Attention all Swiss ETA buyers.... Please Read! - Page 4

just my 2 cents. I think I am starting to get tired of this Swiss ETA BS too... My current non chrono replica watches are powered by Asian clone of ETA28xx movement. I got what I paid for and am very happy that I made the right choice. In this game, really, educate yourself more, more and more. Don't get easily misleaded by the sellers. A highly possible way is to take similar path like me. Go and get yourself Asian ETA clone (like on my SSD). It's a superb movement.

Especially those from Seagull, this movement is very good. I won't mind if the repmakers are using this movement extensively.

Takashi, are these clone movements available to buy seperately, or did you already buy your SSD with the movement fitted in?

You stated earlier that the SSD with the clone movement can be had for well under $150 shipped, but I know of no dealer on this board or the others who sells it for that price.

Can someone actually tell or show the differences between gen and rep ETAs?

wilshire888 · 10-23-2008, 11:34 AM

Sorry, but are we under the assumption that SWISS ETAs are still made in Switzerland; or are we already aware that "ALL" movements are really made in China?

guru · 10-23-2008, 11:35 AM

Taka, totally agree. My Heritage was suppost to be ETA but it is a Seagull,runs 1 sec slow in 5 days! I googled and some people say it is better then the ETA (2824)
Anyhow, I am totally happy!
why don't you guys use the google machine and search for seagull?

That is why I used quotation marks... as in "Swiss"... there is a distinction though between movements made in Asia by ETA and the clone movements that are marked with ETA markings but are not made them...

some parts of the Swiss ETA movements are made in China but the movement is assembled in China. All movement are available in I II and III grade. I do not know which grades have Chinese parts in them.
Anyhow, the main reason for this is that ETA is now controlling the shipments they do. Since 3 months you do not get any 7750 anymore on the bay. I can still get a 7750 from my watchmaker for premium price,700 USD :-)

drfcfighter · 10-23-2008, 04:05 PM

Ofrei still purports to have 7750 for around 550

LegendofSpeed · 10-23-2008, 04:29 PM

that's the lowest grade 7750....
