I would like to educate a few of you as to what this eta 2836 modified/GMT is....1st of all eta does make a 2836 which is a day/date version of the 2824-2....they do not however make a eta 2836 modified/GMT and never have...check their catologue....to the best of my knowledge as well as other experienced WIS whom I learned this from and some research the 2836 modified/GMT is a Asian modified movement used for years in Replica watches...do a google search of "eta 2836 modified/GMT" and see for yourselves ... it is not known to be the most dependable of watch engines.There is one well known Swiss company that does modify the eta2836 and that is Azimuth due to the very complex cases and designs they use with unusual hand displacements :)

ETA makes a GMT movement which is the eta 2893 and it is considered the best....it comes in 3 variations...elabore or top grade....chronometer grade and COSC all 3 being leagues above even the 2824 or 2836...and as Ralf said costs more that the above mentioned GMT . I know Ralf being the great guy he is and a WIS just like us is not trying to make any profit on the movement end as many others do using this fine movement and once again I have to say that $650. is a sweet deal on a well known,well made Benarus with the eta 2893 movement powering it....for that I say Thank You to Ralf as he has once again brought the members of this forum what looks like it will be a exceptional watch at a more than fair price!
