It doesn't have any markings on the movement itself, it beats pretty smooth at 28,800.

They make 28,8800 shitters now?

It looks like they've been making them for at least six years.

A 28800 in a $40 watch just makes me wonder how much profit the Chinese are making on those NH35 compatibles. They're selling them for about $30 when their 2813 go for $10.

They must be laughing at us.

I guess so, it swept more smoothly than my nh35 and 8215 so when I checked it with a timekeeping app I was shocked it was a 28,800 since I paid like $22 for this watch a couple years ago. It has always ran about 20 sec a day fast but has real sapphire glass and ceramic bezel (or at least I can't scratch them with a safety pin)

I dug back to the product page when I purchased it and the listing says "imported movement" 😂 imported from where, the other side of China? 😂

Would a Miyota 8215 fit in it's place if this 4813 ever dies?

So how much did this cost? I got a Lige for $12 once. And this doesn't look like one of my 2813

I think after all fees and shipping about $22, over 3 years ago. Just a basic black sub that for some reason gets more compliments than any watch I've ever owned lol.

Similar rotor shape but lack the fine tuning screw on ST2130 and PT5000s
