I Had my euromariner watch opened by a couple of different watchmakers and both commented on how nice the ETA movement was.
Both said it was a gen ETA movement and will last a very long time
The dial was lined up nicely ,ROLEXROLEXROLEX (as you can see inthe pic)was lined up with second makers on the dail and date was in the date window centered nicely.
After having some dust removed from dial and getting the movement running smooth, the watch works beautifuly as it should but,the dial it not lined up and the date sits low in the window.
I can post pics tommorw.It's not like wayyy of but it's slightly of now.
I was gonna have a clark crystal with one peice gasket put in and cg's trimmed so is the dial something a modder can get back correctly??

Not sure what to pay for a genuine crown.
Was at a holloween party wearing my euromariner and my buddy says ""hey ill get my watch i paid $60.00 bucks for from china town in nyc and lets see how close they are .
he puts his next to mine and it was like comparing a shoping cart to an F1 car.
Date mag was waaaayyyyy off,almost no mag at all,the cyclops was so far to the right it was almost not on the watch,the whole watch looked bigger.
he was like "wow,you cant tell a difference can you??"
LOL......so glad i found this site and got educated from you fine folks.......
I'm hooked like a meth addict...........BK will be doing some mods for me.
Now i want it so close the the real thing you have to tak ethe back off the watch.
Look a eurotimez euromariner.
When you buy a gen eta from chris he makes sure thats what you get.
I had mine open this week to have an adjustment done (no fault to chris) and it was verifed by the watchmaker as a gen eta
it's been reviwed plenty here and is an amzing watch.
Hes right on the money.
I was lucky found this site and bought a euromariner .
It was handled by 2 used rolex dealers this week. They thought it was gen.....and i haent had it modded ...yet.
I luckily found this site while looking for a good sub rep.
I thought i'd spend 1-2 hundred bucks on a decent one.
Nope,after reading all the great info here i bought a euromariner with engraving. (still not sure about the engraving,but it's growing on me)
now,i'm ready to have my cg's done,insert,crystal,pearl,super lume......lol.
I'm hooked.
Thanks.
Turns out it wa something simple and he adjusted it.
good news is he is local and has no problem working on reps.
he verified it as a gen eta and said they were very good movements.
found local cert. watchmaker.
it was jerky beacuse something was to tight. (wheel spring??)
no damage and now it's smooooooooth after him adjusting it.
It has a gen ETA in it from chris.
It WAS smooth,now it looks like [censored] in some spots. It looks like a fake now becuase of the funky ticking in some spots.
the hand looks like it actualy jumps or something.
