at , SHOPNBC I see what appears to be a couple decent values ...but, fitted with the Sellitas SW200 what's up with that movement :confused1:
Honestly... the reports I have heard has stop me from buying:huh:

i have had no troubles with mine...

I have had six SW200 and no issues. Remember Sellita has built ETA movements for years, so it is not they are a new to watch movements.

I don't think it's the movement that is the problem.
In many instances it's the way it is fitted to the case.

What is the deal with the confidence in this movement? Sellita modified movements FOR ETA for many years, adding a jewel for an increased power reserve.

Some problems early on, but not lately.

I agree

speaking of problems....what is this i hear with people having problems with the movements in those new sea vulture watches ? i have read that many people had to return them due to the loud noises they make when u are moving ...too bad ..i like the watches but i am not a fan of rubber straps...

Th SW200 is found in many "High End" watch brands. There is nothing wrong IMO with this movement. In fact it has a better reserve than the ETA 2824-2.
It is capable of COSC cert. The sweep function of the second hand IMO is slightly smoother. Not a bad next step in the evolution of the 2824-2.

I have a COSC cert Invicta with the SW200 movement that performs well within specs.

I think Foggy is right: The issue isn't the movement, it's how it is fitted in cases. There have been crown issues with SW200 movements used in other brands - as well as Invicta - where the cases are over-sized.

Great Maestro what other brands are using the SW200? I heard Tissot(but not sure) and Oris (also not sure) if in fact those brand are using the mov.
Are these two brands experiencing the same problem?

Breitling, Oris, Invicta, Grovana, Croton (I believe) and many more. It will soon be as common as the ETA 2824, which inspired it. Again, the issues seem to be with over-size watches. I think this is one reason ETA developed the new line of movements just for extra large cases.

Here's a link to the manufacturer:
