I've said it before, and I'll say it again... When the Chinese figure out how to put an actual functioning 12-Hour register on this movement, we in the collector community are going to have to be especially careful when looking at watches. This movement is close enough to both the Valjoux 72 and Lemania 2310/2320 [Omega c.321] that it could easily be modified to look like the real thing.
