Asian or Swiss ETA 2824?

[Hville]

Which one is this, and how can you tell the difference visually?

asian.

Easy, I think Swiss watch movements have "twenty-five" jewels not "tweny-five"

Clone. An oooold one.

Haha @ "tweny" that's awesome! I honestly did not notice that b4 :-/
Aside from that, what else to look for? I figured there are some general indicators...

 

[Luthier]

Nope. You'll feel difference, if you'll wind up ETA and clone. ETA is smoother.

thats a sticker that can be glued to an asian or an ETA

But generally a very good one!

Do they make this anymore? I had one of these in a PO it was a demon. 45 houts power reserve, +2s per day. Lasted 5 years no service.

Bear in mind the 'tweny' has been updated to the proper spelling

ETA already has proper engraving.

The engraving on swiss is deeper and sharp.
according to many users, asian clone is reliable and worth the price

Fully agree! :thumbsup:

This one runs like a beast too, no complaints for sure. It's +2sec/day and has about 48 hours power reserve. Just wondered if there were visual cues (aside from "tweny") :-D

Cutaway on the right side of the number should be curved. On your mov't it's flat. So, it's pre-2011 clone.
