I ordered a couple of watches, and purchased Swiss movements in them. One looked fine. This is the movement that was in the other.

I'm thinking this isn't a Swiss ETA clone. Can I get a second opinion?

Looks like a Seagul, SW200 clone, and has the ETA style dial feet holders, but to be sure, do you have a photo of the area near the main spring?  Need to check the stamping on the movement. (if any)

Still difficult to tell for sure, but its looking like an ETA of sorts, but we near a clear photo of the 2 oclock area of this photo..

A couple of quick tells here, guys: it's pearled. If you think you'll get an elabore grade Swiss ETA in a rep, I have a bridge to sell you, in Brooklyn. <br /><br />The second tell is the balance staff shock spring mount. It only has one spring release notch. This is a Chinese invention and is called the "simple block". The Swiss use a mounting block with three spring release notches.

Lastly, I know it's a Sea-Gull movement because they sell these pearled 2824 clones, famously. It's in their product line.
