Noob vendor/product query....

[Rovin]

Just checking out this vendor (no, I am not affiliated so it's not an ad or anything) and they advertise they fit Swiss ETA movements and it sure looks the goods.

What do you guys think?

Stick to the trusted dealers on this forum and use the seach function, there already another thread about this scam.

I'm not certain, but that does NOT look like an ETA movement to me. $495 is WAAAAAYYYY too much. Better examples can be had for less money.

The description is a complete pack of lies. 440L steel? My arse!

This guy is a scammer. The trusted list is there for a reason - honestly, stick to the guys we know won't rip you off. You'll be a lot happier...

Thanks guys, you've all saved me a lot of time wasting!

So I guess I may be a wee bit unrealistic, but essentially what I am looking for is something close the the original.

But I think I was looking at this the wrong way.

Reckon I might get a rep to see if I like it enough to buy the real thing, as there's never going to be a rep that's put together as well as a gen. And I have no intention of trying to pass it off as a real one.

Usually to get all of the above you need to start with a good rep and then have the different experts come in and 'mod' them for you... or of course find a lovingly modded one thats on sale here at RWI. So the costs will be higher but nowhere close to that of a Gen!?

Though the 090 doesnt seem to be much of a hobbyists project watch.

Oh and Im a noob so this is my judgment based on readings here

its really sad to see all this dealers trying to con our hard earned $ with lower quality products and hoping they could pass them off as high-end/ulti reps.

Lol. Love the irony there!
