WatchEden & descriptions

When you buy at watcheden you only get "Asian 21j" movment as a description. But do any of you know if all of the dealers have moved to 2813 or is someone still stuck on the slowbeat?

I was thinking about buying this one but, when I ask if its slow or fast movment I only get mail back that says "yes this is asian 21j movment" Duh!!!! That really does not help alot

I doubt the seller knows what you are talking about. Most rep sellers are not watch fanatics, so 'slow beat' is meaningless to them. You might get a better answer if you ask whether the movement beats at 18kbph or 28kbph? They might be able to answer that.

OK. Just got a good answer... Its the old slow beat.... Is it possible with a direct 2813 swap in this?? Anyone?

the DG2813 IS "slowbeat" Asian21j. Most Asian 21j will have this movement or a variation of it. It is a 21,600bph movement.. and gets 4-5 ticks/second. The "highbeat" version is the DG4813.. which is the same movement modified to have a smoother sweep. It generally gets 6-8 ticks/second. Not many dealers include this version in their watches, but it is equally cheap and you can find the 4813 for around 35 dollars new and the 2813 for between 20 and 30usd new.

The swap depends on the canon pin. There are 2 versions.. one with a recessesed cannon pin(where the hands attach to the movement) and another version with a protruding canon pin. find out which version your watch has and buy the apropriate movemennt. They are both swapable with pretty much any watch that will be sold as "Asian 21j".
