Randy...when you put it like that I feel guilty for picking on JS...it's obvious he is Genius and I am just a mere mortal in his presence!...I'm Sorry...
:P Now Oscar, you may be a hard on the guy. Considering his background and previous professions?? I think he has come a long way. After all he has gone from, did you rewind the tape to I designed this watch. This in itself would be difficult for most people. He is not only a certified gemologist, watchmaker and general all around expert, but, has done it all in a couple of months. I think sheer jealousy has overtaken some of us as we know deep down that we could never hope to do the tings that he's done. I mean that sincerely. How many of us could do what he has.
JS on another forum!!! Is this Guy for Real!!Exclusive..........very 1st 300 pieces...............what a crock of Crap :P:P Tissot was the 1st to use it! JS obviously doesn't have a clue about Watches/Horology face4.gif

Posted: Fri Sep 22, 2006 3:18 am Post subject: See it first! ETA G15.261 retrograde chronograph
Announced at Basel 06, the new Swiss ETA G15.261 has been pretty highly anticipated. I thought I remembered an announcement that Tissot would have them first in the PRS516 line, but I have not seen one myself.
The first watch to be delivered to the public with this groundbreaking new ETA movement will be from Android, and exclusive to ShopNBC viewers. Pics are down below.
I spoke with Wing and he says that he was able to secure the very first 300 pieces of this movement, which is a major accomplishment for a brand that is not all-Swiss! Wing has quite an amazing story to share about these movements, but I will let him tell it instead.
Here are the specs that I have found on the movement:
ETA G15.261 quartz chronograph movement
Diameter: 10½''' (23.30 mm)
Height: 5.25 mm
Frequency: 32,768 Hz
Jewels : 6
Functions: hours, minutes, seconds, date, chronograph
Chronograph functions: central 30-second counter, over 180° (retrograde hand, scale in the counter-clockwise direction)5 minute counter at 2 o’clock, over 120° (retrograde hand, scale in the counter-clockwise direction)60 minute counter at 10 o’clock, over 144° (retrograde hand, scale in the clockwise direction)
What a classic and beautiful design. 42mm case with an elegant dial.
