So I got an email from Jomashop for a sale on Uboat watches. Not wanting to really spend any big money right now I opted for model 343 an automatic 3 hander that I got for less than $600 shipped.

Ok my question, what movement do you think is in this thing? I'm thinking Sellitta, but the description says 25 jewel 28800 bph not 26?
It ain't an ETA because another model clearly stated that and they wanted
300 more for the watch.

My google search has found nothing. Thanks for the help, here is a shot of the back.

I recognized the Miyota design at once. But very different from the advanced 9015.
No ball bearing on this rotor and the bridges don't have the "côtes de Genève" decorations like the 9015.
Some people say it's the Miyota 550: Couldn't verify...
