    Came upon this video because my Longines Conquest L1.634.4 stopped working and it has this ETA movement. Don’t know if it’s a Chinese copy or an original.

    Great video! After Seagull ST2130 (2824-2), I also worked ST1812. I am not good like Mark, but I also felt good on Seagull movement. Very different vs Shanghai one. One small problem I saw was ST2130 screw was not very sharp.

  • @TristanColgate

Just noticed you left the screw and plate connected, smart !!

    @watchhans Před 6 lety +1

    I bought a limited Sea-Gull watch using the ST1812 a couple of years ago in China. I am very satisfied with it´s accuracy (+3 sec./day on avg.).
    I think that the ST1812 is slightly better made than the ST2130. But usually Sea-Gull use the better produced movements for their own brand. As far as I know Tianjin Sea-Gull Watch Factory also produce different grades of the same movement, similar to ETA´s Standard, Elaboré and Top-Grades.
    I fear that movements sold on the internet in Europe are only Standard or `Elaboré´-grade movements.

    Really love your work, Mark - I've learned a great deal from both your videos and the BHI courses I'm pursuing. I wonder, would you consider doing a video on English-lever/fusee movements? I've struggled on more than one occasion with them, and I've quite a few in my personal collection that I've not wanted to address in case I cause near-irreversible damage. I realise there are lots of variations in these older movement types, but it'd be great to see it done by someone more skilled than I (at least presently ;) give it a few years, I might catch you up).

    When assembling the keyless works on my movement, the yoke isn't pushing the sliding pinion flush against the winding pinion when pushing the crown to the winding position. It just kind sits there loosely. The yoke only seems to push the sliding pinion toward the setting wheel when pulling the crown to the time setting position.

    I am curious about the critical components - for example is the mainspring made of Nivaflex NM as with the original ETA 2892 or Sellita 300-1? Is the balance wheel made of Glucydur or hairspring nivatronic ? I would think the quality of these components decide the durability and ruggedness of the movement wrt temperature shock or magnetism. Your inputs would be great.

      I don't know a thing about watches, but I had a dirt cheap chinese scooter that had a motor and drivetrain - a copy of a very popular Honda. Well, it was not only totally interchangeable, but of much higher quality at times. Mostly because it was originally an '80 design and chinese clone was made by circa 2010 technological processes.

    Looks like a well running unit, but I can see it's not as nice looking when you strip it down, as say a vintage Hamilton would be. Maybe you really do need to hand finish movements if you want them to look really nice under magnification ( not that the owners would ever know the difference.)

    What do you suppose would have happened if you hadn't noticed and repaired the scoring under the setting lever? If the setting lever only moves when you make a time adjustment, perhaps the only long-term effect might be metal debris moving elsewhere in the movement? I just ordered a movement from the vendor in Portugal (along with the other parts from eBay to build your ST1812 automatic watch) and was wondering if I needed to summon the courage to try the service and repair that you so ably demonstrate in this video. Thank you once again!

    These clone movements look great but can I purchase legit/authentic movements somewhere?

    I would love to learn to do this, but I have a silly question.
    Question: How do you know where these parts all go, and in what order??? Seems like this could get wildly out of hand if you just dive in.
