12 1/2”’ | Tuning Fork | Sweeping Seconds |

Remarks:

• Chinese tuning fork movement, very similar to the Bulova 214, but not a clone like the Slava 2937. No parts are interchangeable between Bulova and Tianjin. The external dimensions are also different. The biggest differences are the lateral arrangement of the crown (Bulova: in the case back) and the attachment of the dial with the usual lateral clamping screws (Bulova: nuts on the back)
