Your shock system is not a Incabloc it's a kif shock, looking at the balance wheel it's not a chronometer part. another word it's not a chronometer grade eta 2824 as advertised. It should look like this one.  What he advertised, and according to his pictures is different from what you have. :( What you have is a Economique ETA 2824, probably assembled in Chi-swiss. more reading. http://velociphilewatch.blogspot.com/2006/06/eta-movement-grade-differences.html This is what he advertised http://www.timetechtalk.com/view_topic.php?id=4509&forum_id=2 |

So what's the bottom line? Is it still worth the price? If so, why bother lying about the particulars of the movement? |

Is it still worth the price? If so, why bother lying about the particulars of the movement? |
