barkhorn Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I have received a new Speedmaster rep. with an omega lemania copy only a couple of days ago. The watch is great. Would you recommend me to clean and oil the machine before using it intensively? Currently the watchs runs in perfect order but a watchmaker has told me that generally the replica watches are badly assembled and dirty. Thank you for the answers.

Pugwash Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 My advice: Wind it up, set the time and wear it. The ST19 movement is not one of the bad ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shundi Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I agree with pugs but if you're worried about it a service will give you peace of mind for the next 5 years or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Guys, advising the OP to have this watch serviced is ridiculous. The ST19 comes properly oiled (according to The Zigmeister) and should not require service for five years. Enjoy your watch mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 That movement is the Maytag of the watchmakers world...they never break down... Wear and enjoy, get it serviced in 5 years if it's a keeper... RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Such a nice movement. I no longer have an ST19 watch. I think I'd best get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Such a nice movement. I no longer have an ST19 watch. I think I'd best get one. I'm with you on that one...can't decide which one. I want one with a display back...but the wathces I want that use one, don't have a display back.

highoeyazmuhudee Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 the blue screws are cool if one understands why they're that color...although i doubt these are REALLY processed that way. other than that i guess it's a matter of taste... "barkhorn" still never mentioned who he received this from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f5mando Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 That's a beaut! Now..what's an ST 19? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) That's a beaut! Now..what's an ST 19? That's what that movement actually is. From the Seagull factory in China and often referred to here mistakenly as a Venus. Edited December 9, 2008 by baltic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now..where'd you get it from, and is it the 42mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I have had several reps with the Seagull ST19 movement & it is totally bulletproof. Actually, Adrenalin has one of those watches now. Also, it is very often incorrectly refered to as a a Lemania copy. It does share some characteristics of certain handwound Lemania movements such as many of those used by Vacheron and others over the years, but the ST19 is really just like the venerable Venus 175 movement which is a classic handwound column wheel chronograph used by many brands to great success. And the replication by Seagull is pretty much spot on visually as you can see...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Seagulls alright, but sometimes never resets perfectly and running the chrono to the 30mins is often inaccurate by about 30-40secs by the time it reaches the 30minute count.
