I think there are at least three or four versions of this watch. Ranging from cheap to expensive. My understanding is that they are all pretty bad... which is fair enough, as nothing is going to look quite like the co-axial 8500. The best bang for your bucks out there is actually the most recent version with Asian clone. The ETAs are just not worth it.
I got an Asian 21J (if memory serves me correctly) version from Mark at Timesshops which is fine for the money. My only real complaint would be the domed crystal giving the coke bottle effect - the watch itself has been fine and I may choose to upgrade the crystal in time. Good luck! Good luck!
