21 jewel Asian Auto in PO

[Estaban]

Does anyone want to comment on the reliability of this movement? I'm debating between the 42mm with ETA and the 45mm with Asian (since the ETA isn't available yet)

Thanks

The movement is Miyota 82x5 based. Ultra reliable but also ultra disposable as spares are not readily found, but then I know a watchmaker who regards ETA 2824/2836 as disposable as he can obtain entire replacements for £17....

Be aware though that there are at least 4 known cases of this particular watch model being delivered in less-than-perfect condition, after having been assembled in a damp atmosphere.

I have one, and after a little fettling (cleaned out!) I am happy with it. It may be on the market soon though, to make way for other purchases....
