sherbert79 8 Posted August 16, 2017 Just pulled the trigger on a nice new piece, but decided to spend a bit more and go for the Asian ETA, any tips on how I check that I'm getting an ETA and not something cheaper and less reliable? Ta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

black263 228 Posted August 16, 2017 WTF is an Asian ETA? An Asian clone, I understand. A Swiss ETA, I understand. But an Asian ETA? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherbert79 8 Posted August 16, 2017 Am I ok to do that if it's a TD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadPickle 2,747 Posted August 16, 2017 Asian ETA is an m2m term used to mislead the NOOBS into thinking the movement is better than it is. A bit like "gen spec" and "case reshape" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edwinowl 180 Posted August 16, 2017 It's not an A ETA bro. Its a derision of a cheaper Chinese 2813 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TRANSPORTER 1 Posted August 16, 2017 Some are good some are a pain in the ARSE, ive got one in a 45mm PO, ive had to change a few parts with gen parts most notably setting levers and date mechanism parts, but that's just one movement so don't expect the worse ok.

BadPickle 2,747 Posted August 16, 2017 I would guess it's a 2824 or 2836 clone, rather than the budget movement, the 2813 for that price. Not ETA, just cloned Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
