dadog13 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I doubt that is swiss eta 2892...more likely a rep with the famous asian copy movement, like other dealers have...just King didn't upgrade the info on her site because of not being so popular dealer as josh and trusty on the forums and selling more to the other part of the world and still manages to fool the buyers...just my way of thinking...but hey, i might be wrong!

ajoesmith Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 But they are new items on kings website and posted as SWISS 2892 & ASIAN 2892. Only in PVD and TT PVD with rubber strap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in PVD and TT PVD with rubber strap! then i might be wrong with my previous statement...If she says it swiss 2892, then it is!...interesting, now we could actually spende some more $$$...this is bad info for my bank account...already today made a deal on a 330$ PAM...do I need this too?

dadog13 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 usually king has got a pic of the mvt of the watch...but not this time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajoesmith Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Yeah i thought the same thing too, thats why ive emailed just to check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whateveraddy Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Are they ever going to come out with an accurate BR-03? This 46mm is just way too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajoesmith Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Well King has replied and said yes its eta 2892 movement. Ive asked for a movement picture, we shall see......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I am betting it is Swiss. I still can't rationalize wearing that thing on my wrist though. You have to have a 10" wrist to wear a 46mm square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie333 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I am betting it is Swiss. I still can't rationalize wearing that thing on my wrist though. You have to have a 10" wrist to wear a 46mm square. No you don't! I have a 7 3/4 Inch wrist and it sits on it just fine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I thought The Zigmeister said that a 2892 wouldn't even fit in this watch. Unless they are making a different case version I wouldn't be surprised to find this out as another ruse. I'd love to be wrong though.

marrickvilleboy Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 @ Catergoy 5 I was under the impression that the original had ETA-2892. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 @ Catergoy 5 I was under the impression that the original had ETA-2892. If you mean trhe rep, it was using a very cheap asian movement even though the ads said ETA 2892, and then subsequently Asian ETA 2892. This movement does not even have a passing resemblance to an ETA 2892 or even the Seagull ST-18 (according to The Zigmeister). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 no I meant the genuine watch: I remember reading that it has an ETA-2892. So I dont see why it would not fit the replica case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 no I meant the genuine watch: I remember reading that it has an ETA-2892. So I dont see why it would not fit the replica case. Perhaps the replica watch case is not really 1:1, or perhaps it needs access from the back where the stamped "screws" are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Well, it all makes no difference to me. 46mm is just plain too damn big. Bring on the Br03. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Well, it all makes no difference to me. 46mm is just plain too damn big. Bring on the Br03. I think I'll join you on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypher Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Perhaps the replica watch case is not really 1:1, or perhaps it needs access from the back where the stamped "screws" are. I think the screws on the back are just for the strap lugs. You get a table attachment for the BR-01 and I think you'll need to remove the lugs for that.

Niko Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 This is interesting news, as when it was discovered that the 'first batch' of the 1:1 copies did not have an ETA mechanism, The Zigmeister did in fact advise that the ETA would not actually fit in the case. If a new version was available, I would assume that Josh and Andrew had access to it also. N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
