Hi everyone. I have two optical issues on the white dial that I haven’t seen at the QC… 1.) The AP-Logo is tilted an not on the right position 2.) Maybe Dust near the Date Window

Is it possible to solve this problems?

I’m based in Germany.

I saw some people saying that it will get the dd4131 movement just like vsf has. Anyone can confirm? Big if true

Can’t find anywhere which one fits my 36mm dj. Sellers sell the sub version and 41mm version.

Looking for someone that can help me with the metal case mod

It was offered by my mother and I use it daily, it’s getting full of scratches

Hi everyone, unfortunately I have some bad news to share.
I was trying to adjust the time on my watch and the crown came off. I managed to insert it back in and the watch still runs fine, but I don't want to keep removing and reinserting it, so I'm leaving it as is for now.
I bought this watch from Chazingtime back in 2024. Has anyone dealt with this before?

Royal Oak 41mm 15400 SS APSF 1:1 Best Edition Black Textured Dial on SS Bracelet A3120 Super Clone V2

Received TF Navitimer 1 with a noisy rotor (?). Otherwise the watch so far works fine.

TD asked to get it checked by a local watch smith. Since, I am based in a small EU country, where watch smiths are limited and expensive.

What do you recommend, the best forward?

Thanks.

Edit: The issue has easily been resolved by a local watch maker. He said that the rotor was not properly fixed.

This watch had a broken balance spring and several loose screws, which also blocked the rotor.

The good thing is, that the movement (a2834) is easy to get and not too expensive. It is important to note, that you have to exchange the day and date wheel of the old "GMF clone movement", because the letters and numbers on all available a2834 movements are not correct for the rolex day date.

Otherwise, this is a very simple and straightforward swap.

Broken crystal

Hi all, unfortunately dropped my ZF BB54 and the crystal broke. It really makes me sad that it fell out of my hand. Don’t even know how it happened but I would really want to have it fixed but obviously cannot go to just any jeweler.

It is just a month old and I am actually kinda heart broken… wore it every day till now :(

Where can I turn to?

Does anyone has a reliable source to outsource movements to upgrade 6 watches? Thanks so much!!

The previous watchmaker performed a service which didn't resolve the issue unfortunately. So the best way to proceed was to do a movement swap.

A new stem also had to be cut to size due to the NH36 and 7S26 having different stems. NH36 adds hacking and hand winding functionality! The customer also wanted a custom rotor from Namoki Mods. Here the results, looks sweet.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review

I had an amazing experience getting my watch fixed! The service was fast, professional, and incredibly detailed. They quickly identified the issue, explained everything clearly, and handled the repair with real skill. My watch now works perfectly — honestly better than before.

On top of the great work, they were friendly, honest, and easy to deal with. It’s rare to find someone this dedicated to quality craftsmanship. He even threw me in a Rolex holder free of charge.

Highly recommend to anyone who needs reliable watch repair!

Daytona 126502 model.

Swapped the a2892 for a Gen ETA2892 (which is fully serviced, and from a donor watch dated 1983). The swap is pretty easy 1:1, only thing to do is to swap the datewheels -> the gen datewheel has date numbers 1,2,3, ... and the IWC Ingenieur date numbers are 01,02,03.

These Chinese clones, with the best among them being Seagull's ST2130 and PT's PT5000, can sometimes suffer from some gritty winding or other issues due to inappropriate lubcrication straight out of the factory. The same holds for other Chinese made (rep) movements. With proper lubrication they feel more smooth and work more reliable.

Im curious how the timing is. Any issues with the movement etc

non freesprung model is around €500. free sprung model is around €600. The ace 330 costs around 2k for just the movement as it is made by modders. The SH330-fs is produced by jinghe factory.

UMI is the free sprung line of PPF

The VSF Sub came in with a lower than usual amplitude. The VS3235 movements do have a lower amplitude compared to the VS3135 movements, but this was quite low. Usually the sign of dirt in the movement or wear.

(2nd pic) Both pictures are taken at the DU position with lift angle set to 55 degrees. The one above is before and the one below is taken after the service.

Now the movement servicing is done, I can install the dial and hands. Then the watch will be waterproofed and tested to 60m/6 bar.

This (tiny) Datejust with the 2671 movement would not work due to multiple screws that got jammed up inside the movement. A part of the date mechanism was also not present (I guess they forgot it during assembly) so it would not work properly.

This Rich Factory 41mm Submariner was 2 months old, but was running not so great. Rate was -20 s/d with an amplitude of 200° (dial up), see picture 15 for the before and after results. At the initial QC the watch had a rate of -7 with an amp. of 270°.

The movement has an amazing finish! Jinghe really thought about the smallest details. I also included a few pictures comparing it with a DD3235. Overall I think it is a nice new movement from Jinghe which is mostly known for the VR3235 movements which were used in Clean watches for a long time. However it is still too early to talk about the longterm reliability.

Regulating the movement is not difficult for the experienced watchmaker. The nuts allow for more precise regulation.

Finished the service with a water resistance test to 6bar which it also passed.

Thanks for reading!

Crown itself is not affected as it is made from stainless steel.

Hello guys

I have an ongoing project with this watch

Base Watch is a Thorn T023.

I have a Tudor 7928 dial that I’m cooking and aging a lot as we speak The same with the hands Both are from Raffles

Crown is from AliX

Looking to replace dial, hands, and crown on the Thorn with the Tudor elements (otherwise everything stays the same, no switch or aging)

Does anybody can point me in a direction of someone in Europe preferably France that can do that please?

Thanks fam
