Wbk describes the movement in his as "Asian", which we know is a euphemism for underground Chinese. The miyota movement is Japanese and totally "legit."

Date wheel is more accurate on stand though. It's reversed on Pt's version.

I doubt there is a modified Miyota movement. Puretime has pictures of the movement on his web site and references it as a modified Miyota and it looks identical to the movement and decoration of the movement pictures on Trusty sites and Trusty calls it an Asian 2836. The WBk movement is different from the Puetime and Trusty movement and looks rather unadorned with no "Cartier" decorations. So looks like there at last 2 movements......and counting......

Intime/Puretime's version has a much more gen-like bezel insert and has a Miyota movement. However, the date wheel is going in the wrong direction and it's 21k beats versus 28k in the gen and WBK version. There is also the significant difference in price. The WBK version looks like it has a modified 21 J Asian movement, 28k beats. The best version for now would be the WBK version with a Puretime/Intime bezel insert (strictly regarding appearance only).

Thanks for the lengthy reply bro, it was my fault I got too excited I thought they changed the datewheel. :(
