Anybody use any of the eta 2824 China clones from cousinsuk?

Here is the I think Sea-gull ST2130: (Or possibly the Hangzhou 6300) ? on cousins, I think it's the sea-gull but their reference numbers are

so obscure on that site it's hard to know. My question is anybody use these in place of either the rep eta or clones without issues?....I assume

it is a straight swap without any surprises? ETA are too bloody expensive lately these seem to be a better option for dead or dying 2824? All the Ligne numbers etc are equal.

Anybody ever try the ST1801 (2892-2 clone)?

Cheers guys, no problems chou, just handy to know of an alternate source for future reps etc...I've bought and replaced standard swiss eta in reps before but never dealt with these clones directly from parts suppliers rather than from our dealers. They seem to get good feedback. The 2892 clone is also interesting. Swiss parts are getting too dear directly from suppliers like ofrei and cousinsuk these days.

I used an St2130 in one of my 1016 builds, before it was replaced by an older, slower-beating 2472. The Seagull was completely trouble free and boring. It's now powering my DJ franken.

I'm looking at using an ST2130 in a DJ and wondered if the hand pins are going to be tall enough since the ETA 2824 are too short without having them changed to a taller set. Particularly a problem on a stick dial.

A little bend (invisible except from the most extreme angles) should give the minute hand enough clearance over the metal blocks.

That's what I was afraid of. I took out a similar movement because I didn't like it although that doesn't look bad at all. I wish there was a way to find out what the standard height are on the clone wheels.
