sonicpath Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 only problem is the Swiss only a low-beat not like Gen(hi-beat)...will tell when the sec hand sweeps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianton Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I had mine changed to a high beat A6497-2 Seagull movement, working great +5 secs/day and very quiet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ussr Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Had mine swapped today! Will compare with low beat when home... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's a big issue - the seconds subdial is so small you hardly see the second hand anyway. No one will notice except you put a gen next to it.

Polynomial Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 What about the CP? Is the out-of-the-box ETA CP long enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gianton Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Is that high beat mov? Correct, high beat A6497-2 from Seagull factory. H3 high cannon pinion set is included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Im curious why people are swapping the movement in a new watch. Is something wrong with the one that comes with this new rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianton Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Because the movement that comes from the H-factory is very noisy. A plus is the smooth swipping of the seconds hand too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Thank you for that info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
