If your watch is original from Swiss, there are some letters engraved on the movement, usually including the following:
1, Movement manufacturer(for example: ETA)
2, Movement model(for example: 2824-2)
3, Patented marks
4, Movement JEWELS(for example: 25 JEWELS)
5, Production country(SWISS)
6, Particular marks engraved by this watch factory
7, Some famous brand watches also have reference number
8, “Geneva” letters on the movement
9, Certification marks
10, Watch’s brand name(usually engraved on the rotor)
Generally speaking, the watch is more complex and expensive, the more marks on the movement. However, most of replica watches can not achieve this.
Some replica watches also have letters engraved on the rotor, but the font size and colour are different from the original’s, it is easy to identify.
As we know, many brands are using ETA movement, so, it is difficult to identify a replica watch by just checking the movement model. However, different watch factories have their own identity engraved on the movement, for example, ENICAR will mark “AR” and TITONI watch have “PH” word.
