Help me identify this movement?

[RqThrottle]

Can someone tell me with certainty looking at this picture whether this is swiss or CN movement? I won't tell you my guess, so as not to influence yours. I must say I am 99% sure of its pedigree, but I just need to be 100%.

Thanks.

100% CN Movt.

CN movement... one of the tell tale is the Balance wheel shape.

Thanks guys. The balance wheel shape was the method I used to id it and just needed confirmation. Information is power!

The balance wheel shape???

Do you guys mean the balance wheel spokes?

In the pic above I see spokes curves out. So I guess the swiss version has straight spokes?

 

[takashi]

That's right... CN used curvy spoke.

Correct. Also, the balance wheel is smaller than on the swiss version. Finally the swiss version has "swiss seventeen 17 jewels" stamped on the plates curving along the edge.

Helps to know all this if your ever buying... The watch sporting the mvt on the picture was represented as swiss to me.

100% genuine c6497-2 On this particular you can spot many flaws and call it out.

Check this one out... looks better but still a copy. If the balance wheel "spokes" were correct it would be difficult to tell without removing it from the case
