WM9 and Euromariner ETA

[rosnik]

I want have 3135 copy movement!!!

[involt]

Here is a photo comparison of a gen and rep movement.

These watch was send to Rolex for a service..and thing gone all wrong....they realized that they were looking at a SUPERB 3135 copy...and so they destroyed the movement by bending it!!

Enjoy these litle pics as these are the only ones that i have personaly looked on the web!

First Gen then rep:

Look what they have done to this "king" of rep movement!!

I'm a bit confused. Are you saying that Rolex would arrogate the right to destroy a property that was left it in charge, giving back the scraps (considering that they have been phographed)? This puzzles me...

maybe its the opposite and the real rolex movement is on the second picture.

anyone knows where can we find these replica movements?

@elprimerozen: does your 2678-2 clone look real like the 2836-2 clone does? Is it visually obvious that it's a clone or you really have to know what to look for?

I'm pretty confident that the 2678-2 used in wm9 v2 sub is gen ETA. If anybody knows how to tell between a gen and a clone 2678-2 like what Chris did, pls share it so we can keep wm9 honest. I myself have a watchsmith check every 2836-2 to make sure it's gen ETA. Once my watchsmith found a couple clones for me, I told my supplier don't do that again. He's been honest ever since.

Shundi said it right. Neither 2836-2 nor 2678-2 is correct. As long as it's gen ETA (hopefully more precious and even on the dw) it's as good or better than 2836-2. I'll post pic how the dw overlay works with this smaller movement.

BUT still is the problem with the datewheel that can not possible be at the same place as a eta 2839-2 movement when the movement is only 17 mm !!!???
