does anyone have any experience with the STP brand movement? I ran across an article on Swiss watches starting to use STP branded Swiss movements due to how hard it is to get ETA. I went to the STP site and pulled some info in their STP 1-11 which looks really close to an ETA 2824-2. http://www.swisstp.com/media/1097GCR5/STP1-11_Technical_package_specifications.pdf
I have one in my Fossil Automatic. Runs very nicely, easy to start and set. No concerns about keeping time, but not formally tested.
I had a Zodiac reissue with one last year with no issues whatsoever ever. Ran consistently +7sec/day on the wrist. I’ve heard of micro brands having some QC issues when ordering in bulk but don’t know specifics.
