New asian 6497 vs. "swiss" 6497


vaccum

Recommended Posts

Once again I decided to post this pictorial because of the lots of emails I receive everyday asking wich is the best movement....here we go...............

I took a Davidsen real "swiss" H series and a New asian swanneck H series

Dial side "swiss" vs. New asian

Look at the decoration and the shock protection system used.

The swiss has the Novodiac system (cheaper version) :mad:

The asian has the more expensive Incabloc. Both made by the same company. :D

Bridges side "swiss" vs. New asian

The only correct swan neck is the Asian one!

Here is the real thing from the OP website:

Sad to notice that DSN's 6497 is the 'Swiss' type. I formerly thought it was almost perfect.

Thanks, Vaccum! Excellent comparison & review!

You made me realize subtle differences that I was not aware of before reading this thread of yours.
