Known issues in the market
Caseback shows a larger movement than appropriate for the 29mm case; the movement has been replaced with a non-specified caliber.
Crown is stiff or binds; ETA 2895 winding mechanism in the small case is delicate and susceptible to dust ingress.
Leather strap hardware shows corrosion; the small buckle is often plated rather than solid and corrodes with sweat exposure.
