cheddah Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hey guys, i purchased a BR 01-92 off another member and after owning it for about 3 months i must have done something wrong because it stopped working. Anyone know where i can buy just the rep movement? Not looking to spend a ton of money, just want it working like normal. Thanks in advance, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szvwj Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Do you know what movement is currently in the Watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddah Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Nope i dont, i know it was originally purchased from a guy names Josh.

szvwj Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 It was probably purchased from Josh at Perfect Clones: hxxp://www.joshwatch.com/ I think the first thing to do is to figure out which movement is inside. If you can't figure it out from the Perfect Clones website, maybe you can post pictures of the movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddah Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Ok i found out its the Asia Eta 2836-2. Where can i buy just the movement?

szvwj Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Otto Frei has ETA 2836-2 Nickel Plated movements, for $138.00. http://www.ofrei.com/page893.html#2736 If it were me, I'd check with Ajoesmith to see if he has any Asian 2836-2 movements. Also indicate the watch you have (it may not be a standard 2836-2). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve123456789 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 (edited) I am pretty sure the movement from Dealer (Josh) that was inside the original watch is an Asian Clone (copy) movement and not a real ETA movement. I suggest you not spend the $ 138 plus shipping for the ETA movement when you can buy the watch new with EMS shipping for $230. After having bad luck with Asian automatics I have gone completely quartz. There are two Bell and Ross Chrono quartz that I recommend. They have a 42mm and a 46mm. I also would recommend the Nylon strap or leather verses the Rubber. I find the rubber to hard and uncomfortable. Here is a link to the picture of my watch on Rubber. I paid $ 223 including EMS 5 day shipping from the day I ordered till delivery. In the pics the date is changling due to it being midnight when I took the picture. The movment is a Swiss Rhonda quartz and it has a saphire crystal. They sell a 3 chrono also for botht he 42mm and 46mm but I found it to be to busy looking. Oh yes. I had 46mm BR01 with auto movment and it died a year after owning it (movement).

szvwj Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I wish I could give you a source for a cheap Asian 2836-2. Maybe someone else knows where to get them?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddah Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 yeah cheaper then $140 would help if possible. I bought the watch for $180, if i have to pay $140 i rather buy a new one I wish I could give you a source for a cheap Asian 2836-2. Maybe someone else knows where to get them??
