phil.coffin Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 hi guys, new member, however being buying reps for years! bit of advice- looking at getting the skyfall seamaster but been offered two types of movement with $100 difference! ones a japanese j21 miyota ones described as ;asian movement- i believe marvelous replica sells this can you advise what the difference is (if any) thanks phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamcky2k Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 one is a 21 jewel movement found in cheaper reps (although a pretty good movement in its own right and the miyota is also found in some gen watches...) the other is probs an asian 2824-2 movement which is a copy/clone of the swiss eta 2824-2...again very reliable and robust....(unless they mean an asian 2813/4813 but that wouldnt be $100 more than a miyota...) the 21j movement beats at a slower rate than the clone eta so the second hand will sweep abit rougher on the 21j. but why on earth would you want the skyfall version?! those cheaper reps aint really accurate at all of this watch...why not consider the 42mm ceramic planet ocean which has just been released? yes its more expensive but it is very accurate, has a swiss made 2824-2 movement AND was actually worn in skyfall...

bamcky2k Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 check out threads in the omega section on here, theres some recent ones of the very watch i mentioned...the 007 special editions in rep form have never been good, some say the gens aint either! check out trusty time or perfect clones in the dealer section on here, they both have the 42mm ceramic planet ocean, black dial and silver numbers-this is what bond wore at the beginning of skyfall. its very cool watch and very very good rep! good luck and happy hunting!
