guru Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 Got mine from Toro too, it was still running upon opening the box and it was in transit from China for six days. Great write up Rolexman, I was very curious to see how the movement was constructed and you did a great job of explaining it! Good to know someone can service the movement if it acts up too 1
PolonusTM Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 Just remember if you want to wind this watch every 2 days to regulate it 30 seconds slow when fully wound. Then you will get a pretty accurate time keeping. So it looks manufacturer knows about it since the watch You got actually was set at -30 secs/day
Rolexman Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Posted January 6, 2014 So it looks manufacturer knows about it since the watch You got actually was set at -30 secs/day Keen eye. Indeed.
Rolexman Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Posted January 7, 2014 Rolexman: so... when did it stop? Still running 156h

coolfire Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 Still running 156h Very nice... Approaching 8-day territory already... Sent from my SHV-E250S using Tapatalk 2 1
coolfire Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 It stopped at ~160h Still fantabulous, nevertheless! Sent from my SHV-E250S using Tapatalk 2
FxrAndy Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 Hmmm 6.666 days me thinks this is the devils work!!!!! 1
PolonusTM Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 It stopped at ~160h and, just before it stopped - was it like +60 secs/day?
atomic_doug Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 Rolexman, after you serviced yours did the winding smooth out? I've been very happy with mine, it keeps good time and has the ridiculous power reserve, but the winding action seems...stiff and almost grinding.
mellons Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Wow some reserve here... Could be the fabled asian 8 day movement here!
Rolexman Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Posted January 12, 2014 Rolexman, after you serviced yours did the winding smooth out? I've been very happy with mine, it keeps good time and has the ridiculous power reserve, but the winding action seems...stiff and almost grinding. Smooth as butter. The click is also very silent and winding has a gen like feel and sound. It will be up in the Sales Section soon. Why don't you buy it to compare
atomic_doug Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Thanks. Good to know. Hopefully, my local guy shouldn't have a problem with this movement.
watchman12345 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Great work. I'll keep an eye on sales section!
jpz5142 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 Great work. I'll keep an eye on sales section! It was sold already.
surf Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 Dude someone needs to give you an award!! Mad props!! 1
blueradish Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Fantastic review, nicely detailed and informative. Particularily nice to know putting back plates is a b*tch. 1
Rolexman Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Posted December 21, 2014 This movement is now updated with bigger jewels in the gear train bridge and a square regulator arm. Looks and functions 99% like the real deal.
mir36 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 I learned so much from this teardown review. Amazing! Thanks for sharing this.
JMC Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 Thanks for this great post. My P3000 is performing quite good since november, looks like a great movement, no problems at all.
folex Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 This movement is now updated with bigger jewels in the gear train bridge and a square regulator arm. Looks and functions 99% like the real deal. Are you going to make another review? XD On a separate note, doesnt the gen move every hour when changing the hour hand. I mean almost like a click each time u change the hour. Are you saying the rep does this too? Sent from my iP**** using Tapatalk
lilypad Posted January 18, 2015 Report Posted January 18, 2015 We need a new review and teardown of the latest version!!!
