[docdoowop]

Guys,

What kind of movement is this?

Clone

ive copied your pic below, see this bit circled in red...on the clones its a straight edge, on gen eta its curved...yours is curved, so id say its an unfinished eta...or atleast some parts are swiss and some are asian clone...ive seen a few with mis-matched swiss/clone parts. also has etachoc as found on the lower grade eta movements...odd to have no markings though, unless it was totally unfinished without markings either...could be a sellita movement too i guess, which may explain no eta stamp...

That only works for telling a certain clone, made by the Nanning Watch Factory. Not all clones. This is most certainly a clone, though.

This is 100% asain clone. I have never seen a Swiss ETA without a stamp.

Me neither and I have seen a lot of 24xx, 27xx, 28xx.

 

It looks like an 'unsigned' clone aka 'rawclone'.

I would like to get some of these, they have great engraving possibilities!

Actually Justin,

 

the member I bought this watch from says YOU installed this movement..

 

Could you confirm?

 

PM me if you wish this to be private.

Aside from the + and - stampings for the course adjustment screw

and the base itself not being branded, what are the indications that this is a clone ?

(sincere question...I don't know much regarding mvts and/or their indentification. )

Most indicitave (aside from the lack of stamps) is the shape of the shock jewel spring retainer. Should have three grooves. Clone only has one like pictured.
