Devedander Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 The LV has always been tempting but having a noobmariner it seemed silly to invest more into another sub... but Rivers new entry into the LV category shipps at $99 and has an Asian 25j ETA copy that seems interesting to me... what's the verdict on this from the more savy members?

Pugwash Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 has an Asian 25j ETA copy It's not an ETA, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devedander Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Yeah, but it does look a little closer to a real ETA than the on in the beginamriner... at least to my rookie eye... Sent off an email to see if River can specify beat rate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Yeah, but it does look a little closer to a real ETA than the on in the beginamriner... at least to my rookie eye... True, but that doesn't mean much. It still looks nothing like the Rolex movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I just started a thread ref these copys and the others adverised as eta copy or asian eta here must have stated typing at the same time as youguys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RiverwindMDS Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 True, but that doesn't mean much. It still looks nothing like the Rolex movement. but it has a beat raet of 28800 that is much better of the one of the noobmariner, and that's one of the first thing you watch in a rep...

HauteHippie Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I thought lasik had my eyesight corrected to 20/15 but perhaps I should get it checked. So many people claim to be able to *see* the difference between 6 bps and 8 bps, and yet for the life of me I can not. I can *hear* the difference with the watches up to my ear, but with properly serviced movements I just can not see it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I just can not see it.... Hmm ... I can. It's even easier with a camera and 1 second exposure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
