The SW200 is a swiss clone of the ETA2824, all the parts r interchangable, bascially its the same movement, so realiability, accuracy wise its the same. However if u want to be technical, if there is a choice i probly go with the 2824. cool10.gifcool10.gif chris ps. great choice, the triton is a very cool watch.

personally I would choose the one that appeals to YOU the most, I know some folk would not buy a watch because of a name, or a dial layout , as it just might not appeal to our personal taste. As to reliability??? can't answer that as I don't own either of the watches. Good luck.

I agree with Shane. Pick the one that YOU like the most. Since movements are so similar, choose the dial layout that you like best in appearance.

Gnomon watches carries the Steinhart here on 3Thand6.gif....also as far as the movements go....the eta is the original and the sw200 is the copy,wouldn't you rather own an original if available at the same price?:D....the eta uses the "nivarox" balance wheel and mainspring assembly which they own under the Swatch Group and is considered the best .....Selitta owns nothing but the right to copy the eta and use who knows what balance wheel/mainspringwatch2.gifSo imho the Steinhart would be my choice based on what powers the watch yourock.gif

yea Tamir, tbh, i dont understand how they work. Debaufer n Steinhart both same models that r cheaper than the other. face4.gif well i guess its up to u then, 95$ more get u the 2824 n better strap, i think its worth it. Although one can get a very good custom strap for around that money. I bought my steinhart pilot from Gnomonwatches, anders is a great with deals.  chris Last edited on Fri Jan 11th, 2008 02:37 pm by Dookie |
