Hinclimincli 17 Posted April 12, 2017 Hi fellas! I know it's been debated to death but I have been googling all around and it seems I have a gen ETA on my Railmaster. However, I want to run it past you guys as I'm sure you have done that comparison several times and some of you can spot the differences in a matter of seconds. So far it looks like it's got everything it should, including the good incabloc and correct markings. Some photos below: Apologies for the low quality of the photos, my mobile camera is quite good but for some reason doesn't have any macro option. Thanks so much everyone!

markeym3 2 Posted April 12, 2017 Hi, I have a feeling I read recently that a "tell" is the retaining clip that holds the jewel in place for the balance wheel , something to do with the cut outs ,, I will see if I can find the thread.. Here it is http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=129641 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinclimincli 17 Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) That's one of the articles/posts I've read, yep. Some others mention that jewel as one of the tells. I forgot to add a photo of the barrel but in this case is polished, not brushed, which is supposed to be ok. Anyway, this one has a novodiac instead of incabloc, which seems to be a tell of an Asian. I was wondering because the watch is from 2009 and has never presented any problems or anomalies. Edited April 12, 2017 by m0rf0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
