knovako2 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hi all! I was wearing my 42mm PO great for about year and a half untill..... a bracelet came undone and the watch slammed on the floor face down. Needles to say the movement is trashed. Took it to my local watch shop and they would replace this ETA movement for the price of almost brand new rep. What do you guys think I should do? Scrap the watch and get a new one? or is there anyway do get a ETA 2824-1? Any reply would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
