Bosshaug Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I have a few pams. One is a RXW mm20 and one is a 111. I have a new ETA 6497 (Swiss) movt. which i would like to replace with the Asian Unitas in the 111. I want the Swiss ETA 6497 in it instead. Can someone tell me if this movt. will slip right in the case without problems?Is it a difficult operation? Can i use the same crown from the asian movt. with the new eta? Thanks Lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 If you've ever worked on a watches before a swap of an Asian 6497 clone with a Swiss version isn't too difficult, but if you've never done a swap before I'd suggest that you leave it to an expert. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 In my experience the Swiss ETA and the Asian copy are 100% interchangable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I have seen different means of fixing the movement in place, hopefully this is the same on your 2 movements and you should be good to go. I would also think that the stem should be the same to, so hopefully you wont have to unwind the crown. ST4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
