Horology Biology takes on a watch service restoration challenge. The cheapest automatic watch on AliExpress. Can I make it run better than it did out of the box?
The Fngeen automatic Rolex Submariner copy watch is available on Ali Express for a mere $17! Is this a lot of watch for your money or totally not fresh?
*Guys... For clarity for some illogical reason I stated 1300 oil for the capstone on the voiceover. As most of you will already know from my other videos It is 9010 oil that is used & should be always used. (and was used).

Whereas someone like me, would buy all the needed tools and cleaners and lubricants etc. Buy the watch. Begin to very carefully take it apart... then realize I failed entirely to grasp beforehand what a monumental undertaking it is to even take it apart without catastrofically breaking it in the process. Then if I managed to take it apart, I would then realize I failed entirely to properly document the process of taking it apart so I would have NO CLUE how to put it back together again and ultimately it would be a pile of parts collecting dust. Yet another tribute to the pile of things I have failed at more times than I care to count.

While we all love to bash China and Aliexpress for cheap products, I think we should give due credit to Chinese manufacturing for producing this time piece and other products at such a cost that any one can buy , enjoy or smash these gadgets. One would agree that before China became a major producer of RC hobby products, that field was prohibitively expensive. Now almost every one who wants has some form of RC toy, high power led lights and very cheap fun toys and gadgets.

I know how rockets work, engines, 2 stroke, 4 stroke, 2 stroke diesel, Wankel, anything. But these two are alien technology to me. Thars why i'm so fascinated and watch as much as I can.

supposedly a lot of these Chinese firms use random letters as their brand name cos it's easier to trademark it. if you give it a proper name, you need to do a lot of research to make sure that it's not already trademarked, random letters on the other hand arent trademarked. Trademarked companies also get priority listings on a lot of websites.

I've bought about 9 or 10 of these Fngeen watches in various styles both automatic and quartz. The most I paid was under $25 for an automatic. For the money you can't beat one. Yes they're cheap but they've all kept perfect time and if I bang it against something and it breaks, it's not the end of the world. I can't remember the last time I wore any of my old good watches.

I tried messing around with it myself and ended up completely destroyed the watch unfortunately as I took it apart without any idea on how to put it back together.

You'll get a movement off of eBay. I replaced the module in my Tissot T-race after it failed right out of warranty. Be careful with the stems for the hands though, I did manage to break one of the sub dial posts.

Very cool video. It's amazing they're only charging $17. First time watching. Definitely will look for more as it is always fascinating to watch people work on watches. Keep up the great work

At $17, it's basically disposable. Could be used as a piece of costume jewelry to wear with your Halloween costume, then bin it - or not.

Just found your channel. I'm learning alot, thank you. I'm seriously thinking about getting some tools and starting this hobby. Looks fun. I've been getting a few picket watches, it would be fun to play with them and see if I could get them running better

I would say go for it and start your 2024 with a new hobby 💪

@HorologyBiology Just need to find room in our van for it. We live in our van. It would be so fun as we don't watch TV or even own a TV. I already make jewelry, so it goes hand in hand. I'm thinking about putting a nice mechanical watch as the head stone on a walking staff.

@clarklindquist8137 That would be really cool. I’ve actually thought about that for myself many times as I’m quite hooked on watching van build videos on RU-vid

I’m really impressed with the quality of your work and your videos, they truly are super fresh! Also props for replying to so many messages, must be almost a full time job 😂

I appreciate that, many thanks ☺️ I do think I should hire someone for all these comments though as you are right, its become a job 😅
