dluddy Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Great post Francisco. Thanks for being the brave one to tear this movement down and document it for the community
Dani Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Great tear down thanks. Mine has gained only 30sec in the last 10-12days i consider that very very good
Francisco Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Posted July 16, 2008 So if i understand the last couple of posts correctly from The Zigmeister and Franciso, this is better than the porto and the daytona movement, but it would have been better it the transfer of mins was routed via the co-axial gear and use the jeweled gears for the transfer of seconds, If problems do happen then the graphite lube of the co-axial gear MAY be a solution but in general there is a chance that this may be a usable movement, Ok got it i think this will stay on my list and when i have the cash i think i will go for it. Thanks guys Yes, you did a very good summary. Congratulations! However, I am not so optimist as The Zigmeister. Francisco.
AMK000 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Bien hecho Francisco. Que ondea la bandera. Great review. Thanks The Zigmeister for the feedback.
HauteHippie Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Great writeup. So it sounds like a little graphite on gear E will make this a potentially very robust movement, no? Thank you, Francisco.
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 I will say that I am in the same group as Dani, mine has been running non stop for over two weeks and has gained 6 seconds over the entire time. I have used the chrono functions quite extensively with no issue.
Rolexman Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Great work Francisco. All your effort is much appreciated. The macros are great and it's written in a way I understand most of it .
italiano17771 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 incredible post. i thank you for taking the time. from what josh told me, he stated that this mvmt is based upon the same philosophy of the new seconds at 3 mvmt. hopefully time will tell that it is as good. i had mine for less than a week and it is running great.
gran Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 I like your style Fransisco..sweet ....so comptetely different from our number one genious movement wizard The Zigmeister Thank you Gran
b16a2 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Excellent post! Would be interesting to see if any of them get sent in for a service and how this improves the running of the movement for thos whoa re having a few problems!
sander Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Very interesting to read. Thanks Fransico! Unfortunately mine died last night
Chronus Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Thanks for an excellent review. I don't really need another $500 paperweight. I was curious whether you would feel a lot better about the movement if the E gear were in fact jeweled. If I read your review correctly there are two critical problems. The first relates to the minutes of the chrono which is seldom used but the second relates to the lack of a jewel on the running seconds gear which is bound to have a problem since it is running whenever the watch is running. I agree, and like the Corgster, I'll stay away for now.... only long-term use will reveal the reliability of this. And it'll give enough time for MBK/MBW to get their version together
Shundi Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 I'm of the same opinion as Chronus and Corgi but I'm also a pessimist... hopefully the majority of these movements will run trouble free like most of the seconds at 3 I've owned! Awesome review F!
Flashman Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Great review. I wonder if it is possible to get a ruby put on the plate as a mod or a custom plate commissioned with a better adaption of the mod and a ruby for every cog. That way, any dead movements in the future could be fixed and and improved.
Guest nikos1978 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 mbw does not want to make 12 ap offshore because movement is very bad
tricantino Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Excellent review Francisco. Now everybody knows your great work. ... by the way... and what about the future of AP ROO seconds@12?
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 mbw does not want to make 12 ap offshore because movement is very bad WOW, its always good to get inside information like this!
dadog13 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 mbw does not want to make 12 ap offshore because movement is very bad they did AP ROO's with the old asian slow beat 21.6k mvt...and that one is not the most praised mvt among the members.... In the end I think they will do it...
rosnik Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Great tread Francisco thank you. Now that this finally correct AP is come I buy one too!
