Modern barrels cannot be over wound as the spring is not connected on one end allowing friction to hold the tension. Citizen says to wind a 8215 forty times before checking accuracy.......40 times, LOL!
Thank you, useful info! 😊
If the watch is automatic I just wind it enough to get it running again and shake it a few times for the auto movement to engage.
I'm a new watch maker. Novice at best. Could you list where you resourced the parts?
I wind my omega untill I feel tension and has never failed me once.
My watch was purchased 2 years ago from MaMaCoo and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.
6:30 BALTIC Gang!!!!
i guarantee 💯 the mooders hate themselves now .
Hi, I have a watch with a movement who makes a lot of noise. It doesnt have a number on it, so i dont know which one it is. Its a 38mm watch and want to replace the movement, which one should i pick? Thanks in advance!
0:30 ah... that's pretty.
Excellent video! I thought I knew these movements, but I learned a few little details I didn't know.. thank you for a great video!
I recently upgraded an old Seiko 5 (7S36 02J0 from 2011) two tone watch. Its case and matching bracelet was very worn out and the old movement was gaining 5 minutes per day. The dial was its best feature so I put the dial on a new NH36 with luminous day/date wheels and put new hands on it. I then put it into a new SKX style case and it looks really amazing. The new case will help improve the water resistance to about 10-20 ATM with a screw down crown.
i love mine. i put a bond nato one-piece band from barton on it.
On the internet it says the Miyota 8215 has no hacking second, but mine has, it stops when you pull the crown. But bought just weeks ago.
Pretty nice watch but it’s just china made watch repackage and rebranding.
Great comparison of the two movements, as a hobbyist of watches, gives me better insight. Have both Seiko and Citizen watches in my collection.
Thanks a million for this great in-depth, informative video. You have produced it very concisely. Many homage watches today have either of these movements though I have always favoured the Seiko. Going through the pros and cons, I am glad I chose Seiko movements.
Thank you very much for this review which is very educational and a great guide!
skx and srpd are great watches just buy one , i personally love mine
FYI, my NH36 came with a full length stem that the crown screwed right onto. I did not need to buy a separate one. I was also able to use the plastic movement ring that came on the NH36 in my Seiko 5, no need to swap that either.
I've heard Orient makes better more accurate movements at the same price range. Is this true?
My Tag has 39 jewels which would have less friction amd less wear.
Is these movement eny oil in these movements when you buy these or ismovements try !???
I have the 8215 in a Timex Expedition North Titanium. Largely great time keeping I’ve noticed it keeps better time on the wrist than if you put it on a winder. Even so runs about +5 seconds a day when it’s not behaving. I’ve definitely noticed the stutter of the second hand which is something that I normally don’t notice until I do and then I cant stop looking at it. All in all I like the watch and therefore the movement beating at its heart. I’m weird but I like that it has shortcomings to the extent that it makes it feel like it has a bit of personality. It’s like its saying “I’m doing the best I can damnit” LoL
I have an OPDate, ref 1500 cal 1570 from around 1965. It’s my daily wear. And last service about 12 yrs ago. During the 12 yrs it have averaged 1”/day. So, at daylight saving time I set it about 2 min behind. 7 months later it’s about 2 min ahead. I don’t set or wind it, from March to November, and I let the calendar be wrong.
what size of watch case will this fit?
thank you so much, I just got a new watch with this movement and the hand winding felt stiff and I saw some gears going up and down, but with your video now I know it's normal.
Technically if the movement wears out just the small amount it might reach 0-+5 seconds as it kinda positional deviation, my ny0040 has this movement and it run well within cosc range, normally +2 over a day
Very very good! Thanks a lot!
I will wind my watch and use it. And when it wears out in 15-20 yrs I will either get it repaired or replace it, which ever is possible.
Simply put. The Skx is a tool watch, the Srpd is a watch trying to look like a tool watch. Personally I dislike skin divers. However I completey understand why people do like them.
I have the exact same dial in black it has the silver frame around the date. Mine is just a few years newer still with a solid case back but with the 7S26.
Good info👍🏻
Thank you but no thank you. My 7S26 movement in my Seiko 5 works just fine and it makes no sense replacing it to 'upgrade'. A wise man once said: 'If it ain't broke don't fix it'. I subscribe to that one.
Well, mine was broke, so I swapped it out. 😁
What do you advise on the loud rotor noise on this movement? That is the only con I can think of!
Yah okay, I won’t be winding mine anymore, unless it completely dies. Then I’ll give it 2 to 4 winds
Why would you wind an automatic in the first place?
I think as long as it is powered by 4R36 should be okay. 7S26 not worth for 2024. Just my two cents.
check it again in 5yrs (buy a replacement movement and install; regulate if needed)
If it's running this good, it probably isn't worth spending $800-1000 in a service.......keep it going
I bought mine because of how it looks. This watch is a handsome watch
Well explained. Appreciate your work. ❤
how build watch for woman?
I bought one, with a 4r36 movement 🎉
Old automatic watches , need a few startup windings. As to manual winding , know how many rounds you need to windup
I ordered one and it has a power reserve of 9 hours what is the cause of this?
I would buy an old skx 150 meter quartz version and an islanders watch from Mark if I wanted an automatic.
So you recommend winding a watch the same time every day. But what if it's raining? Let's face it this video was pointless nonsense.
Skx lovers. Some one to help me out. A local store has an skx007 and i ordered it online but the tag on watch says SRPD55K1 is it fake?
Tnks 👍🏼
