Hi together, we need your help. I have planned to make the GMT with a ETA 2836-2 GMT modified movement but after getting more information about this movement I am not sure if we shall do. But the much better Eta 2893-2 is also much more expensive so I also thought about a Quartz GMT movement I am not a big quartz fan but I get also many requests about offering a quartz watch because it is more accurate and you don't have to reset the time after not wearing for some days. So I my question is would you prefer it as a quartz GMT watch for $300 or a ETA 2836-2 for $500 or a ETA 2893-2 for $650 The good thing with a quartz is that it is closer at my aim to make affordable watches

For me, it definitely has to be automatic. But cannot comment whether it should be 2836-2 or 2893-2. :P Just curious, what are the differences between the two movements? How 'better' 2893-2 is over the 2836-2? In what way? :shock: If you decide to go with the better movement at price around $650, it is OK with me, just give some time interval between this GMT and the earlier model, so I will have time to save up some money :D. I guess this GMT may be coming around the end of the year? since the Megalodon is still some months from now. :cool:

I've gone 2893 as I'm not getting a Megalodon so I will have plenty of time to save, Also $650 for a 2893 power watch is a bargain in anyone's book

2893-2. Not a big fan of quartz. I don't mind the extra cost for a more stable movement. (vs. the 2836, not quartz)

I would go for a quartz GMT watch for people who want a quartz. And a 2836-2 for $650 for people who want a auto. I like quartz and auto movementsgoofy. This is what I would do is buy the auto first then later get the quartz. David

Do the true GMT 2893. Still a great deal at around $650!

I've looked for a GMT for a while with no luck. Everything is either too small, too expensive, too cheap, too something . . . until this one. As a 45 mm professional grade dive watch with an independently adjustable GMT function, this watch will join an elite group. Off the top of my head, I can only think of the Zinex Trimix and the Doxa 750GMT with similar characteristics, and those list for around $1500 and $2800 respectively. This has a chance to be a landmark watch, and even with the 2893 it will still cost way less than similar models. Seems to me that still meets your aim to make affordable watches, Ralf. As much as I like to save money, gotta vote for 2893.

By the way, nothing wrong with a good quartz watch. I love my Casio Pathfinder and Traser Supersport. It's just not the right movement for this watch. Save that idea for a future model — a Benarus tritium maybe?

My range for watches is $200 to $400. I own lots of Seikos and have a Moray on Pre-order. It appears your desire to serve that very entry market may not be possible, because your base customers want ETA movements and want a $500 to $700 watch. I know for many that is still entry level, but it is a step up just IMHO. That is good if you get the volume you need to make it profitable. Regardless of what the GMT is, I hope you can keep some lower priced watches in your lineup. Last edited on Thu May 21st, 2009 11:12 am by jasontking |
