Vintage ETA is not bad Archie-drone. Also since this is manual-wind it has a round post for the crown-wheel, and not the wear-prone lens-shape one.

Other than their automatics being pretty overpriced, and parts getting more and more restricted ETA is pretty good. I'd say their quartz movements are better than most Japanese quartz.

The ETA-2824 has a fatal flaw though, which I assume goes back to the 70's where beat rate, and therefore mainspring strength was increased, leading to some parts in the handwinding mechanism being subjected to larger forces, and more wear.
