What reps have the "Asian 2824-2 copy

[Nebakanezzar]

Hey all,

My understanding is there are different movements the dealers label as "Asian 2824", is this correct? If so, does anyone knows for sure which reps have the "Asian 2824-2 copy" movement that The Zigmeister reviewed HERE

....specificaly i am interested in the UPO lite and SFSO lite.

thanx

River sells a Noobmariner with this movement.

The UPO lite and asian steelfish do not i repeat DO NOT have an asian 2824 copy, the movement in these watches has nothing remotely to do with 2824 or eta no matter what they advertise it as. The only watch i have seen that had a 2824 copy was a sub from river.

I own both the UPO lite, and the asian SOSF.

The UPO has a 28,800bph movement (the DG 4813), and SOSF has a 21,600bph movement in it. I don't know what it is, as i don't want to take the back off; but it's definitely a difference beat rate.

Mt SOSF is about 8 weeks old if it makes a difference.

Why would watch makers 'not' put this movement into their newer watches?

Is it seriously a matter of the 'rep' movement still being too expensive to maximize profits?

Sounds ridiculous, but that's the theory I'm operating under. Watches like the Steelfish, etc... should have the best 'clone' movement, IMO. It makes you wonder what we're paying for.

Don't the B&R's have this movement too?
