Help identify this Tudor movement

[Ramone50000]

I found this movement in my drawer and don't remember where I got it from or why. Can anyone help identify it for me? I gave it a wind and it runs so I'm hoping I can use it for a potential franken build depending on which movement it's for.

I can't get a clear shot of the numbers under the wheel but I'll try again and post them - I'm sure those numbers would help.

Looks like a 2452.

Thanks for the ID mate. It does look like a 2452 - I see a 2x5x under the wheel (can't make the other 2 digits). Any idea if it's just an ETA with a Tudor rotor or a gen Tudor movement?

Cheers!

I don't believe this is a genuine Tudor movement but, like you said, an ETA 2452 with a Tudor rotor. The tells:
- The engraving on the autowinding bridge is no like any Tudor engravings I've seen. Typically these are a different font and gold/yellow filled
- The area above "PATENTED" on the dial side should have "MONTRES TUDOR"
- No hooked 7's on the date disc
- Tudor uses KIF shock system in this era watch - either elastor or flector

Is the seconds pinion bent ?

hanski thank you for the help in identifying the movement mate!

Raddave I had to search what a seconds pinion is lol. But yeah it does look like it in the photos. I'll check the movement itself. Hope it's fixable.

Now to figure out what Tudor build the movement can be used for.

Cheers!

The 2452 is the basis for a 2462. This could be used for a 7021 build (while 2484 is correct, the calibers are VERY similar). You could also do a Prince Oysterdate like a 7966 or 7996.

Clean and fix it up and you've got the basis for a good build!
