Yes. it is a good watch. The movement is a bit tricky compared to one of the previous 42mm I sold on here however. I think it may just need more wrist time.

I'd like to know what that means as well.

Possibly he's talking about the DG highbeat Asian movements food in some v5 PO's. DG's are basically an overclocked a21j - they don't last to long, but are cheap to replace..
VS a reg a21j which is cheap, but doesn't have a smooth sweep.
Or vs an eta which is expensive compared to a reg DG and sweep almost identically (but etas last much longer and work much better)

What are you saying amp? Is that North Bay heat getting to you? :rofl:

But gio didn't mention which movement he bought.

I bought an A-2824 and the V edition with the orange bezel..I will keep this movement and if something goes really wrong i will swap to the Eta..I just asked if anyone has just the same because most people here buy the one with the black bezel..

Common "luck of the draw" issues seem to be crooked dial markers, primarily 6,9 and 12, the latching ball on the clasp and tube/crown threads. My markers were straight but the clasp spring and tube threads hit me quick. Not a biggie though, to me the watch is definately worth dropping a few extra dollars into.
I'd say you're going to be impressed with the build quality. I went with the Black bezel and white dial numbers. And am very pleased overall.

+ 10 spd is adjustable, amplitude of 265 is good, the appearance looks good. I'd say you've done very well. Congradulations.
