I may have to name it after my dealer because I don't think it's the movement I paid for.

I ordered a V2 "H Factory" SOSF. I thought they were all Asian 2836-2, but I guess I was wrong. It is superlumed, but the movement feels kind of cheap.

Its hard to believe that noone dealer knows of this movement going in to these watches as a eta clone which clearly it isnt...i thought there were dealers that work hand and hand with some of these factories are we too believe it just slipped throught the cracks without anyone knowing or are we being bamboozled..im not jumping the gun but it definitely makes you wonder!!! Time for some clarity from our TD's i think...

Looks like a movement tab or some such thing left side of the rotor.

the dealers should and more than likely do know which is why the price dropped 60-80bucks on a v2 SOSF and "new breed" pops up on Toro's site but still he has it listed as a 2836 movement...

Doc, it IS asian clone, just without ETA stamps.
ST-2130 is a clone of ETA 2824-2, and ST-2100 is a clone of ETA 2836-2.
So, you got, what you paid for.
No, it's not Hangzhou, they only make gold plated clones.

Does the date jump at 12 or it slowly changes? If it's the clone that looks like the 2836 but it's not, the date will not jump.

The date changes over a 25 minute period.

To be fair, the dealer and I did not discuss movements. I assumed. He's replied and said the V2 SOSF is available in this movement and the "Swiss" ETA only.

nice watch, just mind that tube as they are prone to coming loose and are likely an entry point for water. I JB welded mine in and its tighter than a nun

Obviously we dont watches that dont work correctly, if they are nstalling these on rolex reps it seems it would be a real problem..i bought a exp ii in m2m advertised as an 2836 anyway i got and the date change at midnight never happened it always get stuck and sometimes it actually reversed back to the same date even though it was half way to the new date.. Manually the date worked fine.. So it might be fine for some reps and not for others..
