Bbsee 469 Posted June 22, 2019 Hi all. I'm new to the hobby and to date have bought cheaper models with movements such as the Asian 2813. I'm looking to explore movements a little higher in class. Question - I came across the 8500 movement, can anybody advise or share their experiences on the quality of this? It is for an Omega Aqua Terra. Thanks.

FudgyDocker 3,512 Posted June 22, 2019 Like most rep movements, it is a clone and could possibly fail. But the good news is that the Asian clone movements are replaceable quite cheaply. Oh, and welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bbsee 469 Posted June 22, 2019 @FudgyDocker thanks for the info. Do you know if this is a clone of the original Omega movement itself? Forgive me if an obvious question. Question Miyota 8215 - I read on here that this is a workhorse however is prone to jittering if the hand is heavy. Can anybody share experience with this movement, and whether an Omega Aqua Terra would be a suitable model for the movement. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
