Shasta Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) I don't really do movement reviews per se. So I'll just give overall impression. This 1 has the correct sized balance at 21K BPH. The overall finish on the bridges is a bit better than the swiss version. The blue font is engraved on this version - not stick on. No ETA marks under the balance. Balance has 2 screws instead of the problematic [censored] configuration. But you can notice how ill-fitting the adjacent pins are. I don't know if it has the proper sized cannon pinon & hour wheel yet. A big plus if it does. Don't pay 'SWISS' prices Edited September 18, 2006 by Shasta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leitztozeiss Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I'm no expert, but to me this does not look like the movement with the controversial, not-necessarily-problematic [censored] configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cucumber_Jones Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 problematic [censored] configuration. Sorry - that is WAY to funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leitztozeiss Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Sorry, I just re-read. That is what you said. I stand corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astig Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 someone please enlighten me... this version is an OK one right? So there should be no problems with it, right? So it is Asian not swiss.. so should we expect to pay less than what most dealers are charging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Wow you just took nit picking to a new level with that remark ........................... Um, not really. It's the quickest, most visible way to tell between this movement and the dodgy so-called ETA one. One is a triangle and the other is a stretched diamond. It's much more visible than the other tells as the dealers will always show you a close-up of the Swan's Neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slay Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 good, no [censored] problems! but the engraving still looks very very cheapo&poor. until they fix that, I wont buy an H series movement. regulator arm is alsow wrong. they are really hellastupid. why cant they JUST get it right? they always make such foolish and dumb mistakes. its not too hard to make a thiner, correct, engraving. its not too hard to make a sword shaped regulator.

Iztok Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 good, no [censored] problems! Stop it, you are killing me!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finepics Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Actually I should point out that there is nothing wrong with it's [censored] - so to speak - and there never was. This has a PALLET BRIDGE (which is the 2 screws plate under the balance wheel) rather then the newer PALLET [censored] - neither of these are faulty just a desigh difference. The fault is with the positioning of the balance spring relative to the BALANCE [censored] and since this has an asian balance wheel then it could have the same problem as the newer G series movt. So many cocks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linder Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 You think with all the [censored] talk, there would be more girls around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 so is there a needle [censored] problem on this one, or no? can someone clarify the [censored] problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
