Identifying a movement

[Arnon]

Hi,

I am a new beginner and just starting. I have heard all the advise of starting with a well known movement - ETA, Seagull or others. 

I still couldn't help myself and got a cheap $15 watch from Eliexpress, which has, I suspect a Chinese standard movement in it.

However, the only Identification mark I can see is the "Tenstar" etching. No manufacturing marks no numbers.

Can anyone help identify it, or what is is based on, so I can find an assembly guide?

Best regards

the logical thing to do would be posting a clear picture of the movement. It's free and easy to help others to help you.

What you have appears to be it derived from, but is not a "standard Chinese", which only exist with manual widing and no calendar, just like Enicar had originally designed it in Switzerland. About it I've recently posted a walk-throughout

Chinese mov'ts do not have, or at least do not make available parts list, service guides, or spare parts. Sometime they don't even have and official designation. All you can do is to take pictures and use logic to figure out things. Be very careful in handling, due to their poor quality they are very easy to break.
