Horology Biology takes on a watch service restoration challenge. The cheapest automatic watch on AliExpress. Can I make it run better than it did out of the box?
The Fngeen automatic Rolex Submariner copy watch is available on Ali Express for a mere $17! Is this a lot of watch for your money or totally not fresh?
*Guys... For clarity for some illogical reason I stated 1300 oil for the capstone on the voiceover. As most of you will already know from my other videos It is 9010 oil that is used & should be always used. (and was used).

Whereas someone like me, would buy all the needed tools and cleaners and lubricants etc. Buy the watch. Begin to very carefully take it apart... then realize I failed entirely to grasp beforehand what a monumental undertaking it is to even take it apart without catastrofically breaking it in the process. Then if I managed to take it apart, I would then realize I failed entirely to properly document the process of taking it apart so I would have NO CLUE how to put it back together again and ultimately it would be a pile of parts collecting dust. Yet another tribute to the pile of things I have failed at more times than I care to count.

Instead of scoffing that this $17 watch is inferior to a $17,000 rolex you should be marvelling at how amazing it is that it's been made for such a stunningly low price. It's not supposed to be a high-end marvel of horology. It's just a watch, and for what it is it's very impressive

While we all love to bash China and Aliexpress for cheap products, I think we should give due credit to Chinese manufacturing for producing this time piece and other products at such a cost that any one can buy , enjoy or smash these gadgets. One would agree that before China became a major producer of RC hobby products, that field was prohibitively expensive. Now almost every one who wants has some form of RC toy, high power led lights and very cheap fun toys and gadgets.

Bought these just to practice disassemble a mechanical watch and later assembled it. Killed one, the other one never runs right to begin with, but I made it worse. And had some success on the third one. I mean if you'e interested in watch making, its a good start. From what I learned, I repaired my mom's wedding watch and she love it. Its worth all the headache seeing my mom so excited on wearing that watch again. 😊😊

supposedly a lot of these Chinese firms use random letters as their brand name cos it's easier to trademark it. if you give it a proper name, you need to do a lot of research to make sure that it's not already trademarked, random letters on the other hand arent trademarked.

I've bought about 9 or 10 of these Fngeen watches in various styles both automatic and quartz. The most I paid was under $25 for an automatic. For the money you can't beat one. Yes they're cheap but they've all kept perfect time and if I bang it against something and it breaks, it's not the end of the world. I can't remember the last time I wore any of my old good watches.

Just discovered your content! Reminds me of a couple years ago with my quartz Seiko Flightmaster that had an issue with the stem and crown unable to push all the way in. The watchmaker I took it to quoted me $180 to replace the 7T92 movement (more than the value of the entire watch). I tried messing around with it myself and ended up completely destroyed the watch unfortunately as I took it apart without any idea on how to put it back together. Now I feel motivated to give it another shot and check my bag of parts to see if I can try it again

You'll get a movement off of eBay. I replaced the module in my Tissot T-race after it failed right out of warranty. Be careful with the stems for the hands though, I did manage to break one of the sub dial posts.

For someone whose just learning to work on watches, I think for $17 it’s a good practicing watch, I mean for $17 who cares if you mess it up, at least you get to learn on it :)

I was honestly surprised to see capstones and bejeweled pallet fork on a $17 watch. Totally expected to find random plastic thermoset parts instead of actual gemstones. This watch is worth more than $17. Literally the only thing I saw that was cringe was the glued-on dial.

I’ve never fully disassembled a watch, just some minor fixes on some rather large pocket watches, that said, I think this watch would be great practice for someone looking to get into the hobby. Would give you a feel for scale and how watch mechanics work.
