Genius 281 Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) The post had been really informative to me and actually caused me to do even more research into the movements.... but there's one thing I still can't get my head round.. Why do so many people (almost everyone) say the clone eta is so much better them the high beat 2813? If they run at the same speed and after a lot of research on the forums of people saying they can't at all or barely notice the difference in sweep between the 2 is it really worth the extra? I have seen a few people saying they had problems with the new movt (but think that was a while ago when they were first released) and there's also some people who had issues with the eta clones.. Sorry of it's a dumb question but I'm looking to place an order soon and want to be sure its worth the extra to go for an eta clone or weather to just go with the cheaper 2813 highbeat I think all my current auto reps are 21j and the jerkiness is hardly noticeable unless you look very closely Edited June 1, 2014 by 85genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikola Tesla 12 Posted June 3, 2014 Greg, do you know if the quality of any of these movements has changed significantly since your initial assessment in 2010? Any improved at all with regard to reliability/robustness? Any fallen off? Thanks, T- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Chico 0 Posted June 14, 2014 Thank you Greg! This was a big help! Learn something new everyday! I enjoyed the suggestions about the Rolex 3135 clone mvt! I've been wondering about it as I keep seeing it and wondering "should I buy it?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been wondering about it as I keep seeing it and wondering "should I buy it?" They're better than they were, but I still dont really see the point of paying extra for what is, basically, just another asian clone movement that you're never gonna see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spursian 0 Posted July 11, 2014 Thanks Greg. You mentioned about the Miyota 9015. How about the Miyota 8215 that's seen in the Mark XVII by KW? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speirsro 0 Posted August 10, 2014 Thanks for this, Greg. I've read it 100 times, but still need to refer back every now and again. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted August 22, 2014 Never believe what anyone tells you when buying a rep, insist on photos of the movement along side their username, date etc. Today I was sent a BK sub for some work, including a genuine crystal fit. I knew something was off the moment I unpackaged it. Poor guy paid €600 euros for this, and the crystal he sent me to fit is not genuine either. Untitled by Micky.!, on Flickr Untitled by Micky.!, on Flickr Now I'm either going mad, but I not sure, but recall that either BK, or TC did an experiment fitting a 2761 movement to a submariner, anyone know if this could be one of those? Doubt it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonyc 0 Posted September 26, 2014 Just brilliant - now this is all starting to make sense - I think More I read about Reps the more questions arise but this has certainly answered the core of them - not so much in the dark now Thanks Greg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff Laurence 0 Posted November 14, 2014 ST19 is very nice , alright, but my click spring broke in less than a year, and I 'm not the only one. Any one know a repair place in Toronto? Costs way too much to ship back to China. Thanks, Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
