers market Kbiz buy from where ever you want.
  10. I wont take any money until, i have them in my hands then i will know what import tax i have had to pay, and i know that i can supply. Shipping cost world wide with insurance to
  11. the two parts of the movement are as far removed as they can be, with the auto winding gears, mainspring and going train separating them, very strange how one affects the other Unless when you rotor spins it is catching on one or another gear in the going train there for stopping the movement as it touches
  12. I am going to go ahead and get these, but i will be getting fewer than originally thought as i cant afford to have 10K in movements sat around the house. I will try to still keep with in my original price quote. Once i have them in my hands i will PM those that have shown an interest here, if there are any left then i will put them up to the market. Toadtorrent Dluddy Honkytonkman Ubi Redwatch? Aromatic Mctower DVN Dr Pubis McRea Siesta181 Maximilian Nacortheblue Any more add your name to the list and we will see how many i can afford to get. Just a pointer these are
  13. Looks very interesting, i have been looking for the standard hand wind version with a power reserve tha ti have seen in a watch but cant find them for sale any where
  14. Well that is about 10 of the 50 i would need to order, but the response is looking good, I will see how it looks in a couple of days and see if Commander finance will go with the idea.
  15. I dont think it would resolve the hand stack issue but it would resolve an reliability issues, to up side if you have an incorrect hand stack version your hands will fit on the new movement. I think this movement would be correct in a lot of pams?????
  16. And we complain at the small faults of the reps that cost 10% of the gens, some times we don't know how lucky we are.
  17. if the case or watch that you planned to put this in would accept 2893s then I would be able to do the movement swaps if that was what people wanted. The main measurement here would be the winding stem height between the movement coming out and the movement going in if both were of eta type meaning that the dial feet are in the right position and the hand sizes are the same.
  18. It could also be the extra part for the balance bridge that has come loose. The way i see it the OP has 3 options 1, get a sticky ball remove the back take a photo, post it and we look what the problem is and advise on how to resolve it. 2, Post it back to china and wait for a new one to arrive that may or may not be better 3, find a watch smith to look at it and preferably remove the extra parts that are not required like the cap on the rotor screw and the extra bit of the bridge.
  19. The feeling of RWG never ceases to amaze me, Ubis generosity is just awesome.
  20. Well the details are brand new in ETA boxes, never been used or fitted, The down side is that i would have a minimum order of 50. By the time i have imported them, paid tax ect i think i can do them for less than
  21. No photos yet and price is unconfirmed but i am hoping for less then
  22. I am sure that any of those name that are in the swatch group do not have a problem with R&D, I am also pretty sure that breitling don't make there own balance springs,
  23. I know, I need to call again and get some prices i think As to the B&R that could be a franken out of the rep box!
  24. Some info that may be usefull Sw500 (eta 7750) centre seconds 0.25 min hand 1.20 hour hand 2.00 subdials 0.18 same as the 7750 i would say
