Furu Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furu Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas, is it feasible ? I mean, why the hell not ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
