Is Swiss Unitas 6497 direct swap for Asian 6497?
As above. If i have a Asian 6497 watch, would a Swiss Unitas 6497 be a direct swap? Not sure if stuff like the movement holder is the same, or does it normally come with the movement? Wanted to try out Getat, but i don,t expect the Asian 6497 to be serviceable so eventually there,ll be a need to replace it.

Yes, the movement is interchangeable.
Pinion is referring to the "gear" of the hr n min hands.
You can try installing without swapping the pinion at 1st stage.
If its not tall enough, than u swap the pinion.

If you are getting a vintage pocket watch for the 6497 swap, suggest to secure the movement first.
These swiss movt are getting more n more ex. And difficult to source.
Also note that Getat delivery can be like rubberband.

Chinese 6497 are a hit or miss luck.
Luck with you they can perform flawlessly, get a lemon, watch repair guy will be yr best frd.

Ya the delivery lead time is the other thing holding me back. Lol. I found several sellers for the swiss 6497 on ebay from europe. But not sure about they,re reliability.some have 100% positive feedback though. I guess those are ok?xzqt wrote:If you are getting a vintage pocket watch for the 6497 swap, suggest to secure the movement first.

If you're referring to SWISS-MADE-TIIME from EBAY...
...perhaps their price are quite... okay bah... no matter 6498 or 6497, both priced the same @ SGD$270 approx.

Much competitive than OFREI. OFREI must buy alot then budget friendly. Otherwise, SWISS-MADE-TIME better in pricing.
Previously i wanted to hoot 2pc their 2834 movements for keeping, just in case if it comes handy... but too slow...

Tks for all the advise. Managed to get this in the end no need to worry about movement swap already :p
