Linder Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 To me, I would read that as the 2nd one has been adjusted to be within -4 to 6 seconds a day with maybe the rotor engraved to look similar to a Rolex caliber 3135? LOL, Pug.. There is probably a bit of truth in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonystyle Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 (edited) I doubt that the rep movt would be COSC, never heard of that in a rep before, for $50 extra Ask if you get the COSC papers... But $100 for an ETA Sub is about the lowest Ive seen. Depends on what the watch is like, I couldnt see your pictures or the links.

alligoat Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 I'd agree w/ Linder on this one. I also think that the gold eta's are from the far east and the silver ones are from Switzerland, but that is just my opinion. There's been a lot of previous discussion on the origins of the two different colored eta movements, so it's really hard to discern what the real truth is!

alligoat Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Good point, Sonystyle COSC isn't going to deal w/ a rep. The only thing would be if a watchmaker took the 2836 movt and fine tuned it to meet COSC specs. All that would probably include is putting it on a Vibragraf and turning the screw to adjust it, maybe checking it in two or three positions. For $50 that's about all that's going to happen!

linkukbora Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Is it COSC ("Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres") or CORC ("Contrôle Officiel replica des Chronomètres") ? My bet is the CORC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the rep factory is like IWC and have their own private version of COSC To the OP, if the case, dial, bracelet, etc on both watches are the same I would save $50 and get the cheaper movt, thats just me - because its still an ETA. But ask the dealer the specific differences and what has been done to the movt, or if there are any comments on accuracy, etc...otherwise between one being gold and engraved one being silver that alone is not really a difference to me other than visual...

Category 5 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 ETA offers different versions of their movements. THey offer a basic version (as we are used to seeing), a decorated movement, and a COSC version. I think you can purchase an already COSC certified movement from ETA. I think is what companies like TAG Heuer do for their chronometer watches. ...although, I doubt these reps for $150 dollars have COSC certification.

rek001 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Sounds like a bunch of hype, I'd be more interested in the external aspects of the watches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
