always were in a little doubt about 2824-2 Montblank movement... finally found a better companion for my mille metri original non calendar 2824-1 (21-1non calendar) with almost proper engravings

The original millemetri movement was an eta 2770 with modified cp for plexi dial

Here we go… not sure what to go with

The Monasteraki flea market in Athens was good to me! I haven’t had it apart yet but I’m pretty sure it’s an enamel dial.

The movement is an unsigned UT 6497, I think I’ll swap the hands and dial to a bronze 6498 movement and drop it into a bronze case. Maybe the welded lug 44mm if I can find one that will ship to the US.

Thank you very much! I checked my books. on the picture it is clear can see Eta 2700 series and in the text they mentioned they used for prototyping different variations of 2700 series. that could mean different "week day plus date or as 2770 no date versions or just date version".
but under the picture they mentioned it was 2824-1(could be Typo). on Perezcope it was mentioned, collectors claimed around 6 +_- prototypes were available including with tritium 0.6mm tubes, that I've never seen. Perezcope mentioned that on one of the watches is 2770. you also posted picture from Japanese magazine Milli Metri with eta 2824 movement that now in Richmond group museum. I have 2770 movement but with no engravings at all... looking for right rotor still... still would like to find originally engraved etarotor 2824-1, as on Japanese magazine you posted in another post. Thank you very much for reviving interest for this model

I spent a few months looking into this, finally confirming directly with alessandro. Genuine dials have different dial feet positions also, corresponding to eta 2770 series. After doing the donkeywork I emailed alessandro lol. Same overall dimensions, hands are interchangeable, dial feet different for both iir.

Spare strap. Khaki leather I died, buckle I made. Serial no 37.
