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...
Are you sure about that?!? If I recall correct, Zinex uses a 2836-2 GMT for the "Trimix". I pretty much doubt that Joe (founder) would use anything cheaply modified?!?
I know they might have them specially made - but maybe Ralf has something simular up his sleeve?
I can't comment on the watch you mentioned because I do not own 1 or have knowledge of the movement used....but do a google search and see for yourself of "eta 2836 modified/GMT"....there is no eta 2836 GMT in the eta catologue,why would eta make this movement or even modify it if they produce a true GMT in the eta 2893? ....are you sure? face4.gif
Ralf knows what he is doing by sourcing a eta 2893 for his GMT....then there will be no ????hand6.gif...this is a post I copied from WUS where it seems many visit,it is written by a well known WIS and watchmaker:
It's not just xxxxx that have problems, the 2836 is not designed to run as a GMT, these Chinese modded movements will all give you trouble eventually so just steer away from the 2836 GMT models, if you just have to have one save your money for a 2893...
