e30m3 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 As the title reads... Looks like NOS movements can be had for $185ish, and questionable “Swiss Military” used ones on eBay are $55ish. Either one will need a service, so get the cheaper one? Or is there a better place? Is there one that WON’T need a service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 I have used two of the "Swiss Military" 2846's. Had them both serviced and have had no issues. There was an eBay seller in the Philippines that always had several of them listed. Think I paid less than $50 each including shipping to the US.

e30m3 Posted October 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Cool, I think I’ll go for it. What did a service cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought 4 of them from him, and all were genuine ETA, and all needed just a cleaning service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought the other gold one. The black diver face one appears to have a brassier balance wheel. But what do I know. 9 hours ago, highoeyazmuhudee said: service will run $100-$200.

Couldn't tell you the eBay seller as it's been so long since I bought them. I used Misiekped for my 5514 build. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
