aeromatic Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Does anyone have any experience with these asian (rolex cal)clone eta(double bridge) movements or the eta customised single bridge movements mabe as a alternative to transplant in our franken reps? we could buy these from trustywatchguy as a complete watch and change this movement with the movement out of our vintage reps!

slickdick Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Don't be fooled by a badly pimped movement. Take the eta (clone) if you want to play it safe. Especially if its a solid case back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 The Rolex "style" Asian clones are complete rubbish, multiple failures posted across the forums, they fall apart. Not only that, the dealers charge genuine Swiss ETA prices for them too! They must make serious $$$ from selling them.... Buy a true Swiss ETA movement, or the much cheaper and more reliable "unmodified" Asian clone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My clones are working fantastic btw. Edited January 28, 2010 by cht Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
