Hangzhou 6311 Asian Clone of ETA 2836

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I thought this may be of use to peeps trying to decide whether they have a gen ETA or a clone, so before sending off to Kenny for a transplant, thought I would post some pics of the Hangzhou I just got. This one has not been stamped up as an ETA. I didn't want to take it out of the case, as I'd probably somehow manage to destroy it ;)

 

If you want to go fullsize, just keep clicking the pics to go to photobucket.

Hope this helps someone :)

That looks like a clone of the 2834-2 seeing as it has the day wheel too.

I'm a bit fuzzy when it comes to movements, as I am still new to this. I have seen 2836 movements with a date wheel, is there a difference?

They are pretty much the same, the 2834-2 shares around 90% of the same parts.

Thanks SSTEEL for that - it's helping my understanding of watches. I'm hoping to pick up a non-runner of any sort of swiss/clone to see what I can learn. I wouldn't have known the difference between those two looking at the picture, if they're that similar, that is an impressive skill :)

Looks like a great movement, where did you buy it?

 

At this point I'm trying as much different movements as possible. I am creating an excel lists with alternative movements to the ETA ones I can recommend people to buy and use in case of a dead movement. Sometimes it's cheaper to swap a movement then servicing ;)

It seems to be nice and clean, so am hoping it will be nice and accurate! It was an ebay special, seller religiopassion I think - they actually make a Black Bay Homage watch as well which I found on their website :giggle:
