I can confirm they are en-route mate. nice watch, the spitfires never really bit with me but still nice watch REad the care and feeding post for mech watches and only reset the chrono with the seconds hand close to 12 and you will have no problems ( if you time somemthing with the chrono and say it takes 25 seconds, then restart the chrono and let it run until it is at 55 ish seconds, that way you wont have the seconds hand spinning on its tube.)

No worrys there as i need to sell a couple off to make up for something i just bought, i will show it when i get it but just to say i got it for about 60% retail price because it was second hand by 16 days So who is interested in my EX2

Guys thanks very much Since i wrote the post i have a10 min snooze and then all those comments, thanks This is the first time i have spent more than a couple of hours in hospital so it is all new to me. and best of all they just brought me some food, it was just some german bread and sliced meat to make a sandwich but i tell you it was the best sandwich i have ever eaten, ok so i had not eaten since yesterday and i like my food but it did taste good. Annoying thing they moved me to a new ward so the blond nurse is no longer TJ film props! have you seen sherlock holms yet the new one??????

Yep that's right i log on to RWG, and i have to say i feel like shite, not had a drink all day nor food and don't even mention a smoke!!!!!!!!!!!!! wristy I could not get my watch in this weccam shot of my knee shame realy Right what i want now, is a jug of water and then a nice coffee and some cake, then a cheese burger and then, wheres that blond nurse?

@ Drulee they are both 56 hrs both low and hi beat,

Thanks freddy, just a knee op and it is not like i don't have a spare in case one breaks The pic is an old one that you commented on before, just lucky snap. Never be in your league on that subject

seconds at 6

Gone manual wind while i am on hospital as i will be quite immobile for a while

and here is the ETA tech docs for the 6497-2

I think you have your movements mixed up I know this is the swiss 18000 version but the asian 21600 will give 56hrs as well ETA 6498-1 (Unitas 6498-1) Features stem wind and set sub second Data 16.5''', Dm= 36.6mm, H= 4.5mm 17 jewels f = 18000 A/h power reserve 56h Now if the question had been 2824 ETA 2824-2 Features automatic sweep second date: quickset option: hack feature Data 11.5''', Dm= 25.6mm, H= 4.6mm (H= 4.7mm with ball bearing) 17/21/25 jewels f = 28800 A/h power reserve 40h

Wokky rehaut what what jumped out on me, that and the fact it was just too clean and the bezel too sharpe

56 hours if fully wound

I am going for franken.

And they will have the correct beat out of the box also

It is a gen, speedy reduced auto, in need of some TLC by the look of it. If the price was right and i was after one i would have no dramas buying it,

And i was waiting for something to go wrong

Glad that RWG could help and make you happy

reversing wheels, stamping, spring barrel, shock protection, lack of dowels coming up through the bridges. I would say it is an older ETA not a brand new one
