About this product

This is a 17-jewel manual-wind movement offered as a replacement for the ETA 6497 pattern, which makes it a repair part rather than an upgrade: it only works if the diameter, height, stem height, crown position and the small-seconds position match your case, and those figures are not printed on this page. It is not an ETA product, and the listing does not say whether a stem, crown or case screws come in the box, so confirm both before buying — a movement that arrives without a stem is a second order away from a finished repair.

Pros & cons

Pros


  • 17 jewels at this price is a workable base for a 6497-pattern repair, not a display piece
  • Sold as a standalone movement, so you are not paying for a case or dial you will not use
  • 589 sold at 98.0% positive — enough orders that fitting problems would already show up in reviews

Cons


  • Key fitting dimensions (diameter, height, stem height, small-seconds position) are not listed
  • Not an ETA part, and the listing does not say whether stem, crown or case screws are included
