Caliber BD6 - Swiss clone 6498-2

[Tanukjaju]

This is a reasonable deal compared to the ETA 649x-2. Has anyone tried this yet?

Pros….
1) Swiss made
2) high beat variant
3) new
4) price compared to ETA

Cons
1) haven’t found the 6497 version yet
2) price compared to Chinese clones

Nice find! I believe it's a twin of 6498, different brand is just a marketing.
6497 would be much more interesting, of course.

A top grade 6498 for a bargain!
Thanks for sharing

Nice to see more options

The description says that they produce it themselves to have an ETA alternative available, because ETA is no longer selling to anyone outside SWATCH group.
Cousins is suing them already for quite some time for this behaviour.
