cableguy Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 so i held my noob eta up to my ear and it seems as if my noob eta beats faster then my mbw 16610 i opened up the backs and on the noob it says 25 jewel and on the mbw it says 17 jewel...not sure if these are "accurate" markings or what..... thoughts? which is a better movement? which is more accurate to the original beat rate? etc.....

cableguy Posted September 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 here are some pics to clear things up...... MBW movement marked 2846 Noob ETA movement marked 2836-2 hopefully someone can chime in..... which is more accurate beat rate to be in a modern sub?

alligoat Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 The 2846 is a 21600 bph movt. It would be best in a vintage MBW, and would not be as correct in a 16610 MBW. However with the shortage of eta movements, MBW may be putting whatever they can get their hands on in their watches. And don't forget that most of the 21j asian movts are also 21600 bph. It's still a good movement, just not as well suited for the 16610 replica. Of course, the gen 16610 w/ the 3135 movt beats at 28800, just like the 2836.

Pugwash Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 If I were you, I'd find someone looking for an ETA 2846 in a straight trade. If I were in your neighbourhood, I'd do the swap for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
