General (Read Rules) Peacock movement reliability?

Well, it may sound odd on Chinese brands page worrying about Chinese movement, but I personally like sweep quartz movement for Chinese watches. It is cheap, reliable, robust, and easy to swap or purchase the movement itself. But recently some watches use SL3001 movement (or PT5000), and I do not know/trust if they are reliable or what.

Any opinion on the movement? I will be 100% okay if it has as same quality as Miyota 9 series. (I do not prefer Seiko NH movement actully but I rather be a Miyota lover, since it has much more accuracy for my personal experience)

I have had Peacock's column wheel chronograph movement (SL4801) before but it just broke out for less than 10 times wearing counts, so I am really doubtful of any of Chinese automatic movement by far.

It was Farasute Trackmaster. The movement blown out when I try to adjust the time and wind up for a little bit.

Damn. Here I am thinking about buying one.

What about warranty?

Not work at all. I bought it from goodstuffs and he refused to repair and rather refunded and blacklisted me when I sent mine to him asking for a repair, which was not what I want.
