So if you are in the US. Is it "better"/"safer" to order from a dealer/fellow member in the US?

I have made a purchase from Sead on Friday and another from Sylar.

The other question I really have which I am sure has be answered a million times is is it worth the extra money to get an ETA movement or is the Asian movement just as dependable. ( I'm sure I will get a ton of Ford Vs Chevy answers here ... )

Thanks and I am glad to be part of your community!

Eh brah! My collection of over 100 pieces are mostly Asian 21J movements. Some are over 7 years old and none of them have given me any troubles. I guess I prefer the asian ones right now due to price and reliability. I am not that much into 1 to 1 reps vs gens as others here are. It all depends on what you are looking for and how much you want to spend.

Mahalo nui loa!
