frankt Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 This powers an ExII I recently acquired... It looks nothing like the Chinese GMT movements in my Seamaster GMT, or my Vintage GMT Master from TTK... Oddly the elliptical setup on the winding gear serves to disengage the gear when turning backwards, and the screw securing it has left hand threads..(which I found out the hard way!!..LOL) Anybody know what this is...????

alligoat Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 It's another Chinese movement. I would figure we can rule out Seagull and PTS Resources (w/ the WO symbol under the balance as seen in the DG2813). I would say it's not even a Miyota copy, it has a left handed balance bridge instead of the RH one on the Miyota copies. Any identifying marks on it? One of my early reps said ABC Watch Co., China!

frankt Posted July 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 No markings anywhere I can see...BTW...the movement beats at 5/sec..(18000 bph), and the GMT hand sets independently by turning the crown in the opposite direction in the date change position...The hand stack is with the GMT hand closest to the dial... The movement keeps excellent time, and the GMT hand functions flawlessly, making just one sweep per 24 hrs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWG Technical Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 It's definetly the type you don't want anything to go wrong on...since you can't get parts to fix it. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slay Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 well, its the type of movement where a brand new one costs maybe 1% of the costs to service it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
