What's to say about accuracy of those gen movements?

[Smab]

I got the Omega Planet Ocean Ti 45.5mm 10th of July. So, because of some issues about the stem, It is a little difficult to adjust the time of this item.

That is the reason why I have kept it running ever since, had it on my wrist at least every other day, to maintain the power reserve.

It has now been running continously for 43 days. And I just checked the time server. It is 22 seconds too fast!!...

That is 22 seconds off in 43 days! An averidge error of only about 0.5 seconds too fast a day! This is by far the most accurate watch I've got. Even more accurate than my GEN SOSF 2010 model, which I purchased in 2012. The Breitling SOSF is officially certified chronometer by the COSC in Switzerland. Still, it is usually about 10-20 seconds off in a week.

 

And this is a freaking rep?? I noticed allready some time ago, it was running just a little too fast, it was actually near a minute to fast a couple of weeks ago, but it has slowed a little again.

It can be due to I wore it more radomly a couple of days, and the PR was getting low, I reckon.

 

But, the averidge accuracy of the movement is so satisfying I never doubt it is within 30-60 seconds (fast) from the official time servers for 1 1/2 month now.

 

I must say, this is not the one with the Asian "POS" movement, the socalled hibeat 2813, this one has a "rebuild" (according to the TD) Swiss ETA. It is also stamped with the correct ETA markings, stating it is a 2836-2 ETA. It has the more advanced shock absorber (different from the Novodiac or Etachoc). The metal ring around this Incablock system is made of two half rings. The Novodiac/Etachoc is one solid ring around the pivot jewel and the shock spring.

 

The swiss ETA's seen on reps, have both of these systems installed, this Incablock system is supposed to be a little better. Well. some say the swiss on reps, are not swiss at all, but Asian clones.

 

I don't know, it looks gen ETA to me, but I am not an expert. So let me share this pic. Is it a true ETA? If it is an Asian clone, they sure did a heck of a job making this my most accurate watch (and by far most accurate rep when it comes to time keeping).
