Hi There appers to be a mark and number in the half moon just below the escape wheel jewel can to post a clearer picture of it please as its indistinct when blown up  it will be the makers mark and caliber.

it would've been really nice if they had photographed it with a size reference? Otherwise we can look in the bestfit book to see if anything matches the setting parts but I'm not going go through every single size guessing.

The other definite clue would be the balance protection system is not Incabloc?

I have had a look on the bestfit anbd nothing so far,  the shock system is reminicient of a duofix spring but not certain. the quality of the plates and finish , could be Russian,  Have a look ar Dr Ranfft and do a bit of prospecting.   Its difficult not knowing the size of the movement and no marks other than 2838 probably the cal number.

Hi  Judging from your pictures regarding the plates rtc  and the setting lever assy and the disassemby of the chinese 2813  I would say that the plates are indeed of chinese origin and the setting lever assy is of the same type so I suppose we may assume that they are from a  chinese 2838.   (ETA clone),  Information and tech sheets are all but non existant for the chinese  movements .   Nice detective work there   well done you

    • Thanks Mark. I think I’ll leave the beat error for now - it’s a fixed stud so I’d have to adjust the collet position.    The watch has bigger problems. On reassembly I’ve found that the hour counter reset hammer is broken - I didn’t do it, the main hammer part was just not there. Can’t easily identify a replacement part. And the subdial hands. The running seconds hand needs an extended pivot tube as the pivot is below dial level. Can’t find one of them either. I’ve found a central seconds hand that might fit it - going to have a go at cutting, filing and polishing it to make it work. 
    • Good morning. I have a Caliber 11DO 17 Jewel that I utterly destroyed practicing on. My question is this. Are the 17j and 7j compatible in relation to swapping out parts such as the Wheel Train and Balance? Thank you in advance. 
    • Ah ok thanks , i see thing differently now. Won't that catch the wheel rim though ?
    • No Mark it does not offend me. I think I have already started another thread on the matter before you replied. But since you are unwilling to discuss it with us, I will discontinue posting there.  Thank you for considering it though. That's a good policy to have H , you should always safeguard yourself. Knowing who you can trust and who you can't is not a permanent thing. People's values change, people change and adapt to their situations,thats just nature stepping in and running the show. Not everyone is as genuine as you are H. The new no advertising looks much better, it never bothered me much, but it still feels cleaner.  I'm pleased that your thread regarding the missing images was also returned, so thats good news as well. It appears a lot of mine have also been removed ...oh well...🤷‍♂️
