droptopman Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Nice watch Mike. especially for the price. As you know I am on the hunt for some vintage looking units with straps. Been some beautiful Frankens lately for sale but keep missing..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rek001 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Where did you buy it from Mike? It's a nice looking piefe. I'm thinking of getting the Tiger Concept Black Bay version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewatchmanpr Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 what is the difference between 2838 and 2836-2 Enviado desde mi LG-E977 mediante Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpz5142 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 what is the difference between 2838 and 2836-2 2838 is a cheaper Asian movement, a clone of a Miyota iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewatchmanpr Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 OK but the beats are 28,800 on both? Enviado desde mi LG-E977 mediante Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpz5142 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 OK but the beats are 28,800 on both? Don't think so, think the 2838 is 21,600. Mike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I think so but sure the movement guys know for sure. Looks it by the sweep, have not taken off yet except to shower and sleep, love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 To confuse the question further here is a thread RWI w/ KBH weighing in about it. http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=100349 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpz5142 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 So I'd be willing to bet that if Mike cracked open that case back we'd see the movement pictured in the post at RWI. For the price there's no way they'd be throwing in a rare ETA 36,000 bph movement from the 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
