nakortheblue Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 Opened my SOSF case and saw the "high quality" plastic movement holder. Is this correct for the "ETA" version?
tokei Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 Best thing to do would be to post a picture of it for confirmation. Not sure for the SOSF, but all my others with Gen ETA have metal movement retainers...
fakemaster Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 Correct for what? It's a rep. They can come with metal or plastec even with an eta.
andreww Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 The ETA version should be metal, that's how it's advertised anyway.
nakortheblue Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Posted February 16, 2009 thanks, guys. i'm following up on this with my dealer.
RWG Technical Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 I have seen many plastic holders, it's meaningless in that the holder is designed to hold the movement in place, plastic or metal, no difference and the plastic works just fine... RG
SportsterRider Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 I hate plastic retainers. They simply don't work as well as a metal retainer that is secured with case clamps. All of mine would allow the movement/dial to move around in the case when setting the time or date. If you have a dial that doesn't have dial feet (my Frankenjust, for instance), plastic is useless.

RG Especially since you can't see it...much like the number on a lug. +1,000,000
