So a friendly assistant on a forum has identified the movement in the Sutus as a Chinese Standard watch movement.

be careful googling it, as the Chinese watch industry Wiki sends my malware blocker into overdrive........

as to the watch?

cool. I'm not xenophobic and so long as it works, I don't care where it came from.

in fact I have ordered another cChinese skeleton watch from ebay which looks to have the same movement.

pics will follow when it arrives, obviously!
