Novum 0 Posted October 12, 2012 Question above: Why is there no Omega Deville with a Clone ETA or Swiss ETA Movement? These watches are great dressers. Only finding them with 21j movement. Any experiences? http://puretime.co/product/de-ville-ss-white-dial-on-brown-leather-strap-a2813/ http://puretime.co/product/de-ville-ss-whiteblue-dial-on-black-leather-strap-a2813/ Great watches...but a daily beater with 21j? Risky...isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,463 Posted October 12, 2012 I don't know much about that particular watch but I wouldn't say that having a 21j movement in a daily beater is risky. They can be robust and reliable movements even although they are cheap - obviously not as smooth a sweep as an Asian clone ETA or Swiss ETA of course so that might be a consideration for you.

Is it possible to change the movement into an ETA movement after purchase? You'd need other dial and hands, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,463 Posted October 12, 2012 I'm not an expert in this type of watch DIY but I'm prretty sure you will need at least new hands. Dial I couldn't say. To be honest though, it sounds more hassle than it's worth! Try emailing Mary and Rochest (Watch International) with a picture of what you want and ask if it comes with an Asian clone or Swiss movement - you might get a nice surprise!

MW1 0 Posted October 13, 2012 You know, a 21j as Del says is not too bad. I recently bought a Pam, from a member and he said the watch had been bought, by its previous owner in 2001-2 and its still going strong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greetings Because he is a fucking dropshipper. And because of many more reasons. Watchinternational can ship this watch to any of your EU friends, and you'll get it in Germany with no problem.
