Redemskis 6 Posted October 9, 2019 Good morning I have a Omega seamaster 300 spectre I got from a friend, unfortunately he can't find any information as to who he got it from and doesn't know what factory it is, I'm hoping it's a Mary as the movement does look identical but I'm happy to be told otherwise Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flinnt 2,009 Posted October 10, 2019 VSF 8400 clone movement I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FudgyDocker 3,425 Posted October 10, 2019 They're usually based on A2824 movements, but don't quote me on that. By the way, WTF is a Mary? No factory I've ever heard of! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flinnt 2,009 Posted October 10, 2019 I’m pretty sure it’s the VSF clone movement which although uses a few parts from a 2824, it isn’t a 2824 with decoration plates like many reps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not sure, I just think so as it’s so similar to my VSF 8500 Aqua Terra movement. I don’t have the Spectre yet (but maybe next purchase). It looks different to the MKF one which I think is decorated 2824. And pretty sure it’s not the 2813 ones available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VSF clone for sure, that's the only movement with a correct balance wheel position. Set the time if you have any doubts - VSF is the only rep of 8400 which features a jumping hour hand.

GenTLe 1,485 Posted October 10, 2019 I also think it's a VSF one because the top plate is not fake (the jewels have the gears shafts in them). The others have fake plates with empty jewels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enthusiast88 3 Posted October 10, 2019 I don’t think its the vsf clone movement because the balance wheel is not black Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
