llsteve80 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Searching like crazy here, and I can't find any kind of definitive answer as to what the DW mystery movement was/is. Is it a copy V23 with frozen 6:00 subdial? Its good to know for future options, as I may be able to get my hands on one with said movement for what I think is an awesome price. The movement isn't what has stopped/slowed me down on pulling the trigger, its the timing. Only reason I want to know about the movement is because I like to know what I have.

Guest avitt Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 The DW MM is a crappy Asian approximation of the VJ23. If you are going to buy one, you might as well buy three, because it generally takes the parts from 3 movements to keep 1 running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 It is still a mystery. I have at least 4 of them torn down as spare parts, and 2 more assembled. I have yet to figure out what it is, certainly nothing I can point to in the Bestfit manual... RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 I suspect you might be better served with the "Worstfit" Manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azgjav Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 lol. could it be a russian movement originating from a pocket watch? i've seen some w similar looking movements at the back, similar bridges.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llsteve80 Posted November 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 what a mystery indeed. You would think there had to be some watch that it was made for besides reps. Maybe one of those junk, overpriced watches you see on ebay with a supposed MSRP of 1,000's? Whatever it was it must have been short lived.
