Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted June 18, 2014 aside from looking dirty as all hell under a loupe and running well and smooth as silk...what is this? excuse super large pics but kinda need for viewing reference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
George. 34 Posted June 18, 2014 The stamping is a little messy for ETA, better trained eyes could give you a far more definitive answer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
houndoggie 58 Posted June 18, 2014 Swiss, at least the incabloc is. It is the older KIF spring, I think... and I think that isn't repped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted June 18, 2014 to my trained untrained eyes I see both traits of swiss and clone parts...more curious than anything really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bklynboy 0 Posted June 18, 2014 looks a clone imho, not swiss, eta stamp is a bit wonky to pass qc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted June 18, 2014 Possibly a refurbished ETA with some Asian parts, looking at your photos, it appears to of been poorly plated too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted June 18, 2014 to the naked eye the plating looks sufficient and neat but under 10x mag it does look pretty shoddy...end of day the purchase was a pretty good deal but if you order swiss this is likely the kind of mash up you are likely to get lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Minor repair and/possible movement replacement if possible. This is why now Ihave 2 pieces iI'm scared to send away to be repaired as they both need what is beyond my comfort level and tool level. Heck if he just told me to fuck off I'dllike that better than the silent treatment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
