I've bought a couple of reps from Josh. My first 2. They should be here any day. I'm going to try my luck with the Asian 2836-2. I have a gen Carrera Caliber 5 which is built of an ETA (the 2824-2) and it failed within the first 12 months of owning it. Luckily it was under warranty. Tag covered it and never told me the exact cause. They only mentioned replacing the movement in the paperwork. I say that to say that even Swiss is no guarantee. I've owned multiple Rolex, Tag and Seiko watches and only the Seikos automatics and my wife's air king have proven to be bullet proof. Although I will say that the only trouble I've ever had with a Rolex was a broken mainspring (cheap enough to fix). Where can Asian 2836-2's be purchased outright ? Does anyone have a link ?
