miwan Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Hi guys, Im about to buy a sub and it seems like I have to choose between the ETA movemnet or the Sellita movement. Can anybody share their points of views with me on this one? Wich would be the best buy? pros and cons... Thanks Miwan
ciccio Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Hi,I think ther's any differencs,Sellita made movement for Eta till the patent expired.
offshore Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Careful here guys...rumour has it that there are now both ETA and Sellita clones out there. If you were definetly getting an original, ETA or Sellita,....ETA no contest. However in this more grey world we find ourselves, maybe just a little more research is required here!! O/S
wat44 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 I said sellita because the odds are we talking clone eta versus gen sellita because much less likely to have clone sellita (even though they exist) - is my understanding right?
simonporsche Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 If you go to BK's watch garage and take a look at the thread titled: noob factory phasing out ETA, it has a good discussion on the two movements. I would paste the link but I'm using tapatalk via my iPhone.

I wouldn't be gambling on that assumption, when we are talking about the rep biz! O/S
RWG Technical Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 ETA hands down, as long as it's genuine and not a copy. Sellita is a better choice than a clone copy, but should not be your first choice.
maxman Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 I always thought of Selita as the generic equivalent of a ETA,good movement but not quite as good as the genuine article.
sneed12 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 What makes people think that there are clone Sellitas out there? Just out of curiousity.
offshore Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 What makes people think that there are clone Sellitas out there? Just out of curiousity. There has been some discussion in other places about these. Not confirmed, however I wouldn't be surprised. O/S
Jimster Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 I've talked to the materials houses in the US and none can get Sellita mvts or parts. Now that I think of it I haven't asked OFrei but my locals can't get them.
wat44 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 did you ask OS? I think he can get them a trusted dealer has seen clone sellitas
sneed12 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 did you ask OS? I think he can get them a trusted dealer has seen clone sellitas I don't doubt that it could happen, because all you would have to do is change the stampings. I just don't see why a rep factory would do that. It costs more than nothing, and why would someone build clone Sellitas instead of clone ETAs?
offshore Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 I have an account with Sellita, however the prices are nothing special, so I still go gen ETA when I need a movement. O/S
wat44 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 dont know why, sneed - just that its been done
