Hi,

I've got this one...Crystal is great, datewheel is correct with silver background, flat 3 and open 6 and 9, but you'll definitely have to replace the crown with a genuine one...

Bracelet will need some vintagizing and oiling too...

The pearl is really close to gen, insert looks OK, but the bezel rotates too easily for a supposed 30-something year old watch...

Hi

thanks :-)

And what the movement ETA 2846 ? Is it a real one ? No problem with it ?

[prdubis]

It's a slow beat movement, 21 600 bpm (genuine is 19 900). ETA doesn't produce them, chinese factories have new old stock...it's working great on mine...

Ok thanks

No need to be serviced ?

And the only flaw is the crown for you ?

Is there anything else ?

[alligoat]

Only other flaw is the crown guards- you need to file the inside edges- make them look more like the gens- look at this gen 1680 on the right

Another gen to compare :

Am I wrong to snicker over that?
