I told you guys I bought a VIPmariner from Tim with A21J mvmnt in it. I then bought Rivers with ETA copy and went to work. I like the case of the VIP Sub and put Rivers' ETA mvmnt into it. It was a very easy swap for someone like me who doesnt have very much watch knowledge.

Well I ran it to my watchsmith for him to look at it and he was quite impressed. He says the ETA copy looks swiss to him. I left it with him for a tune up and he said it will take swiss plates and parts. He believes that it is a surplus ETA without the stamp.

He told me to buy with confidence as he will have no problem working on them in the future for me.

High Five,

Natron

that's great you have someone who can keep your watches running...does the movement have an SW on it. If

it takes Swiss parts may be a Sellita movement... :)

The new movement in the VIP mariner is still not quote the same as Rubie's ETA copy.

He keeps receiving screwed product from his dropshipper, and giving it away for a song.
I'm sure he'll let us know when he's got enough QC'd pieces in.
