Asian 21J information

[blade007]

Hiya,

I just bought the Chopard GTXL 21J version and was wondering if can anyone point me to a tech sheet/information regarding 21j movement in general. Is it a good movement that I can wear around without worrying too much???

PS: the Ruter on Chopard GTXL is so noisy..

For the noisy rotor put some grease on the bearings, quiet as a mouse now!

From what I've read (and feel free to correct me), the simple design of the 21J Asian movement means that they are fairly reliable are fewer parts that could fail than on something like the 7750 clone

I wish there was a parts breakdown for them. Took me a couple of hours to work out how the date change worked since all the pieces fell out on me. Eventually I got it, but the spring positions were somewhat puzzling without a single picture of what it was supposed to look like....

hmmm, I guess I will get it serviced it some point to avoid any major damage and pray for the best..

As a rule, I think reps are to be enjoyed to the max, so I will not worry too much about it, especially a rep that cost me less than $80.. hehe

I wouldn't bother with repairing or servicing. When the movement breakes you just buy a new one at Ofrei (US) or Cousins (UK). A DG2813 (one of the most common used 21j movements) costs about GBP 5,- = USD 10,- + shipping.

I think hes talking about the chopard GTXL Asian movement, AFAIK no one knows what kind of movement it is yet
