    I'm a watchmaker and the A Schild alarm movement is a huge pain in the ass. When it works right it's great. But sometimes it just decides not to. I had one that would get hung up on a particular date and even changing the date disc didn't make a difference, it would still hang up on the same date even though it was a new disc starting from a different position. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen.

      Is that movement similar to a GP alarm movement?

    • @CaptainXanax
      @CaptainXanax ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@enriquehidalgo630 Yea, the GP one is based off of it, they're very similar. I think most of the GP ones are manual wind with a GMT hour, no date. The GP59 for Panerai had a GMT hour disc as well as a date disc. Those are the ones I'm most familiar with. 4 hands, 2 discs, it's asking to be difficult.

    As much as I love Heuer I would go with a manual wind chronograph movement from the brand. Or if I wanted a automatic chronograph from Heuer. Then it's gotta be a rock solid Valjoux 7750 or Lemania 5100 movement.The Calibre 11 was a rush job the Calibre 12 is better but I definitely want a Heuer chronograph in the collection at some point. So far I own Rolex, Breitling and Seiko and no issues whatsoever from any of them

    "obviously Jacob&Co is....a decently established a brand," is a far more diplomatic statement than I would have managed. Even if they now produce some high horology for the breathtakingly tasteless nouveau riche, they still make overpriced bustdown quartz fashion watches.

    Thank you for your honest opinions and sharing your wisdom and experience. What’s your thoughts on Tissot? I’ve had trouble with both my winding stem (very muddy and imprecise feel) and the clasp on my PRX’s stainless bracelet just failed, and I’m not hard on the watch. I’ve maybe worn it 20 times in the last 2 years. It’s a gorgeous looking watch and keeps good time but it seems not too durable. It’ll be 80 bucks just for the clasp on the bracelet.

    I know these days, watch repairman may not want to work on any Timex watches, but l got two old Timex watches from the 60s. One is a 21 jewel 65 model, and the other a 1963 timex automatic. I had both repaired 12 years ago. The watches keep good time, don't get stuck, and are sturdy and water proof.

    Fed, what's your take on vintage Tavannes? I have one, I believe from the 1930's, tank-style. The main spring broke so I sent it off to get an assessment. The repair guy said $4200 just to repair the watch without cleaning the dial or polishing the case. He stated that the movement was old, parts difficult to source, & it looked liked it had some parts in it from the 1950s. Anyway, your thoughts on these movements?

    • @mercuriall2810
      @mercuriall2810 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It is impossible to say for sure without seeing the watch and knowing what work it needs, but that said, this sounds like a massive rip off. If the mainspring broke whilst wound, it could have done a lot of damage to other parts of the movement. Unless these parts need to be fabricated by hand it should not cost so much. It may even be possible to source a working movement of the same calibre and use it instead of fixing the original movement if the damage is too great. Do you know what movement your watch has?

      @morgan97475 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      With all due respect, have you ever had one? I used to have a classico, and moved to a more radical design, the freak, and love it. The quality is outstanding (what you expect for the price range) and their look, at least to my taste, second to none. I don’t know about the big date, but certaily would avoid it based on Federico’s comment.
