Thank you for the great compliment.

Good luck. As long as you have the parts it’s easier than you think!

make sure you have the main plate on then install the spring or youll never get it brother

I found (time being money) that I would replace the movement rather that service it. Tear down takes about twenty minutes. Assembly was a larger problem as the 3/4 plate makes it difficult to seat the train gears. The first time I spent about an hour just to seat four gears. Quicker now however.

Can’t find any of the tech specs on it.

Interesting. I was just thinking about that. Believe it or not, it’s still working well. I don’t rough it up however. It’s a watch I wear once a week or so

it's only the minute and hour hand that need to line up. if, for example, the seconds hand is attached +5 sec, you can (hypothetically) set the time forward 5 sec with the everyday method and they will match. iow, time adjustment affects hour and minute but not seconds. this relates to the fact that the seconds hand is directly connected to the main gear train and cannot be forced, while the hour and minute hands are directly connected to each other but only indirectly connected to the main train through a clutch (the canon pinion). iow they basically follow the main train but they can be pushed off course with the time set. the same is true of the GMT hand, but with a separate adjuster for placing it wherever. note this is different (and arguably superior) to a rolex GMT, which can only occupy several fixed offsets from the main hour hand

Check for loose parts or the possibility that the stem is being pinched by the case back

@@watchesandjewelry i check it, if I pull out one time is ok, but when I pull out 2 or 3 times, the stem not working, i have to re install again!

Stems are all based on the movement. First you need to know the model or caliber of the movement. From there check the crown. Sometimes the step breaks at the bottom of the crown and that may require you to get a new crown also. It is not easy to find the right stem sometimes but it may require a bit of hunting

What kind of a watch is it?

@@watchesandjewelry Thanks. It's tge same movement of your video. DG 3804 GMT. The stem broke inside. It's such an inexpensive movement that do not think it's worthwhile to fix it.

You are right. A new movement on eBay is 36.00 give or take

Not my choice actually. A custom asked to have several of these made so I wanted to do a test before I worked on his watches. I am a stickler for using ETA movements in my watches unless a customer tells me otherwise.

So the 6460 is a compatible movement with the 5833/3804? My own GMT just had the crown strip completely so you cant set the time anymore and I'm going to shop for a replacement movement soon.

I always service the movements before I use them. It was discussed in the videos on these. I believe the determination of a good assessment was that it was actually keeping time after opening up the package. Lol.

I understand but, I wonder how many came here like me and found themselves with a dead watch and a choice of what to do with it ?? I've watched many videos now stripping down Minghnu movements with excess oil, metal filings etc. ...... not the movements fault but those who are assembling them ...... I know it may sound ridiculous but I just want to know what the time is with an agreeable watch!

I have a question, maybe somebody can help me. I have a similar movement (DG5833) in my Pagani GMT2, what I dont get is: - when I'm wearing the watch all day long and during the night, it runs under +3s/day (great!) - but when I dont wear the watch its about +15s/day (doesnt matter in which position the watch is laying: face Up/down, crown Up/down....) Since the position of the watch does not seem to have influence on the time keeping when not worn, I think it must be the higher (body)tempeture when worn.... None of my other watches (NH35) show this kind of behaviour, what do you guys think about this? It doesnt bother me since the watch runs perfect as long as I'm wearing it but I would just like to understand the reason for this since this is the only watch that does this....

@@fredsbloggs656 Hi may i know if the hands, dial and case of the DG movement will fit the NH35A? Thanks in advance

@@armstrong4154no, they’ll fit Miyota 8215

You have to gently push the detent in while slowly turning the crown. Take your time. Turning it helps it to seat back in. If the clutch has moved out of place you will have to disassemble and reseat clutch wheel and winding gear

@@watchesandjewelry turning left or right?

I usually turn counter clockwise. It should not matter however

@@watchesandjewelry and to pull the stem out does it need to stand on the winding, date, or hourhands?

