Furu Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 Knew this day would come... Today i decided to disassemble one of my watches, just for the fun of it Bought Offshore's tool-kit last month, highly recommended! Inspecting the Chinese movement i noticed that it had a logo (right where you would expect a ETA logo on a ETA movement) , I thought all the low end movements were no-name products. Does anyone recognize the logo? I did my best to recreate it. (Below) The dissection: The tweezers (one shown in the picture) are superb, swiss made. Never thought i would compliment the quality of a tweezer, but these are awesome. Also a bit surprised i noticed that the crown is indeed a triplock construction, cheap rep. The movement logo (as i remind it): Any ideas? /Furu And yes, the watch is reassembled and fully functional 1
automatico Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 The trademark belongs to Dixmont Guangzhou. http://www.tractionink.com/watch_wiki/index.php?title=Dixmont_Guangzhou_Watch_Company Picture of Nanning and DG trademarks...the movements look alike. http://www.pmwf.com/Phorum/read.php?4,73207,73418
Furu Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Posted October 16, 2010 Many thanks! To me it feels good, knowing what I own! That "Chinese Watch Industry wiki" has much information, need to read a few articles. Thanks once again- /Furu

Any ideas, is it feasible ? I mean, why the hell not ?
