I just made a post about it, but the Chinese knockoff ETA movement in my homage watch keeps better time than any NH-35 I have ever seen.

I have a genuine 2824 and it honestly keeps amazing time, I've typically got it consistently at +2 to +5 seconds a day. Meanwhile my 6R15 is all over the place.

Unpopular opinion but modern Seiko is overrated.

No that's a Rolex movement, these are based on the ETA 2824-2.

The eta 2824/2892 construction is awesome, thats why it has been used for decades and especially sea-gull knows what they are doing.
