Asian or Swiss ETA 2836-2 ?

[Bart Cordell]

Hello !

I'm an happy new owner of a nice RolexAddict 1675 bought m2m on this forum few days ago.

In order to remove previous owner fingers prints inside plexi, I dismounted the watch. I was surprised to find this movement and I wonder if it's gen or clone.

I have read How to tell"Swiss"or "Asian" thread on RWI, but I can't say for sure if it's Swiss.

Some opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks !

I'd figure Swiss, but don't know how old it is. Titoni watches are still around, but Rotomatic just sounds old to me- maybe 90s.

Screws look kind of boogered up indicating age- but with a service, these old etas can do just fine. I have a 2836-1 in one of my watches and it's going strong after a recent service. I figure that movement is from the 1980s.

Thanks alligoat!

Think it's Swiss too.

Nice discovery, I was thinking it was an ETA clone when I bought It.

It's a bit more vintage
