2824-2 winding vs gen 3135

[Erict719]

Do they have the same winding? Or is 3135 smoother ?

"Do they have the same winding? Or is 3135 smoother?"

 

It will always depend on the condition of the two movements being compared. A freshly (and properly) serviced Eta will wind fairly smoothly as will the rolex 3135. When the Eta gets dry or dirty it will get harder to wind...same for the rolex.

Two things that will make the Eta have more manual winding friction is a dry crown wheel/crown post and dry reversers. The crown wheel runs on a post cast in the plate and it is prone to friction and wear when it gets dry or dirty. Dry/dirty reversers will have a lot more friction than clean/oiled reversers and since they spin when manually wound, they have a lot to do with it.

All in all though, the rolex is probably a little bit smoother.

The Eta is a much better choice if $$ is an object.

You can't compare eta to rolex. It's like comparing a Honda to a Mercedes. There both great movements but the rolex movement is alot better.

There is a different feel when winding an ETA or 3135. Even if they are both clean. Personally I find the ETA smoother as you can hardly feel the click. The 3135 winds much more like a hand wind.

The Honda gets better gas mileage!
