the_rymeister Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hi guys I'm looking at buying this movement and was wondering if anyone could tell me if it was genuine Swiss eta 2824-2 or if it was a clone. These are the only pictures I have From the seller. probably cost me $80 usd delivered from hong kong to uk. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

redwatch Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I don't believe that it is. The shock absorber mounted above the balance looks wrong to me. It is an Incabloc Shock system. The 2824 should have a Novodiac Shock system which has three points on it. Here is a close up of yours: This is what it should look like. Also take note of the timing regulator. There is a small slot screw between a fork that you turn to adjust the speed of the watch. Your movement just has a needle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Looks perfectly genuine to me, offcourse it isnt a new movement . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilFree Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I have to agree with redwatch that the movement doesn't look genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 It's an older gen. My mid sized Tugaris below has the same movement. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of the movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Ditto it is an older Gen pre y and excenter adjustment adjuster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rymeister Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Cheers for the response and great knowledge guys, would you say this would be better than the 2824 movement which would have come with my upo rep? if so I will purchase it as its fairly cheap Cheers Ry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rymeister Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Ditto it is an older Gen pre y and excenter adjustment adjuster Hi buddy what is pre y? I'm guessing this is it's yeah of production maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hi buddy what is pre y? I'm guessing this is it's yeah of production maybe? No I am referring to the y shaped arm that connects the fine adjustment arm to the eccentric screw, +- screw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Be aware that an old movement even if brand new ols stock will more than likely require a service before it will perform to its best due to the old oils deterioating and becoming gummy reducing movement of all the moving parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolexman Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 100% gen ETA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 All gen., older but Gen. As FxrAndy said it will require service to get the best performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Wow- just to show how hard it is to tell gen vs. rep mov'ts. The shock absorber ring theory doesn't always hold up. One dealer @ RepGeek gave up trying to decide among the newer rep mov'ts- unless you tear them apart, you can't be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Wow- just to show how hard it is to tell gen vs. rep mov'ts. The shock absorber ring theory doesn't always hold up. One dealer @ RepGeek gave up trying to decide among the newer rep mov'ts- unless you tear them apart, you can't be sure. With this older type shock spring, the "3 notch rule" never applied. Only the Novodiac spring has 3 notches. Older Incabloc (this version (in original post) was introduced in 1997) have the tabbed spring shown in the original post.
