cht Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I'm sorry because I'm a nob, but I'm having trouble searching and finding pictures of the movements sellers on this board are putting in the watches. Specifically, I am interested in the SD, euromariner, noobmariners, etc. Thx in advance and bear with me! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 That's a trick question as you can get these watches with generally 4 types of movements: DG2813 (aka Asian 21J slow beat), DG4813 (aka Asian 21J high beat), Asian copy of an ETA, and the real ETA. Go to Eurotimez section, he has a post on identifying the difference between the Asian copy of the ETA, and the genuine ETA. Look up my re-post of AJS's tutorial on swapping out the DG2813 with the DG4813 and you will see lots of pics of both movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed some 25j ETA's have a "decorated" Rolex engraving and others just stick to their 25J ETA engravings. Is there a difference besides the engraving? Is this just something you have to ask the collector/seller about in regards as to which 25J ETA they are using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this just something you have to ask the collector/seller about in regards as to which 25J ETA they are using? As far as I understand...no. Some have nickel plating...the standard is gold...no difference otherwise. You have to confirm with your seller which movement. There are Asian copies of ETASs, and the actual swiss ETA proper.
