....too bad the ETA movement is "only" a chinese copy...i honestly thought it would be a real ETA...which doesnt cost much..... availability is the problem...ETA would never deliver any movements to china...they know whats gonna happen.
too bad

Hate to tell you this......but they have been in China for the last couple of years!

i know....everyone seems to produce in china now...even Lange&Soehne, Breguet, Chronoswiss and Patek !!
just kidding.....question is....are those real ETA ( even when produced in china ) or copies....and in times of CNC manufacturing....is there a difference ?
I have a 1980 Rollei Camera....produced in Singapur...but as well with german Rollei and Schneider tolerances....not any worse then the real thing.
would be nice to read a comparison from a watchsmith ........ ZIGGY !!!!! Vacuum !!!!!
your opinion please !!

I believe it's 22mm. I do not have a ruler at home, but I compared it with a PAM 24mm band
against the lugs, and B&R (46mm) was a bit smaller.

I also wonder about PVD myself. I know Davidsen's PVD coated PAMs hold up well according
others' posts, but I have no idea about the specific PVD coating used on B&R reps.

I will be able to answer this myself in a month or two when PVD 46mm 01-92 releases
