Instead of scoffing that this $17 watch is inferior to a $17,000 rolex you should be marvelling at how amazing it is that it's been made for such a stunningly low price. It's not supposed to be a high-end marvel of horology. It's just a watch, and for what it is it's very impressive

Whereas someone like me, would buy all the needed tools and cleaners and lubricants etc. Buy the watch. Begin to very carefully take it apart... then realize I failed entirely to grasp beforehand what a monumental undertaking it is to even take it apart without catastrofically breaking it in the process. Then if I managed to take it apart, I would then realize I failed entirely to properly document the process of taking it apart so I would have NO CLUE how to put it back together again and ultimately it would be a pile of parts collecting dust. Yet another tribute to the pile of things I have failed at more times than I care to count.

Mate nice job. NO plastic! unlike my beloved Seiko. I would have liked to have seen more on the timegrapher and think you could have adjusted the beat error to get it sweet. Dare I say when you oiled the pallet the first leg of the escape took a major blob and when Ive done this I see it later on the timegraph results. For £17 its incredible though as to make that in the UK not even the minute wheel could be made for that price! Keep them coming pal this video will do very well.

While we all love to bash China and Aliexpress for cheap products, I think we should give due credit to Chinese manufacturing for producing this time piece and other products at such a cost that any one can buy , enjoy or smash these gadgets. One would agree that before China became a major producer of RC hobby products, that field was prohibitively expensive. Now almost every one who wants has some form of RC toy, high power led lights and very cheap fun toys and gadgets.

Very true but I do think their working conditions are probably pretty dire

Bought these just to practice disassemble a mechanical watch and later assembled it. Killed one, the other one never runs right to begin with, but I made it worse. And had some success on the third one. I mean if you'e interested in watch making, its a good start. From what I learned, I repaired my mom's wedding watch and she love it.

I tried messing around with it myself and ended up completely destroyed the watch unfortunately as I took it apart without any idea on how to put it back together.
