TK471 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I know as soon as I post this I'm going to find what I'm looking for. But here goes. I've heard rumors of a new Asian 6497 with a high beat and better finishing. Has anyone seen this? Any pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 i have heard from a new swiss 6497 with asian decoration... like from Davidsen new watches... maybe it is the same movement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK471 Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 According to Flavor Flav, this one is an H-series? I agree that the new E-series from DSN is the best looking yet, but Chris was awfully impressed by the new H. Maybe he'll see this and post some pictures.

t Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 i know that this new movement (like Davidsen) is available as E-serie AND H-Serie movement... Angus can get them also and i have order 2 of them for sample... this movement cost nearly double price from other swan neck movements... so i think that the quaility will be MUCH better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavor flav Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 yes tk471, these are really good quality from what i have seen and in my opinion as good as the swiss but i think better for reps as they use the correct rate as the 6497-2 in the gens. i still do not think the swannecks were ever "swiss" anyways.... asian E-G series fast beat swanneck (left is my 183g gen) asian H-J series fast beat swanneck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 i have heard from our dealers this movement should be 80% swiss and 20% asian. But i think it is 20% swiss (main plate and balance???) and 80% asian (bridges, decoration, blue screws, swan neck) or maybe 100% like ALLLLLLLLL other swan neck movements, but better finish next week when i get tthis movements will know more...

TK471 Posted August 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I think the E looks better. Though it looks like there's some pretty good CDG markings on the H, the "OFFICINE PANERAI" is still way off. Chris, can you confirm that the watch next to your gen 183 is the new high-beat Asian E?

Chris, can you confirm that the watch next to your gen 183 is the new high-beat Asian E? yes i can confirm... i ordered this movement as asian swanneck. you can tell its a fast beat by the size of thge gear teeth on the ceneter gear... smaller and more teeth on the gears equals hi rate. the gen has the same size teeth as the asian. the swiss if it really is swiss is not as accurate and the finish is the same.

The swiss if they really are swiss...lol... Are any rep watches Swiss? While we would like to think that we are getting swiss movements and parts are we? At best I would say 15% tops.
