trustywatchguy Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Check the movement for the ETA insignia which will be stamped on it. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Wouldn't it be easy for the guys who make the asian movements to also stamp an ETA insignia on it? Thats what I would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Wouldn't it be easy for the guys who make the asian movements to also stamp an ETA insignia on it? Thats what I would do. Just as easy as (easier, in fact than) printing Rolex/Omega etc. etc. on the front, I would have thought.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who make the movements aren't making replicas, they're making movements. To stamp ETA on it, you'd need to disassemble the whole movement, stamp it and put it back together. Why bother?

Don't know about all of them, but I have some ETA movements in some Omegas and Rolexes and some Asian in similar watches. When you wind them, the ETA movement feels more solid, and it takes more turns of the crown to move the hour hand when setting the time, the asian hour hand flies around the dial when you turn the crown while it takes about twice as many turns for the ETA crown. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 But why not stamp in during production? ... because the people who make the movements are not making replicas. The factories are probably too visible to risk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
