Custom case and dial video would be awesome. Thanks for the service on this movement!

I would like to see you continue this project to see where it might lead. Nice video and history.

Yes, please more of this project. Would love to see your choices in the design process.

Great video. I'd love to see the conversion to manual as well as fitting this in a dial sized for humans.

Great video, I really enjoyed it! If you were referring to the Seitz pivot straightening tool when you mentioned expensive tools for this task, please know that it’s a waste of money if you intend upon using it for its stated purpose. The instructors at WOSTEP call it the pivot breaker. The one redeeming feature of this tool are the jewels set in it. They’re actually graduated in half sizes, so it’s great for accurately measuring the diameter of pivots by test fitting them in the jewel holes. The Seitz pivot gauge that has the jewels set in a metal plate lacks the half sizes. If you see a pivot breaker for a bargain price, they’re worth it for measuring pivots.

Would be really interested in watching the conversion. Terrific result. Thanks as always.

More of this project! I own some Forsining watches for a few years now and never had an issue with them.

I also would love to see you do the conversion to manual wind and develop a custom case and dial.

yes, conversion series FTW!!!

Very nice improvement on the watch. Thanks for posting. Good luck with the watch strap website. I love those straps you make by hand.

I just love listening to you talking about anything that you are passionate about. If you are up to modifying the watch to your liking, I'm certain that it would make a great story. I'm bookmarking your webpage and hope I'll be able to order when I can decide on what style that i really want

I definitely want to see the rest of the journey!

"nickle plated cheetos" HAH thats hilarious.

The Chinese movements I have worked on (ST36) were all void of any lubricant and had lots of hairs/debris. Once cleaned and oiled properly, they ran fairly well.

Excellent my friend, really interesting history and I’d defo like to hear more😁 brilliant news on the new store too 👍👍👍

It would be nice seeing more of this project - new custom dial and hands perhaps. I own ST1908/1904 watch and wondering what you think of it. Thanks a lot for your videos! I enjoy them very much!

Captivating content, skill, and opinion. Thanks to your wife for the research. I would like to learn more about all presented!

Great video and history lesson, I would love to see you convert it into a manual 😀

I once got one of these chinesium movements with the jewels in the train bridge installed UPSIDE DOWN, with the oil cups facing the wheels. looks like yours might be the same!

It seems to be common that many cheaper Chinese watches have very well made parts but the assembly is sloppy. And your video once again proved that point. Also, if you remove the auto winding function I think you would be better to leave the original spring. This way you will not ever have to worry about overwinding it. For many years it has been my position that all manual watches should be equipped with the spring and barrel used in automatic watches.

Awesome stuff. Props to Mrs ST for the history in particular. Very interesting stuff. I think anyone working on watches secretly (or not) would love to create their own (yes, I have designs), so more on taking this project forward, please.

I love the historical parts of your videos!

What is this thing about cheap Chinese movements not being properly lubricated? Even Seiko could and should improve in that area. I wonder if the oiling process can be automated as, I assume, assembling, or part of it, is. As usual my congrats for your videos as well as the entertaining commentary you supply with them. Got up early this morning and spent my time watching the story unfolding while sipping my cup of tea at 6,30 iAM. What a nice way to start my day! I hope you will give it a follow up with the planned modifications. Keep up the good work and greetings from Italy. P

I'd really like to see a video of you refining this movement. I find the biggest shortcoming of these watches is usually the case. Thanks for showing the details of Chinese Movements. Good Fortunes and Great Successes 🫡🍻

Congrats on the new store; I wish you success. One question about the movement, are the jewels made out of plastic? Did they pass a scratch test? Thanks for the video. :-)

I'd love to see the conversation. ❤

try the dulunive watch i have one and its working

Seeing the video, I'd like to know if those large grooves are only in the plating, or if the base metal is also affected.

Here's a challenge: I'd love to see you design and make your own watch. In July I turn 84.so (intentional pun) the clock is ticking. I'll post a reminder every July until my demise or your realisation of your ambition. 😁

I bought an Amazon special, just to take a look. $17.98 free shipping . I was surprised to find a good accurate movement. The watch case is of poor quality, basically a dust cover. Now you tell me that the Chinese do not have super microscale robots that make these. Actual skilled people put this together. Now I feel kinda guilty. Thanks this was very interesting 🤔

its a alilange and sohne nice and clean my master always says if you can make a shity watch run good thats watchmaking !

Could you share the company information of your Dial Repair Lady friend my dear Sir? Thank you much!

What model number is the watch please?

I think you mean $3/day

Bin material that pal

Dude, yes, I'm from a part of the world where there are surfers, we ARE all nuts, but it has nothing to do with staring down a microscope. We were nuts when we started this thing called watchmaking, or perhaps more accurately, we were nuts before that, and we just chose to express that insanity through watchmaking.... I'd love to see what you intend to do with your lump of purified Chinesium. No, that's not meant to pejorative, just a lame attempt at humor. That chunky back plate is likely that way because it was simply easier to do it that way, without respect to elegance or fineness. It was just easy. Again, that is without judgement, just honesty. All of the fine touches of "haut horology" are luxuries indulged in by those who are confident in their skills and have the time to show off, for money. That the thing spun up the way it did, without a jewel in the balance, says more about it's quality than any amount finishing some Swiss master watchmaker can grace it with.

That's not worth a carrot mate

Chinese faking their own watches is the most Chinese thing ever.

So, typical Chinese quality then

Nice to watch but you talk to much
