my oldest 3602 so far (I think!)
a slender Sekonda open faced watch with a crack in the crystal.....
otherwise in good condition and running well.
neither SU or RU on the movement, but ther is a clock face icon.... not a clue what that means!
£12.50 inc post.

well, on a scale of some to a whole lot, how cool is this?
its a chinese made gold coloured skeleton movement in a silver peek-a-boo case with a perforated lid. is it a hunter with a cut lid or an irregular half hunter....?
not a cue, but I love how it looks!!
how many million of these movements are there out there?
a LOT!! and for £6 including post from China, how can they POSSIBLY do this and make a profit?
OK, there may be low pay in the factory, but lets not get into all that malarkey. Its a nice watch!!

sekonda train incoming!!
ebay provides once again.....
a pristine sekonda pocket watch with a 3602 movement and the locomotive design on the back of the case.
all very nice for £14 inc post.
BUT
there is a bonus!
a Smiths yachting timer stopwatch.
now to be fair it has seen better days, the loop is missing, the winder comes out and the balance wheel seems to be off it's axis, but MAYBE it will be fixable.... anyway, in MY eyes it was free so I aint comnplaining!!!!

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!
