CptTripps Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptTripps Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I don't have it with me, but these are from another thread. It's the shinny one on the right. From another thread: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 That is a Sea-Gull 2824 clone. Easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I originally thought it looked like a Seagul movement of some sorts.

Jkay Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 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.

Jkay Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Lastly, I know it's a Sea-Gull movement because they sell these pearled 2824 clones, famously. It's in their product line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
