Analysis of the cheapest automatic watch that we can buy on Aliexpress.com. We open the watch to inspect its movement piece by piece. The quality of its assembly and its oiling. We service the movement to compare what may be the maximum performance that can be achieved assuming these watches are assembled and lubricated correctly.
We conclude that costs have been cut in the following aspects:
Lack of quality control.
Machining with high tolerance values.
Assembly with poor lubrication.
Cheap materials like bent steel and chrome plated brass.
