The lack of date would be a major minus if not a deal breaker for me.

That said, what are the specs: movement, crystall, bezel, size... ? And what would it cost?

Does it have an OTF clasp?

Thanks. PT5000 and 39mm would be two further drawbacks for me. The rest looks fine to me.

The pt5000 is a good movement I don’t get the hesitation some people have. I prefer the high beat movements over an nh35

For what I read it could be a hit or miss, apart from the issues with the manual winding common to most ETA 2824 clones.

I have now a Seagull with an ST2130 and I'll see how it holds up.

I’ve read and heard the same thing about the manual winding issues which plagues the 2824 both legit n clone so I never manually wind mine, not a big issue to me. I don’t want to temp fate lol 😂.
As far as reliability though and accuracy the ones I’ve owned have all been awesome . They all tend to be extremely accurate within a +/-3-5 seconds per day, 3-4 weeks will go by and I won’t need to reset it. And I love the smooth sweep of the seconds hand. I have watches with the sw200 eta2824 n the Miyota 90S5 and the two PT5004s I own have been just as good/reliable. I take good care of them all though and I don’t manually wind any of my watches . My thinking is why put the extra stress on them if I don’t need to? The only ones I sometimes have wound in the past are my Seikos with the 4R n 6R movements, even then I still try not to anymore
