How much extra did you pay for Swiss eta? And how much is the box?

Not a bad price with a Swiss eta. May I ask where did you order it?

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.

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?

 

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.

Sorry man, that's a chinese clone.... 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 :(

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.

 

Oh really. Probably best to leave as is. Appreciate that Thankyou very much. 😁

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.

Thankyou, Iv just got into the reps within the last 2 months. 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.

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!

 

Thankyou and appreciate that. It’s a great site and lots to learn. Made my first buy on the site yesterday of a sub hulk so can’t wait to get that. 

😁
