Yesterday got my Alpha watch with an ST16 movements and problems started to appear as soon as it started working. * 1 When setting time, movement hacks as expected but as soon as I set it seconds hand jumps like 4 seconds * 2 If I shake it, seconds hand just stops for a brief of time and after it starts working again and if I start looking at it I can see it starts gaining time. In about 2 hours it is like 7 seconds faster (so in a day over a minute) I thought Seagull's ST16 was the best chinese 21 jewels movement around but after this experience .... Does this all happens to all ST16 movements or did I get a really shitty lemon? Should I try to exchange it or does this happen to all ST16 movements? Thanks for the assistance.

So you think there are different classes of movements from same manufacturer? As for the design, yes I find it quite appealing .

Not a replica but I have found this apparently chinese chrono being posted around Watchuseek. What do you think of it? More photos can be found at original post. I think I like it but don't know if it is worth the 350 EUR asking price, what do you say?

Greetings, I am looking for a GMT movement to be installed in a replica I have. Any Chinese reliable automatic GMT movement you may recommend? I was looking for something at least as reliable as Seagull ST16. Thanx

Many thanks for the help. I presume his movements to be real ETA ones?

Greetings, Can someone help me out and tell me where can I find a unbranded ETA 2824 submariner? It is something like this but without any brand. Any links to ebay or a website would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance .

It is about 65 USD per piece.

But quality wise do you think Hangzhou is a good mechanism ?

Greetings, I have found this movement, Hangzhou 6300 movement which seems to be an ETA 2824 clone. Does anyone have experience wearing one, or a replica using it? If so what is the general impression? and link to website Hangzhou 6300 Thanks in advance
