Why would anyone go to Alkis to service an ETA movement? Seems like a waste of talent and moneyOriginally Posted by gdl203
I was thinking the same thing. I'm pretty sure any competent watch maker can service an ETA movement.

Fair point, but OP did ask for the best...
OP, feel free to PM for a more reasonable possibility in the same neighborhood.

It was a lot less than that when i bought it nine years ago. It's also a very rugged watch and one I don't mind knocking around - it has seen a lot and I tend to reach for that one the most on weekends.Originally Posted by gdl203
Exactly...it's not a dress watch; it's robust and meant to be worn in a variety of conditions.

Not specially suit friendly, but one of my favourites anyway:Originally Posted by .Kurtz.
Great watch, Kurtz. I often wear my Omega Seamaster and Christopher Ward Trident with my suits. May not be technically correct, but I think they both look great with anything, including suits.

I have a question for you guys. I recently purchased a Timefactors speedbird III direct from the webstore. I received the watch and it is running about 40 seconds fast a day. Eddie (owner of time factors) told me to wait a few weeks and let the movement settle in. However, I have other watches with the ETA 2824-2 and they didn't need any time to "settle in." I plan on getting the movement regulated/adjusted, but I was wondering if maybe I should demand an exchange from Eddie. I know that the 2824 tends to run a bit fast out of the box, but 40 seconds seems excessive to me. I'd love to hear your opinions.

Also, even shipping can sometimes have an effect on older (i.e. broken-in) movements. If it were me, I would fully wind, and let the watch run down a few times. Each time before winding it back up again, I would slap the head of the watch against the soft, meaty part of my palm a couple of times.
