Are there fake old midos out there? Is this one?

[Johndub]

Hello all again, 

Got this old mido in a cheap job lot. I'm not familiar with the brand at all, wondering if its real or not? Did they fake this kind of thing? They don't seem to be particularly fancy watches, but i assume there's fake everything in the world. There's no "swiss made" or similar on the dial, no logo on the crown, but there is on the bracelet, and the movement is not signed and is held in with a plastic movement ring. 

Just curious if anyone more knowledgeable than I could tell me definitively. Not looking to sell it, will be just another watch for me to practice working on 

Thanks 

John

It be nice to see the back of the case if you look up the name on the dial and look at other examples they do say Swiss on the dial and the case back indicates who made the watch. Yet watch looks like a Chinese automatic I would be extremely suspicious that is probably not Swiss.

I think I'd go for fake on this one.

A bit of googling suggests that it should have "Swiss Made" on the dial, and that the movements should be Mido signed versions of either ETA or AS movements depending on whether or not chronometer grade.

Mido is a member of swatch group, even had some AS or ETA  movements specially made for it.

Just from the finish it doesn't appear up to Mido's standards, look for the caliber, Mido signs at least twice.

Thanks for the responses folks. Pretty much as i suspected, but good to have others' opinions

And, although there are Chinese movements comparable with the ETA 28xx series, that is not one of them. 
 

Dial feet are in different positions. 
 

A very cheaply made movement unfortunately but an overhaul may extend its life a bit.
