Thanks Chris,

Yes the movement I posted is exact pitures copied from Getat. All are Asian movements.
I can live with other flaws but at least the watch to regulate for better accuracy, running few minutes fast per hour is really driving me crazy  :Mad:



i understand how u feel bro. if this happend to me, i will  :Scolding: also.

Not in a mood to take pictures  :'( From the above shown that the uneven paint on 4,5,6 o'clock indexes, especially very visible on number 4  :thumbsdown:

Received the reply from Getat, he is saying the movement might be magnitised during the shipment.  ??? ???

i'm sending the above watch to watchmaker since the watch is easy to open and i just try to regulate it myself....

your homage watch is using swiss or china made movement?

Getat claim that they test each watch in 6 position before ship out. Running 4min fast per hour is too much, I think you can ask for a replacement. I have 1 homage from Getat and 1 from Jackson. The 1 from Getat was running about 1min fast per day, and the 1 from Jackson is around 20sec per day.

Indeed Getat is right, a forummer in WUS requested him to include timegrapher results of the watch which he did. :thumbsup:
