cableguy Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Im looking at a PAM111H from Angus and he says they only have the Asian version in stock. Its supposedly a copy of the swiss movement? does this mean it takes swiss replacement parts if it needs to be serviced? or am i gonna be out of luck if it breaks...... its the Asian swan neck version. thanks in advance. i wanna make the order soon!.

RWG Technical Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 It doesn't accept ETA parts... RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cableguy Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hey Rob does this mean I should stay far away from it and find a swiss version? Or are the asian versions reasonably reliable? Thanks for your input =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I would not say the Asian one is not reliable, it's just not compatible with the Swiss parts. But most of the models supplied now seem to be quazi ETA quazi Asian anyway, so I am not sure where the line is anymore. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotASolder Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) I recently saw a pictorial comparing the swan necked / dagger regulated Swiss vs. Asian. The main TELL was that the Asian version had an Incabloc shock protection system whle the Swiss used a different method (I forget the name, it's a tri-corner arrangement-Novadiac??). Since this is something that can be seen from most movement photos, Is this THE 'tell'? Edited November 7, 2007 by NotASolder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
