blade007 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 does anyone know if the movement in the above watch (from PT) is a real ETA or a fake one? I just read some info in a similar thread here and its got me rather worried. Anyone have any info? Sorry I do not have pics of the movement as I am still waiting for the watch, I wouldnt really want to open it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 The one in mine from PT is real, but it was bought a while ago! PS check the back is on tight when you get it mine was loose and when i posted the fact a few others said that was also the case with theirs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir-Lancelot Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 take a pic of the movement and post it, it's the only way to tell. Anything else is just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Sorry I do not have pics of the movement as I am still waiting for the watch, I wouldnt really want to open it either. In that case, you'll never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade007 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) would i c0ck up the waterproofing if i open it? Edited July 30, 2008 by blade007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir-Lancelot Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Not at all. Buy yourself some silicone from Cousins or J. Borel. You would be doing yourself a favor to grease your gaskets every 6 - 10 months or so. Cheap insurance. The grease keeps the gaskets from drying out, it's the gasket that waterproofs your watch. Just make sure to put it back on tight, but you don't have to over do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade007 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 but what do i use to open it? someone mentioned the blutac method a while ago. would that work on this watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir-Lancelot Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 A ball of tape or rubber gloves. No scratches on your case back!!! I prefer to use the gloves as there is no sticky residue when your done. The rubber glove and your thumbs get a good grip, easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
