Your right, the GV2's that are on auction are mostly with the Claro CL888, movement,
date at 4-5 position
Not always the case. I have purchased a number of GV2's on eBay and all have been ETA 2836-2 or SW 200 movements and have never paid more than $500. Sammy has a lot of variations on the stadium design and what is available on the secondary market is whatever he is clearing out or what a dealer has had in stock for a little too long. Gevril is a fully Swiss made product or as Tim Temple says "Pure Swiss" so the CL888 movements used are not the Asian version. Gevril always puts out a quality product, believe me I know, I have over 25 of them and would not worry about getting the CL 888 in one of my next purchases since it, just happens to be a George J. Von Berg product.
