How can I tell what movement this is?

Recommended Posts

I open up my Pumpkin PO I got from Oscar and I was trying to figure out the movement in it, but it is not marked.

 

What movement is this?

Yep,2813 then.They sometimes have different rotor styles,you have the Rolex..ish style rotor !

 

The DG version has a weird little logo like a circle with three prongs on the plate under the balance wheel.If it hasn't got the logo it will be a Nanning.They are basically the same and interchangeable.

But this is not an ETA clone then, right?

Yes they are a good movement.The quickset seems to be a bit fragile,you need to make sure that the hands are well away from the date changeover at midnight if you are setting it from the quickset.Basically don't set the date between say 10pm and 2am,thats good practice with any movement though.

Thanks I never actually knew that, though now I think about it makes perfect sense. Thanks
