Looking at the photo of the caseback, the diameter of the display window may not be large enough to see the edge of the movement where these are engraved, but it may be close... But it looks like a 2824, not a Miyota.

Edit: looking again, maybe it is big enough. Break out the magnifier... :)

One difference I've noticed is that the Miyota stems are noticeably thinner and feel more fragile compared to ETA and Sellita.

It's an ETA!

Magrette have sorted the error on the booklet . I now have the exact same booklet as I did before but with miyota crossed out and ETA 2824 written next to it by hand.

I found it highly amusing to be honest. Although I could have done that myself.
