jay gatch 0 Posted September 15, 2022 Hi All. I received an 'Asian 2824-2' but upon checking with online images, it doesn't look like one (to my untrained eyes). It also did not come with the date wheel. May I request your guidance/advise if this is indeed an Asian '2824-2' or some other movement? Thank you in advance.

GenTLe 1,509 Posted September 15, 2022 Definitively not an A2824, but also you have probably paid that crap around 25/30$ right? That one is something that probably has only the size of a 2824. An A2824 costs at the very minimum ~55/60$... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just got hit for around $40, unfortunately Yup, I compared the size to an ETA 2824-2 and they were almost the same size. Oh well, lesson learned. Thanks for your insights.

When you wind them it feels like there is sand in the movement. It's as if the gear teeth are sheared with every winding action Would you know what movement this is a clone of? Thanks.

They are "fake Seagull ST2130" meaning they are piss-poor movements that kind of mimic the shape of the ST2130. It's like: Gen Rolex Daytona -> ETA 2824 / Sellita SW200 Clean Factory Daytona -> Seagull ST2130 or PT5000 (note the PT5000 is a 2824 clone produced by HK technologies and it's the 1st chinese movement to get the Chronometric certification!) Naples 50€ Daytona with constantly running center second hand and days/months instead of the subdials -> that movement you bought Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
