In May of 2022 I ordered 4 movements on EBAY that were advertised as a PT5000 but I had my doubts. They had no markings on them. Three worked fine, but one had an issue, we fixed ( loose piece). Generally, the movements have been working well ..... so far.
I asked the seller why his movements don't show the stamped PT5000 markings but he gave some silly excuse and insisted they were genuine.
Today I looked at his listings and now the movements are showing the PT5000 on the movement, but clearly etched and not stamped. Clearly fake.
Does anyone have insight on where to actually purchase genuine PT5000. I have not seen anything on the Tube about the PT5000 being disassembled and cleaned to determine it's quality.
