he he I just checked all the movements I have and they all have the dark screw lol. OK so I'll take a polished screw and replace the dark one..voila lol..a real eta movement...oh well I'm good with the $100.00 ones too but still that screw is a mystery...have to send the Dark Side Investigative Team out tomorrow...

Wait a sec........real ETA should have the two dark screws

Looks like it is the sellita sw200 movement

It is the same as the ETA 2824 but is assembled by sellita from ETA parts

this just means we won't be paying that top $$ for crap "swiss eta 10000000% authentic!!" no one is going to care any more.

We are just going to buy cheaper asian mvmt watches and swap out swiss mvmts which we buy from other places...

just checked mine-has all the swiss markings that rbj showed via his pics.

This is also the first time I've opened a case back :shock:

roflmao, hey u may want to keep the screw that way , that means it may have come out of a high dollar watch , find out which manufacturer did this as there signature and sell it back to them and double your money, lmao

joe

he he good idea.. I actually think in exchange for swiss parts the Chinese agreed to use all polished screws except one, while also agreeing not to borrow the ETA stamp...and why can't they Chinese duplicate that stamp? It's just three letters...or maybe they already have. :?

 

[MZ]

sellita is a real swiss company by the way

These movements are used in the swiss invicta pro divers since this year

 

[FLIP954RR]

oh i also forgot-thanks to rbj to bringing this to our attention and also thanks to cybee,rbj and vaccum for their pics-that made it easy for a noob like me to properly identify the mvmnt in my PO

 

[Klink]

[Klink]

what is most interesting..

when a copy becomes exact as to an original..

what is it?

a fake?

if you can't tell.. well.. it is genuine original..

lol

remember.. Chinese not allowed to make exact copy of anything

especially eta markings and screws correctly finished..\\

roflamao!

and if is exact to specifications.. what difference anyway?

think about second or twice..

k

 

[tstanley]

What is the difference...

Cost

 

[Klink]

what could possibly be the motive to copy eta...

hmmmmm

damfino!

:shock:

hey it very well could be part that and part another, lmao , but it is not a swiss eta 100% imo

i do think they used the sw baseplate and or copied it , i cant say for sure cause i have never had a sw baseplate in myhands but i know about the company a bit but im not familiar with eta letting some other company even those guys use there parts to make an eta copy , now i do know eta will decorate a movmetn and or tweak one to meet a watch manufacturers specs

nice addition btw

i think u r ok on the dark screws, man , just say it is a panerai movment , lmao see on what vaccum means they do indeed have two darker screws on eta (almost so shiney u cant tell they have been blued or something) but what i was saying was a big blue screw , and there is an indention beside the blue screw that a eta does not have , ok

hope that clears that up for u
