Olá. Uma pequena correção. O movimento do vídeo é um Hangzhou 9310, clone do clone do ETA 6497/98. Os movimentos Seagull série ST-36...usam dispositivos anti choque "Incabloc", são decorados e não possuem o rubi sintético em uma das extremidades do eixo do tambor da mola principal. Os Hangzhou 9310 tem acabamento mais espartano, usam os dispositivos anti-choque baseado nos antigos "diashock" da Seiko e possuem um rubi sintético numa das extremidades do eixo do tambor da mola principal (vantagem sobre o Seagull). Saudações e sucesso sempre.

It was not really high nor was it a big impact. When i took the watch i noticed it was not working anymore😢 i winded it, checked again but it didnt work.

It happened to me in the past that the watchmaker refused to repair similar movement, because the parts are not always compatible. So I started to dig the info, so I could tell apart Unitas from Seagull and Hangzhou. Hangzhou always has additional ruby/jewel under the dial, on ratchet wheel, manufacturer sells it as Hangzhou 9011A. Unfortunately, manufacturer does not specified lift angle on his web page. The one in your video and the one in my pocket watch are the same movements, and thanks to your videos I know its a pretty decent watch.

Definitely do not use a brush to the hair spring, especially in very old watches I have a bad experience with that. I don't even clean the balance in an ultra sonic cleaner.

Does it run more accurately after servicing? (Was it lubed properly by the factory when made?) Rather surprising the plates, bridges, and balance arm were not scroll engraved during manufacture to make it look like a higher end movement. The sub $20 Chinese skeleton pocket watches are scroll engraved. Surely it does not add much to the cost of making the movement. (I think those pocket warches wiseawrist watch movement with an over-size dial.Te movement requires a 5 plus mm plastic spacer to "fit" (note quotes) in the pocket watch case.

I mean this movement requires the pallet fork pivot/jewel to be oiled? Thank you for the beautiful video.
@tickingWATCH3 жыл бұрын
I'm really glad that you like it 😀. In general, you don't have to oil it because the force there is so small that oiling doesn't change anything and so it is written in watchmakers books but on the other hand, I saw in service manual from Seiko 7009A and also Miyota that you have to oil there (Moebius A extremely small). It seems that in Japan they have or another philosophy or the construction of its movements is different. My personal conclusion - lets oil but extremely small and rather avoid oiling in wristwatches movements with small pelets.

Mine works ok and keeps good time for three years now but when i wind it I hear a "click-slipping" sound which is very frustrating. Unfortunately I am no watchmaker... I KNOW what seems easy in the video is difficult in reality. Any idea about the problem? Maybe faulty winding pinion...I heard it's common on this movement. Seems like this one here is ok! Any advice is much appreciated. The least i could do is to subscribe.
