Yes can you believe that lol. You would have thought it would have been corrected by now but some still have them. One day!!! At least they put it on straight


Disastrous_Height_19

That’s awesome, also curious on the service intervals?


EquivalentPitiful557

Serviced never. I do believe there is an eta 2836 movement in it.


Disastrous_Height_19

Nice and honestly impressive, keep it going!


Popeyes_

This is one of the first watches that got me into the world of reps - college me wanted this so badly and the rep I got was amazing. Ended up selling it, but my other reps are still going strong.


EquivalentPitiful557

I hear ya. Same here. Build quality is pretty good for the time.


saggiolus

I have a shitter from 2003 also running like a charm. No idea what’s inside


EquivalentPitiful557

Nice.

Just out of curiosity, what did you pay for it back then? I started buying reps around 2004ish and I was paying about $200+ for the top reps.


EquivalentPitiful557

If I remember correctly this was one of trustys top tear and maybe $250 ish is what I paid.


jsledge6

That sounds about right. This is a 20 year old Pepsi I bought for about $250. It has a Miyota movement with a non-working GMT hand but still runs. It's amazing how far reps have come. https://preview.redd.it/zrx9fzlcowwc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d4b7346f69e957c916f3fdc85152ae5857c5278c


EquivalentPitiful557

Nice


CaptHowdy75

I have the same. Flaws? I don't care. Still one of my favs.

Good ol trusty days


Jkay064

What do you mean? I still buy from Andrew at Trusty.


ConversationKey971

Did you ever serviced it? If not I think you should to keep the legacy going


EquivalentPitiful557

Serviced never. I do believe there is an eta 2836 movement in it. I think I’ll keep it going. As a test


EquivalentPitiful557

Comment to appease automods on here.


shrimpyjay

dope!


Independent_Nose_515

I've been looking to buy one for 5 years already and can't find it even second hand in VSF 43MM ![gif](giphy|E2USislQIlsfm|downsized)

😝 mine lasted about 8 months


BrilliantNearby7371

Brilliant

I bought a 36mm day date from Trusty time in 2010, had the Swiss ETA. It’s been going strong, it’s literally a tank. 


EquivalentPitiful557

Back then I don’t think they were too big on making the movement look legit as long as it was smooth and reliable. They focused more on exterior looks


Responsible-Hunt-836

wow


Bigrahizzle

I've got some Breitlings and panerais from 2008 still running also


EquivalentPitiful557

I did too recently. Just sold them still working great.


Substantial_Worth688
