Hello, i've got two questions:
I am wondering why many factories use the asian 2836-2 movement in date only watches like submariners, why not use 2824-2 instead?
the 99,8% of watches I see with 2836-2 movement are day-date watches.
The ETA 2836-2 is day-date movement and the 2824-2 is the date only version, it is a little thinner 4.6mm(2824-2) vs 5.05mm(2836-2) this mean you can't put 2824-2 movement inside 2836 case because the stem height is different, and maybe other reasons i'm not aware.

How i can tell the difference from 2836-2 and 2824-2 clone, two of my reps (one has 10 years!) don't have stamped/printed movements, got them for "2836-2" but at this point I am not sure what of what i have, should i take off the movement and measure the height? is there any other way to tell what clone it is?
thanks
