Thanks for telling me Invicta owns Glycine. I want NOTHING HSN Invicta near me. Invicta are total crap. I was very sad to here they own Glycine.

Brad605If you think invicta is bad wait until you hear about the swatch group. Old logo applied, so pre-invicta ;)

ED61Also interesting that this is basically a Swatch movement (ETA re-branded by Glycine). My other Glycine is a Stellatia. (The Combat 6)

lailokenBefore glycine sold to invicta their movements were eta 25 jewels and recently they were selling out their old stock really cheap now all glycine watches under invicta are selita 26 jewels invicta will not be receiving eta movements anymore so that goes for glycine and many others selita will be the new off the shelf sold in bulk swiss movements

ED61And? What’s wrong with Selita? I have a few and IMHO they are as good or even better than ETA (change of date seems smoother in Selita movements).

ED61ETA won’t sell movements outside of swatch group owned brands these days, that’s why they have SWs.

J_b2I don’t want to argue the eta selita it’s like ford and chevy i have one sw500 but I would never pay any kind of decent money for a selita movement yes they do the job but so did the yugo some years ago in case you don’t know what a yugo is it was a shit built car years ago

ED61I know what a Yugo is ;), but kindly disagree regarding Selita :). In my opinion, this movement is very good.

ED61https://wornandwound.com/caliber-spec-eta-2824-rivals-clones/ Please educate yourself. Good read. Also from the article i linked. In fact, the Sellita and the ETA are almost identical, all bar the addition of a 26th jewel on the top of the barrel arbor near the ratchet wheel. This should reduce the friction from the self-winding process. As the ETA has never had any particular problems around friction in its self-winding mechanism, it seems this is rather more of an attempt to create a superficial engineering difference that’ll keep the marketing department (and perhaps a few customers who want bragging rights) happy.
