I received my package this afternoon I'm really surprised, i don't waiting it so soon
But i'm disappointed, i have a sellita SW330 inside instead of an ETA 2893

Eddy-GinieFrom Glycine a few posts down:
"Hello
The movement is based on the ETA 2893-2
Thanks"
Not a lie, but not altogether forthcoming either haha

DR.ZAPLet's call it what it is, an outright lie; especially when the question, which Glycine quoted directly, had specifically asked about ETA vs. Sellita.
Why lie, especially about something so easily verifiable after the sale? I wouldn't have cared either way, but knowing that the company is not above being shady to make a quick buck really diminishes the brand.

DR.ZAPI know. This is the comment made me cancel the order. Come on... There was a very specific question asked.

heddI'm still happy with the purchase, but that's unquestionably shady. Plus the issue of another version being available before these even ship.

Eddy-Ginieafter swatch group bought out ETA, they slowly stopped sellin the ETA movement, but because the copyright being over, sellita basically copied the design, and started selling ebauches to microbands-bigger names. Inherently, you're getting the same thing but not the ETA name. With ETA, they have grades, so the higher grade = better (although not all the time, you'd need a watchmaker to literally look at the guts of the watch to see if any cleaning/work needs to be done). still gaining knowledge on sellita to see if they have grades as well or not.

Eddy-GinieThe SW300-1 in my Airman is as accurate as other movements in this price range. I am unconvinced the ETA is superior.

wchuttI did do research on this and it appears that Sellita movements are slightly better. They have a more consistent rate. Sellita added an extra jewel to avoid friction also.
