no different than any Asian homage with the exact same Asian 7750 that can be had for under $200. Chinese watches have a good following and I own more than a few myself . ....like this thread started out as saying replicas are hitting mainstream watchmaking ;)

And there is nothing wrong with getting or offering the Asian clone movements or homages. Just make sure you know what you are getting/paying for. Just like this Zinex Chrono with the 7750 clone in it. A fun watch and I have recieved allot of nice comments on it. But a Eta 7750 would be worth at least 10 times more if in a true swiss made watch. It just depends on what you want and what your budget is. ;) Attachment: zc004.jpg (Downloaded 207 times)

Sorry...guess I am being misunderstood here...there is nothing wrong with a well-made Asian watch. Many of the cases on my watches are Asian and they are as perfect as anything Swiss. My point was that it appears this is this guy's first encounter with Swiss ETA movement...if he is so easily duped on his "Original" design for his chronograph, then how is it not an easy transition to thinking the same may have happened on his purchase of high end Swiss Made movements. At any rate, he has shown himself to be a truly unknowledgeable entrant into the watch industry...buyer beware!

 Like the exprseeion I heard growing up" Geez Louise" not everything is copesetic! I read this and it leaves that uncomfortable feeling in your stomach. You have to be careful who you buy from, I trust the companies who we meet and know on our forum, and the higher brands, but from there................................?Great article Oscar Regards robt

I can't even imagine how uneducated this guy must be as to the watch industry...which raises a question. He got duped on the design...how does he know he did not get duped on the ETA movements?
