Dial up

Dial down

 

 

dial vertical is also +/-0 in one position and -4 max 180 degrees 

 

So 3 of the 4 positions on my timer are running +/- 0 and the worst is -3 to -4.

 

Pretty amazing.

 

$290 + $15 shipping on eBay if anyone wants one:

I just bought another since this one is running so well.

Very good choice!

Most of what we see are Standard and Elaborated grades. 

Top grade = better running rates, but cost more.  Basically the same as their chronometer movement.

I have a top also in one of my automatics from Germany and they're fantastic. It's a shame ETA isn't going to sell them outside of their group anymore.

Yeah, that is why I posted the ebay link so people could get them while the can.  Good find.  Impressive performance.

Arguably one of the best movements ever made for top grade. Sellita has their chronometer grade movements luckily to give the market a similar movement for us folks that don't have 10-100k to spend on a time piece.
