hello,

i talk with an specialist of MOVEMNTS as he said that the
asian 6497-1/2 is bad because the ancor of the watch , only
works 1/2 year max. because the glue used there is very bad
and she have a lot of people that buy watches with those
ASIAN UNITAS 6497 with or without "swan neck" ,
and the watch stops

Bullshit.
The A6497 is bullet proof!

the ancor of the watch

I think we may be a little lost in translation here. Could you try this in whatever language you speak and I'll have one of our members translate.

Iam a noob and cannot help here but since i was considering a rep with the asian 6497 manual, it would be nice to know if the movement is more reliable than for eksample the asian 21j.

I assure you, regardless of what this guys "expert" says, there is nothing wrong with the A6497, it is a strong, reliable MVT.

I agree. Asian 6497 is bullet proof. Just as good as Swiss

so
my watch make , opens an ASIAN 6497 and the quality is very bad,ex: the anchor
i have people who the watch simple broke
i have people who the anchor simple, broke
so if you now a lot of things about this movemnt like you say
so compare the anchor to an ETA and next say something about-

For me , the most Swiss ETA6497 movements in rep PAMs are all 6497-1 with 18000VPH . What does that mean ? It means if you only trust Swiss movement , you will get a basic low beat hand wind movement , and not with incoblock .

And about the A6497 , I believe there're three different A6497 movement .
1. copy from 6497-1 in 18000VPH , low quality , no engraved bridge .
2. upgrade from the first , engraved bridges , still low beat , the basic parts are still not good .
3. Copy from PAM movement in 21600VPH high beat and also with incoblock . I believe most of the fans love this movement , so do I . Trustable , stable , and good power reserved . some got bridges plating and some not , but they're really good .

If you feel bad about the A6497 , I think you might always get the low-end pcs . And you might got 1 or 2 movements . They're loud , low power reserved , can't keep good time , easy broken ...... Maybe you should try a good one next time .

Check mine , it's still based in A6497 , it run's +2 sec/day and power reserved over 48 hrs . Is this bad ? I love it !

WTF is the anchor? Say the word in Portuguese and we can translate because "anchor" makes no sense.

And BTW, learn who you are talking to before you came in here and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about, not a good start buddy. For starters, I do know one end of a 6497 from the other, I could rebuild one in my sleep if I needed to and I'm telling you it's a good, simple, strong and reliable MVT!

Geeze, noobs these days . . . .

The OP is talking complete nonsense. The A6497 is one of the most robust watch movements around.

Mate...don't feed the troll.

Especially when they don't speak English, or know what the hell they're talking about.

Just let him have his anchor, and throw him overboard....;)

Hey dickwad, I don't get mad with noobs all that easy but I own this town and you will NOT speak to me like that!

There is no part in a watch called an anchor! They go on boats. Post it in Portuguese so we can understand what you are talking about!

I do know about watches, I work on them every day for a living, do you? Now, pull your head in or rack off!

I don't know what's anchor you said .
So , shouldn't I be here talk to you too ?
If there're no one know what're you talking about , is that our problem or yours ?
If most people keep well with their 6497 movt but only you always got problems , is that our faults ?

If you're real starter in movements or watches , be carefull who & what you talking about . Maybe you won't loss a thing but you never got your answer .
Keep stay in your stupid idea and with your poor watches .

I bought an A6497 from a friend 6 months ago. Before that, he had it 3 years. It is still going strong with no issues and keeps perfect time.

By the way, you telling the admin of this board that he does not know anything about watches and movements is not a good move. I have determined that you Sir, are an Idiot.

.............and after your last post I fear you will not even be able to read this.
