Member X 91 Posted September 10, 2010 Asian or swiss, pretty much bombproof. The design is decades old so it clearly works well! Don't worry about getting one. Worst of the worst case you can get a new Asian 6498 for about $35 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 83 Posted September 10, 2010 Pretty much bomb-proof. Along with the 6497 it's one of the most reliable movements found in reps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will ask for the Railmaster with 6498 movement and a sapphire glass. She told me that she has only with mineral glass on stock, but I understood that ska ordered one with a sapphire glass from her. so now I'm trying to find out if she can deliver one like ska's watch (I really hope she can, because I really want one!!) At least I secure about the movement.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedzmaster 0 Posted September 11, 2010 6497/8 was used in pocket watches. In your POCKET! It has a huge balance spring. Its robust as hell! Best movement ever made! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