Ok. I’m going to give you my most ho est opinion of this movement. When you get a good one, and treat it well ( don’t wear the watch hard, avoid the ocean and such) it will last. I am wearing one right now. Running for 18 months and it keeps relatively accurate time. If however, it drops hard, gets water on it (crown not tightened) it is easier to replace it with another good one. The only issue I have found is that there are several Chinese companies making these. One is really good. The others not so much. Keep that in mind. I have replaced dozens of these mostly due to dropping and rust.

@@watchesandjewelry thanks so much for taking the time. I love your videos btw 👍 Please indulge me with one more question. I bought a watch with this movement and hoping you can recommend a more robust Swiss or Chinese gmt movement for a case that is 39.3mm in diameter and 15.55mm thick. Thanks in advance.

Hi Alen, First, I have to ask, is the movement you have a GMT, or Duel Time. GMT hour hands move 1/2 speed from each other. Duel time move together. The only reason I could see the hands moving together would be because the hands are stuck together. Usually, on a dual time movement, the “second” hour hand will be set by pulling the stem out one click, and turning in one direction or the other. I would check to see if the second hour hand moves in exact one hour increments. Some watch manufacturers (for better or worse) use a set of Fake hands that will move together and “LOOK” like a gmt movement. Without seeing the watch it is difficult to tell you for sure, but those are the things I would check to start with.

@@watchesandjewelry yes my watch movement is the same as yours with the gmt hands . I have issue When I go and change my gmt hands the hour hands move at the same time , until the hour hand stopped at 11 o’clock my gmt hands can finally move freely .but as I click the crown back to the winding position the gmt hands and hour hands went crazy , they both clicked to other direction

OK.. Helpful.. I’m guessing that that the watch needs a dial washer to “push down” on both the GMT wheel and the hour wheel. If there is a dial washer already on the watch, then next place I would look is to see if the dial is seated “too high”, and needs to be adjusted. The last thing I would check is to see if there is significant “rubbing” between the GMT wheel and the hour wheel. (Those are the two wheels that hold the two hands... just in case). It really sounds as though the dial is seated too high, or a dial washer is missing or too weak.

@@watchesandjewelry yes exactly ,sound very similar to my issue, I guess the washer is just to weak or loose , thank you for you help .

Good luck.... I know the service video is long, that I made, but should be helpful of you tackle this yourself... If you need it looked at, I would charge $57.00 to fix it... let me know...

If the watch has a balance stop or hack, it may be slightly bent or out of position

@@watchesandjewelry everything is ok but when I adjust the time, the second hand is still working

There should be a small flat brass piece that articulates when you pull the stem. The tip of the brass piece touches the balance wheel when you pull the stem out. Not all watches have this feature. There are several versions of these movements and most have the hacking feature. If you look inside at the area where the balance wheel is spinning, pull the stem. If you see the brass piece move, but not stop the watch then it needs adjustment. If you don’t see any articulation besides the balance wheel , it’s either missing or the green watch may not have it

It’s touchy either way. I have had no problems either way that were not out of the ordinary. I would say for me, the winding position was easier. The worst part of this watch (maybe just mine) was the loose fitting parts and the difficultly in assembly as a result.

@@watchesandjewelry thanks for the reply! One last question, when inserting this stem, do you need to depress the lever or you just push it and wait for the click?

Im in the same boat...Stem came out fine, put movement into my new case...can't get the stem back in! Did you get it sorted Matt?

@@RobboRobinsonNG7 I didn't make the attempt. The ambiguity was killing me.

@@pseudorandom80 haha, yeah i think it might just be cheaper and easier for me to buy another movement and read the manual. Gotta respect actual watch makers/service folk - this is some intricate shiz.

I use a computerized system to time watches.

Thats also what I will do when mine should Stop working...😅

May I know if the hands, dial and case fit the NH35A? Looking forward to your reply, thanks!

What adjustments did you make in order to fit a nh35 on watch that had dg3804?

That's what I'm doing. I have 2 watches with this movement that both stopped and the rotor only spins one way. I'm a watch enthusiast but not comfortable taking the whole movement apart. I'm going to buy new movements and swap over my dials and hands and get them running again for $40 each.
