kbh Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Just by looking at the rotor you can see it's ETA shape. Most likely a broken clone. I don't see the point of this video. I could even do that. If he was putting it back together i"d be impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have just used a hammer..would have been much quicker and to the point. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 haha yeah, he could have halfed the video in time by just throwing the movement against his desk and collecting the parts back on that spot. hope our rep makers take more care?

Rolexman Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 he tries to unscrew the fine regulator screw... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 He's a MORON, love the way he flicks each screw off as he unscrews it, and the fact that the movement is resting on the seconds pinion during the disassembly...

I was thinking of you Zigmeister when I first saw this..lol...what a embarasment to your fine watchmaking/ skills/craft. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_sphere Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 I knew as soon as I watched the video that Zig would chime in. This is just... wow... the level of care is terrible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Embarasement to all watchmakers around the world, this is so wrong on so many levels...entertaining though, can't help but wonder what's the point of the whole excercise?

Agreed..and not only Insulting to the watchmakers..but to all of us that apperciate and love the time honored tradition and creation of the mechanical movement. I think the guy was trying to impress upon viewers how many moving parts are Involved In a mechanical movement...If you go by his video discription...but failed miserably to do so in a proper and professional manor. Can you tell what the movement is from the video? thanks. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 It's definetly not a Sellita, from the finish of the plating I would say it's a Clone ETA 28XX, a gen ETA would not have that rotor marking and the ETA is typically a more subtle gold plating...

Thanks..makes the video a little less horrifying knowing It's a cheep clone. Stll not right..but less horrifying none the less. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 One screwdriver can do everything! And hey, why not just touch every piece with your fingers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 One screwdriver can do everything! And hey, why not just touch every piece with your fingers!! That's what I was thinking too. When I saw bare hands at the very start I knew it was going to be bad. Yikes! I guess maybe he was using the seconds pinion as a kick stand.

andreww Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Obviously this guy had no intention of ever putting this thing back together. Apparently he's in the rep business so he's probably assembled thousands of these things and could probably put it back together just as quickly as he took it apart. I actually found the disassembly process quite interesting, and from the moment he rested the movement on the seconds pinion I knew this wasn't an exercise in proper watchmaking procedure. Doesn't make it any less interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 I just think he likes to screw Btw, he owns a good screwdriver He is a screwman, he likes to screw on/with things. This time it was x-mas for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Wow....just wow. Maybe I should have sent him the free set of tools I gave away a few months ago. It had a decent set of tweezers in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
