ExtraExtra Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Anyone know why the asian movement version is a bit more expensive than the ETA? Marking and engraving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 The 2836 is an ETA.. you need to google that if you are not informed of the movement.. the Rolex Asian Clone is a replicated movement, my Rolex clones are keeping very good time.. and feel good through the crown..we'll see over time how they work.. for me it's about the movement being problematic or not... the rep Rolex movement will not "fool" someone with knowledge.. my opinion for others buying.. buy the eta..

drobbins Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 This has been a most extraordinary review and thread. Thank you. I'm sure there will be much more to add as other weigh in on the movement. I'm very interested in hearing what the Great Zigmeister has to say once he has taken apart and evaluated the A3135. It may also be that 316F SS will set a new standard for reps. Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you drobbins.. sounds like a name form the "Hobbit" The movement does feel good through the crown and when kick starting the Power reserve .. but weather that means anything in the grand scheme. I dunno.. with the benefit of the doubt.. the makers are claiming the new steel to be 316F .. I think myself, that it has more chromium in the mix than 316F or L .. having said that,.... I really don't care what it's called or what it really is..aslong as mky wrist doesn't start turning green the look is fantastic.. and that has been the Achilles Heel of the old rep.. the "look" of the steel, in comparison with the gen.. the rep was always darker and duller.. so for what it is now.. I likes it AC/Lani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 how long does it take to receive a watch from joshua??? mine has been processing since weds the 9th?? im just so excited i don't have patience to wait Believe me when I say Josh is fast. It's nearing peak mail period outside of China so expect another couple of days. Depending on where it's coming to...in North America 7-9 days is a good rate. You should have received a tracking number for this. If not...email him and make sure the order went through. Depending on slow downs...even 2 weeks is still considered quick.

lanikai Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Some parcels sent out express have been taking over a week to be delivered.. due to Weather conditions and the Holiday season... this time of the year is crazy.. some members have reported receiving their parcels 7 days after it left China.. I still haven't gotten a parcel that left last week for Hawaii.. expect it to get slower the closer we get to the 17th... the deadline for Christmas mailing.

gioarmani Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I have two EMS #'s for products that were sent out on the 4th & 5th. Tracking #'s still say they haven't even made it to the US yet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I have only one parcel and I think it will take twice as long this time of year... I don't bother even checking tracking.. saves a lot of stress and wondering And remember, for us in Conus,.. Post Office units have cut back man power and actual units have closed temporarily until the economy improves.. all the variables, will slow down our parcels.. Retailers are making rush order from all over China... so theirs will be priority.. patience.. the parcels in the system NOW will make it before Christmas.. Patience.. is all we can practice.

panerai153 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I agree with Lani, Don't worry about tracking, My DSSD showed "left Peoples Republic of China" for about 10 days and suddenly it said "Delivered to local post office" Possibly it was not scanned at POE in New York,or anywhere else down the line until it reached the main PO in Jackson MS. The Post office website says that upgrade information every night, but this time of year I believe it may be every week! Too few good employees, plenty of "Clock riders" and impossible to get rid off the non-productive due to Federal Civil Service Regulatiions. Staff cuts primarily by attrition and reassignment, closed Post offices, all make for mail slowdowns. Never fear, it will get here........ eventually!

mactower Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Yep, I ordered my DSSD on the 29th, right after reading this awesome review.

Andrew may be able to source the correct bezel insert for you, but be aware that they did not use the correct "10" insert because too may of them have the pearl off centered.
