redwatch Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Ok folks....I am going to propose a little game. Some of you may have seen the thread about my new watch that I got for my birthday a few weeks ago. I got a Stølås Harbormaster Spinnaker which you can check out here Whatever123 had asked what kind of movement the watch has in it. The website only says its a 25 jewel movement. So here is the game: First member to guess correctly the brand and type of movement, and who is not a supporting member, will get a free VIP membership for 1 year paid for by me. If a VIP member is the first who guesses correctly, then I will upgrade them to a Platinum membership for 1 year. If you are a Platinum member already, you will get my utmost respect and adoration This will be based on post order. If there is two posts back to back that are both correct, the first one in the line will win. I have not opened the caseback yet. I will let this run for one day and then check out the watch tomorrow morning. I don't want to spoil the surprise GAME ON!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever123 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 It's a ETA 2824 clone movement... so it's a rep movement, lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever123 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Oh, by the way - I am completely satisfied with your respect and adoration (*g*), no need to upgrade me! Edit: Oh, it is stated on the Stolas website... just a little bit hidden. It's linked in the blog I posted above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vafarmer70 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Shanghai Movement running at 28,800bph. A couple other watch makers use this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 ETA 2824-2 or ETA 2836-2 those are the only two 25 jewels that come to mind. Miyotas don't come in 25 jewels and Seagulls with 25 jewels exist but they are rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever123 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 2824-2 clone movement @ 28,800bph... I hope they service them before they put them in the watches... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 it could also be the Soprod A-10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z80 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'll say a Seagull TY2130. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txcollector Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'll say a Seagull TY2130. I thought the ST21 was a 21j, not 25j. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Eleven Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 It's Selita SW200 movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z80 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I thought the ST21 was a 21j, not 25j. It thought the TY2130 was the direct clone of the 2824-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 It thought the TY2130 was the direct clone of the 2824-2. The clone thing is a weird concept. The ST21 has 21j and the 2824-2 has 25j. It's not a 1:1 copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vafarmer70 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Gum and toothpicks... I would imagine Dave, that servicing costs on this would be quite reasonable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 It's Selita SW200 movement. Forgot about the Sellitas but isn't that a 26j? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex2009 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I think its Sellita 220 ... so a 2836-2 clone Regards Lex2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h2000 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Shanghai Movement running at 28,800bph. A couple other watch makers use this as well. I concur! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgking Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I agree, at that price point it must be either a Seagul or another Shanghai movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
