ActionZzZ Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 whether to buy the asian movement (Asian ETA 2824)? price 288$ how reasonable pay 150-170$ more for swiss?asian have datewheel same as on swiss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indywatchguy Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) I just ordered the same watch with asian movement. Usually when Swiss ETA option is available I will take it but lately with the scarcity of Gen ETA movements it seems the rep factories are piecing together old swiss movements to give us the ETA. Nowadays I'm doing strictly Asian because you are more likely to get a new movement. If you don't mind possibly getting a 80's or 90's piece together movement then go for the Gen Swiss ETA. Yes the date wheel should be same. Edited December 8, 2013 by indywatchguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyr Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I agree with Indywatchguy, general consensus on the forums is to go with the Asian movement for all the reasons above. Have also just ordered the LMLE with Asian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper85 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Noob - both Asian and Swiss are good, and Swiss movements are new BP - both have some flaws, they use subpar movements You can look at gen watches to get an answer to your question. Sea-Gull ST2130 is no worse than ETA 2824-2, both of my Sea-Gull watches are extremely accurate. So if Noob uses ST2130, you won't have any problems. But I don't know for sure, they have some perlage on movement holder, but hard to say until someone opens up the LMLE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indywatchguy Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Good info Grim didn't know that about noob and bp. If I would have known I would have got the Swiss movement. Received my LMPO and it's awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davesteel Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Since I have some wise fellows here on the LMLE -- and indy owns it - what is the thickness on this watch? Toro lists at 42 x 16 - which would indicate the case was designed for the 8500 and is INCORRECT Puretime lists at 42 x 14 which would be the correct size for the 42mm LMPO steel limited edition Thx from a Noob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davesteel Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Toro answered my question - says the size is 42 x 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
