May I ask why you are looking for ETA "Swiss" ? Most movements in rep PAM's are solid i.e. 6497....are you trying to get as close to gen as possible this way?

Hello, thank you for your help i want the swiss Aut. ETA because the life time and for daily use!
i heard the replica ETA will not work for a long time and to fix a replica movement in Europe will cost a lot or it not posssible!

How is the life time of the swiss ETA and Asia ETA?

Hello Mido, this is a forum with a lot of experts willing to share their knowledge, but it doesn't help if you put your question in a big font style! Your question has been debated extensively before. You can read more in the technical section and find threads with the search function. The short answer is: don't worry about asian movements, they are pretty reliable, and if they fail, you can buy a new one and replace it, it's not a huge cost, servicing a Swiss ETA movement will set you back about the same. ETA movements have become difficult to find because ETA doesn't sell them to third parties anymore.
If you are interested in an automatic PAM with Swiss movement, you should have a look at what Davidsen offers, he's in the Dealer section.

I have experience.
Don't get the Swiss, because they are usually NOT Swiss. If they are Swiss, they are usually old and dirty movements.

Asian movements cost about $50, Swiss movements cost about $150. If you want Swiss, get the Asian one and ask a watchsmith to replace the movement with Swiss for you.

You mean the not Swiss or old swiss and dirty movements cost 150$????

Can i ask you which is better the Asia ETA 2836-2 like in PAM29 or the 7750(non chrono) like which in PAM 312? i heard that the 7750 is stronger and will work longer, is that true??

Thanks for the informations

Mido691: Most of replicas will have Asian counterparts of ETA movement or dubious "Swiss ETA" - aftermarket, old movement, bad oiled and sold as "new".
General idea is to:
a) get Asian movement and try to replace it with Swiss ETA movement using your watchsmisth

or

b) get Asian version of popular ETA movement and service it using rep-friendly watch smith locally

Serviced Asian movement by skilled watch smith will give you about 4-5 years of trouble free use and you can service it again or use this time to save money for Swiss ETA as replacement.
