Hi,
Having recently got a Tudor BB58, I'm toying with the idea of selling my Breitling Super Ocean II 36mm and going for a Tudor Heritage 36mm (getting an explorer feel)...
https://www.tudorwatch.com/watches/blac ... 79580-0001
This watch comes with an ETA 2824 (albeit modified I assume), so for £2000 its very expensive, appreciating all the obvious stuff, build quality, brand etc.. I picked up a Steinhart Ocean One (same kind of movement) for just over a 10th of the price. I know this isn't apples for apples.
Any one got a view?
Cheers
H

Re: Expensive ETA
A Schofield with the same ETA2824 will set you back in excess of £3k.

Re: Expensive ETA
My original Black Bay is an ETA, Bremont based on ETA, IWC have ETA movements (I believe downers has an ETA in it). There are many more that could be mentioned. I don’t see the issue, but a lot of ‘WIS snobs’ look down their nose at them. I prefer ETA/Selitta base due to cheaper and easier servicing/repairs etc.. If you like it go for it, it’s a tried and tested workhorse of a movement. As always, only my opinion/thoughts.

Re: Expensive ETA
I too have an ETA black bay. In general the ETA’s have probably held their value at least as well as the newer IHM BB’s so I don’t see it as much of an issue.

Re: Expensive ETA
From a collecting point of view I do like "differentiated" movements as a criterion. Nowt wrong with ETA but having a plethora of watches all based on an identical movement would be somewhat humdrum IMHO. Unique inhouse movements thus rank highly, speaking for myself - but I tend to be parsimonious about paying for them! And they will cost more to maintain while probably requiring specialist attention.
