guru 4 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PolonusTM 12 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

atomic_doug 13 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mellons 54 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Wow some reserve here... Could be the fabled asian 8 day movement here! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
atomic_doug 13 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Thanks. Good to know. Hopefully, my local guy shouldn't have a problem with this movement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rolexman 280 Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mir36 24 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I learned so much from this teardown review. Amazing! Thanks for sharing this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMC 0 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
folex 15 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
