The Watch Thread - Part 15

[cyrenic]

they very smart, make it look smooth, but actually jump abit then move jump abit then move. my other 2 seiko watch, one $400+, one $800+ both smooth totally one.

the back is exactly this. its the exact same model. i saw some reviews in chinese also say the watch got problem. but no 1 realise its not automatic

Did a check and the brand uses largely Seagull and Hangzhou movements.

Not impossible that it stutters.. Just trying to figure out which movement could be inside to match the power reserve for you, but there are so many variations.

 

[cyrenic]

It's very unlikely that anyone would want to go to so much trouble to put in gears, rotor, and then put a battery in the end, moreover a semi-smooth movement - for what is essentially a low end piece. If it was indeed a quartz watch it would be unabashedly quartz, if you ask me.

But you are right that 5 day power reserve is also very unlikely for that price.

So I dunno, maybe check if someone has been playing with your watch while you were not around, or someone handwound the watch..

If it's off Lazada, and you don't like it (moreover the brand is pretty expensive for what it is, tbh), just return lor. Might be a better solution, since you don't seem happy with it. Maybe do a proper read-up before buying next time.

guys need some help.

i just got this Solvil et Titus watch from City Chain official shop on lazada. watch model is 06-2961-002
https://www.lazada.sg/-i279781822-s....list_image..34217a937YJm1d&urlFlag=true&mp=1

It was supposed to be an automatic watch. after receiving it, it has nt been taken out of the box to wear. however, from the day i receive the watch till now has been about 5 days, the watch is miraculously still running. my other 2 automatic seiko watch can last only abt 2 days only.

Is it a fake watch sold by city chain? anybody can advise. thanks

i tried digging around watch forums there is no movement of that pricing that can last more than 2 days. unless we are talking about top notch atas watch. i suspect it is a quartz

這錶用的是杭州機芯。攪上滿鏈的話可以續航大概兩天。依你的情形來看機芯也許有問題了，秒針走慢了，時間必然偏得很多。那麼上滿鏈的情況下，能走5天不是不可能的事。
這“多功能”機芯很多大陸錶廠在用。本地市場除了鐵達時之外，還有Ingersoll，Marshall錶也在用。大陸方面上海錶廠，海鷗錶廠也在旗下低價錶款也用到。

至於說大陸機芯沒有達到長時續航能力，很少有人會注意，其實他們已經達到那個境界，祗是極少人會去留意大陸錶業的技術進展。

像以上這款出自海鷗的，就能續航到將近三天。

片中的操作是對的。
上鈕調的是月份，下鈕為期天。
像這樣複雜的機芯，調日子的時候不能太大意。最好調時間的時段必須避免在晚間九點到清晨六點之間。像你那麼搞，幸好不是瑞士機芯7751，不然的話肯定叫你荷包大出血!

你這隻錶不是什麼計時錶，留意!

90年代初直到大概2000中，鐵達時由香港公司買下之後，一開始採用日本機芯。2006,7年才開始用大陸機芯。手錶組裝也從香港遷移至大陸。

鐵達時是剛剛在2017年中開始採用瑞士機芯，並且限制在三針款。機芯是由大陸商家在瑞士開的機芯廠組裝，前身是Inter-T。主要部件如游絲還有一些精密齒輪都產自瑞士其它供應商。其它七成地盤，大部件就產自大陸。
時間廊另外一個“瑞士品牌”Pronto採用的則是大陸錶廠工程設計，於瑞士取用產自大陸，瑞士部件組裝的機芯。
