Hey guys can anyone chime in and tell me what kind of movement this is?

The base movement is a Seagull ST16.

The movement with the red wheel is a basic Miyota clone, could be made by Nanning, DG etc.

The Seagull ST16 is probably at the top of the '21 jewel' pecking order.  It is also the base movement for the 'swiss made' Claro-Seamag CL-888.

On this forum, yes, it is a generic term.  There are many swiss and japan made 21 jewel movements though.

 But it's agreed that these are both Asian? That's what they were  bought as.  Thanks guys.
