Hey guys. I've tried for the past ~ 45minutes trying to find some clear cut answers as to which movement is the best suited for the job of this guy here:
http://www.torobravos.xyz/index.php?route=product/product&path=113&product_id=1326

There's half a dozen versions with a bunch of different movements ranging from 150-400$. I'm not by any means a pro on movements so i thought maybe someone could give some input from personal experience with the movements and steer me in the right direction regarding reliability etc.

Versions:
1: Asian ETA 2813 21600bph - 149$
2.Miyota 9015 28800bph - 398$
3. Asian 2824-2 28800bph - 348$
Apparently there's also a version with a 2892 movement.

Other than the basic browsing of threads and seeing peoples experiences. There isn't a cut and dry answer (atleast easily found).

What is the advantages/disadvantages and is the cost +/- worth it?

Thanks so much in advance <3

Movement side, go with either Miyota or the A2824, the second hand sweeps more fluently like the gen compare to the A2813. Miyota, A2824 and A2813 is pretty robust and reliable.

Aesthetics side, I don't know, perhaps Zenith expert will chimes in on that.

I agree with Zeinharis about choice of movements. However, your list is essentially a comparison of apples and oranges. There's more that accounts for the price differences than just the movement. The $149 is the rose gold version - a fantasy. The $348 is stainless steel and the bronze is $398.

Thanks for the input on the movements guys. But yikes! Totally passed that one with the RG finish. Was wondering what was up with that guy. I'm looking at getting the bronze version - so I'll see what's availible in the way of movements for that one. Thanks for the input though! Much appareciated.
I also have a 2824-2 in my Tag carerra rep and it runs great for the past ~6months with 4-5 days of wear. Keeps great time too at like -2sec a day.

Anyways. Again, thanks!
