JohnDorian Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I'm inclined to believe it is from the drilled gears and the 3 things near the jewel shock absorber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailboss Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Mate, TBH it is geting so hard to tell now days you allmost have to hold the thing in your hand and have a real close look at the fit and finish. Some of the clones are now cosmeticly perfect so it's down to a few small finish items. Have a look at THIS thread on WUS for an idea of what to look for regards fit and finish. The stampings near the reg and balence wheel are a good tell on some as the stampings (model#, ETA branding etc) are perfect on the gen and can be rough on the clone. Col.

ETA deciding not to sell to anyone except SWATCH Group companies is slitting their own throats. The Chinese will rush to fill the need for quality movements, and that's that.
