Glock24: While the term "Asian ETA" movement is a loose term and definately open to a variety of definitions, in your case, there is no need for too much special concern. Octo is a very reputable company. The ETA movement inside your watch is an authentic ETA movement. It is not any sort of replica, reproduction, or unauthorized copy. It is, however, an ETA movement that is authorized and designed by ETA to be manufactured in Asia (China) and distributed to the Asian market. From all reports, it is made to the exact mechanical specifications as any other ETA movement of its type and calibre, it is just made at a cheaper overall production cost and at a much closer distribution point to its ultimate use. One of the signs that it is an Asian-produced ETA movement is that it will be colored in gold, as you will see when you get your watch. You will also see that it is officially signed and stamped ETA. There has been some discussion and debate whether these ETA movements produced in and made for the Asian market are of equivalent quality as the non-Asian market equivalents. All I can say is that the jury remains out so far and there has been no overwhelming evidence to end the debate. I would be very surprised if your movement is not within specs. when it arrives. Hope this helps. Last edited on Tue Dec 18th, 2007 08:19 pm by |
