2005SUBMARINER Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 im sure TWG would replace the watch , he's not into falls advertiseing . i would e-mailem good luck ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovepanerai Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I wonder why you would care about the movement? If you take the back of anybody who has seen a real Rolex movement would see the difference right away - no matter if you have the one on Trusty's or King's pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take the back of anybody who has seen a real Rolex movement would see the difference right away - no matter if you have the one on Trusty's or King's pictures for the advertised movement shown in TWG foto is about $100 differance vs the golden ETA .

Heywood Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 At first glance, without looking carefully, the first movement looks more realistic to me. Unfortunately they both are obviously fake upon closer inspection , but pretty darn nice looking for a rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 well in that case...what SUBMARINER2005 says He has a different nickel movement to the one he was expecting. He doesn't have a brassy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 I think beware of the decorated Nickel movement. They have flaws!! I bought a Sub with this movement,after a few weeks its broken... Rg Tribal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got this one in my Yachtmaster Was expecting this... ?? Personally I like the one you got better--aesthetically speaking. They're both the same base movement, and the difference is largely aesthetic. The reason I like the one you have better is that the rotor looks more like the gen, than the one you were expecting. <see attached pic> Either way, the back is closed. I don't think it's much more likely to fail than any other ETA, and if it does you can fix it inexpensively (relatively speaking). If the red paint on the wheel came off as a flake and got caught in the gears, it could stop. But how likely is that to happen? Easy fix if it does. make sure you rub silicone grease on the gasket and that it seats properly when you screw the caseback on. So who did you purchase it from? King or TWG?

hu12 Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Got it from TWG.. borrowed the camera for the external, never shot the inside. when I cracked the case it was the exact movement as the king pic (borrowed it for comparison). I would have used my camera phone but it shoots very fuzzy close-ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
