Rikske Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 So this is a picture of the so called "Asian ETA 2813" as presently offered in some Steelfish (Breitling) models. Any idea how good (or bad?) it is as compared to the ETA 2824-2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea how good (or bad?) it is as compared to the ETA 2824-2? Simple answer? We don't know yet. The Zigmeister is getting one very soon and will tell us all about it.

olga Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Unfortunately, this is not the movement that The Zigmeister is getting. I thought I recognized this movement when I saw it, as I had one in a canal street rep from years ago. Here is a picture of your movement as well as the one The Zigmeister is receiving. The one The Zigmeister is getting looks like an ETA 2836. This is a little disturbing that they are starting to call movements clones when they are nothing like the movement that they claim they are cloneing.

Rikske Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 My question concerns the movement as shown in Joshua's picture attached to my opening thread. This movement looks similar to the one in your upper picture. Your lower picture is an ETA 2824-2 or 2836-2 and not subject of this question. Hope this clears the confusion a bit. I understand The Zigmeister will not be able to examine the beast because not receiving the expected specimen. Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Your lower picture is an ETA 2824-2 or 2836-2 and not subject of this question. That's no ETA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikske Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Now I am confused myself again. Help I am lost in movement illusions. Is it me? them I need a docter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Now I am confused myself again. Ok, to help out, nobody has yet posted a photo of a genuine ETA movement. Everything you've seen so far is Asian and not ETA. So this is a picture of the so called "Asian ETA 2813" as presently offered in some Steelfish (Breitling) models. Any idea how good (or bad?) it is as compared to the ETA 2824-2? The movement pictured in your photo doesn't look that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivia Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 That's no ETA. When we say that is no ETA, do we mean the movement was not manufactured by ETA? I assume so, but it looks like the ETA design, i.e., maybe a real clone....i.e., same movement design, but not manufactured by ETA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olga Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 @Rikske, To clear up the confusion regarding my post. The first picture is what I believe to be the movement you pictured in your original post. I do not believe it to be a clone of any eta design whatsoever. The second picture is of the movement that is currently on the way to The Zigmeister. It is an asian made movement that appears to be a copy of the eta 2836. We won't know how close it copies the eta design until The Zigmeister has the time to tear it apart and compare it to the ETA model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK000 Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Can you The Zigmeister or Pug comment/tell if these pics are showing a trully genuine ETA 2824 (...so we can compare it with the hypothetical ETA clones) ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Can you The Zigmeister or Pug comment/tell if these pics are showing a trully genuine ETA 2824 I'm going to go out on a limb and say yes, definitely gen. This is the Noobmariner Asian movement: This is the ETA 2836: This is the ETA 2824: These are all mine, so I can say with some certainty they are what they claim to be.

alligoat Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Can you Ziggy or Pug comment/tell if these pics are showing a trully genuine ETA 2824 (...so we can compare it with the hypothetical ETA clones) ??? The Titoni is an ETA, probably a 2824-2, but Titoni also uses other ETa movements and the first two are definitely 2824's. The 2813 is from the Seagull watch company over in China- you can see the "WO" under the balance wheel. I've got it in a few reps and they're doing OK. You can buy them from Ofrei for under $20. How long they'll last, who can say, but they are too cheap to fix- just put a new one in. Olga's first pic also looks like the 2813, but it doesn't have the Seagull emblem. And her second pic is of the 2836 clone that is being sent to Ziggy, like the one in River's new $99 Sub. The 2813 is not the same as the 2836 clone.

P_Diddy Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 so 2 years later......... what is the verdict on the reliability of the DG2813 movement? I don't know yet, but it's on it's way to me...as soon as I get it - out comes the hammer for detailed analysis...(watchmaker hammer) RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
