Ok here is what I got back from TrustyTime
me:
Hello,
I am interested in this watch, however I see that in the pictures on your website it has the Asia 2836-2 movement even though you say that it has the new 8800 clone movement in it. I have included a picture that I took right off your website which clearly shows that it is the ETA clone.
Which movement is available?
Thanks,

That’s just a fake eta stamp there because the Factory uses the stocks to sell to external wholesalers out of China as eta copy clones
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. So are you telling me that this one does have the new clone movement?

Yes. It is a new Asia Clone 8800 movement made by the Factory side.
Aren't you guys concerned about the reliability of the new clone movement? How about spare parts if something get broken?
This is what worries me too which is why I haven't gotten any of the recent clone reps from VSF yet. Just how sturdy and robust is it I wonder...

Until we see a video we won't know if it is indeed a super clone.. Quite odd though.
It's not the new movement, regardless of what is written on trusty website...look at the balance wheel pic: not only it's golden colour but you even have stamped 2836-2!

I ordered it, but before I did, I asked about the bracelet and Andrew said that the bracelet is coming and it will be available to order at some point in the future. I did not ask how long.
I don't want to be a party pooper, but it looks like a language misunderstanding in that email. He's saying it is an ETA clone (They sell the movement base as an ETA clone) , it's being called an 8800 "clone" because it has the deco plates attached to it. This is not a super clone movement for sure - if it has jump hour functionality (which is impossible to say till he posts his video) , it will be because they did the same modification to it that they do for rolex GMT CHS models to add jump hour.
