hackR Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I recently purchased an older "vintage" daytona with running "seconds at 9"...30 minute counter at 3...hour counter at 6... The previous owner thought the movement was "swiss ETA" as he bought the rep a long time ago ('before all the clone craziness') and he usually bought "swiss eta" movements... The watch was sent to where I work, so I can't take any movements pix -- but it's definitely a nice tricompax 7750 movement - per some googling and searching in this forum (new search funtion is making this tough on rwg)...the rotor is undecorated and has a nicely defined brushed finish...there's no "7750" or "ETA" stamped near the balance wheel... So my question is: are all swiss eta 7750 movements stamped "7750" and "ETA"?...if not, how can one tell asian versus swiss?...i apologize if this has been answered before, but the search function of this new site doesn't make it easy to find this answer... thanks...R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Yes, most definetly they are all stamped next to the balance wheel, "ETA" and "7750" and to the left of this on the bridge is "17 Jewels etc". It's not an ETA if it isn't stamped. Another giveaway is the regulator arm, the ETA is a stud, the Asian has riveted regulator pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
