Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hi, its from a private contact who deals in gen watches but promised he would get me one. He said I paid what he paid. I tried to buy from toro,s site but it wouldn’t accept my card.
Guest keeper Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 Wear it in good health. What's the box for? Sandwiches?

508-Fanatic Posted February 28, 2019 Report Posted February 28, 2019 That's pretty cool - box is always a nice plus. Did they send you pictures to verify that it's a Swiss ETA and not a clone?

Guest Localacct Posted March 1, 2019 Report Posted March 1, 2019 Hi, here is a pic of movement. Real nice feel to watch also. That is a ETA clone. Not a swiss eta. Notice the lack of markings on the rotor and under the balance.

No ETA stampings and the inner caseback engravings aren't that great.... I don't know what stock$ you put in the fancy box but you over-paid a good bit my man. Sorry

Mark86 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Report Posted March 2, 2019 Anybody have a clone 3135 movement for sale 😬. May aswell try fit that then a clone eta. Thanks.
Sogeha Posted March 2, 2019 Report Posted March 2, 2019 They are not a direct or easy swap. You will run into problems with the stem height. Also the hands won’t swap over and the dial won’t fit unless you remove the dial feet.

Guest keeper Posted March 3, 2019 Report Posted March 3, 2019 There are no Swiss ETA movements available to rep makers. Surely by now the message has filtered down. Broken movements, spare parts....reverse engineering ...in reverse.
508-Fanatic Posted March 3, 2019 Report Posted March 3, 2019 It's still a perfectly fine rep, with a nice box. Enjoy it and I admire your attitude about learning. Believe me we've all made some costly mistakes I'm sure - I know I have Welcome to the community! 2

I own a few gens, Rolex Breitling tag etc. Learning each day about reps. I love the sub I purchased and just got another but the hulk. I will I’ll be keeping my eyes open for any modded ones also with upgraded parts. Many thanks. 6 hours ago, 508-Fanatic said: It's still a perfectly fine rep, with a nice box.
