Movement marking


Furu

Recommended Posts

Knew this day would come... Today i decided to disassemble one of my watches, just for the fun of it :whistling:

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?

And yes, the watch is reassembled and fully functional ;)

Many thanks! :victory:

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-

I wonder what the problem is waterproofing this watch to a fair 15 m / 50 feet depth. Any ideas, is it feasible ? I mean, why the hell not ?

Shouldn't be a problem at all as long as the crystal is correctly pressed and the seals greased.
