The 2836 is actually good enough, it's reliable and the date setting works like in gen. I don't think they'll ever clone that movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I thought also this one was repped also in its movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yllekp 1,684 Posted September 25, 2019 It is a 2824 with 8800 deco plates and black balance wheel as far as I am aware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but those watches have required a clone to be made because of the date setting by hour hand, the gen 8800 has a regular date quickset, just like the 2836/2824. I actually prefer this one, the date setting on the 8500 clone drives me insane.. 11 minutes ago, yllekp said: It is a 2824 with 8800 deco plates and black balance wheel as far as I am aware.

Don't get me wrong... we are just discussing, I am not trying to tell "clone would be better than a2824 decorated", not at all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted September 25, 2019 Gotcha. I'm actually very glad that they were able to use the 2824,they're reliable and parts are readily available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SunnyG 76 Posted September 25, 2019 Do you think it's worth getting this watch serviced straight away, or is the consensus that this is a reliable watch/will last without it? If anyone has any tips on how to do a few (easy/novice level) DIY checks that would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If anyone has any tips on how to do a few (easy/novice level) DIY checks that would be great If it goes well, let it go. DIY: I also check them on timegrapher (regulate if needed) and grease the crown thread and gasket but leave this if you're not used to work on watch movements.
