It's a replica... Pretty bad movement. Look below balance wheel. 1 screw missing :lol:

Someone should report this.

Frechheit!

They could even fit Panerai on it...the "I" ran off.

It's a hybrid Asian/Swiss mov't, mainplate is Swiss and that's about "as Swiss as it gets".

We've dissected this particular mov't here and on RWG quite extensively, it's basically not bad, but hardly worth over $100, IMO.
