bamcky2k Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) 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.

Watchmeister Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 This is 100% asain clone. I have never seen a Swiss ETA without a stamp. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 "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'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I would like to get some of these, they have great engraving possibilities! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

correctime Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 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. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
