Horology Biology takes on a watch service restoration challenge. The cheapest automatic watch on Temu. Can I make it run better than it did out of the box?
The Ochstin SH-2 21600bph automatic watch is available on Temu for $32!
Is this a lot of watch for your money or totally not fresh?

@MrDownRater 5 месяцев назад

I did the same back then, first with cheap russian pocket watches (it's great because of the bigger parts) than I bought a bunch of cheap soviet wristwatches to learn more, than I jumped to the more delicate ones, when I had the belief in myself 👌🏻

@timothy4664 5 месяцев назад

Love your videos in general man but this series is really interesting. My mind is kind of blown by the cost of these watches compared to the tiny machined parts. I know the watches aren't high end but the parts are the part. 40 bucks for an automatic watch seems nuts even if it's inaccurate. I know technology and methods today make it a lot easier and cheaper to machine parts, but it makes me think about Breguet and how he created his movement over 200 years ago. No electricity, no CNC. No fine laser cutters. It's really amazing when you think about it.

@HorologyBiology 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching 🙏🏼 I think Breguet would be turning in his grave a little though 😅 it is mind blowing though how they used to do it. This is why I seriously admire the very few watchmakers out there that still produce very low numbers using the original traditional methods. I wish I had those kind of skills.

Good job Mat, these cheap Asian movements are tricky to work on sometimes - here's hoping you get a nice jump in subscriber numbers! One question though - the magic of editing shows you took like 10 seconds to fully seat that huge bridge. Be honest, how long did it really take? 😀

@HorologyBiology 5 месяцев назад

Cheers Alan, hope you're doing well mate 👍🏼 haha about the bridge. To be totally honest it didn't take that long as it wasn't as bad as it looked as all but 1 of the wheels could be nudged as there was access. The main one that caused a little bit of extra assistance was the escape wheel as it really needed a tad bit of a longer pivot on it imo.

@Trevorpartington-yc6ri 5 месяцев назад

@AlessandroGenTLe 5 месяцев назад

That movement is nothing else than a Dixmond Guangzhou (DG) 2813. Which is a kind of clone of the Miyota 8215. The final plate is tricky to put in place, and there's a trick to do: rotate the triangle of the click spring and you'll remove the pressure on the reversing wheel, helping A LOT to put back that plate :) Then you can rotate it back in position after the plate has been secured and voilà! Before removing the balance, I prefer to open/remove the antishock spring and then remove the balance stones. Then yes, the balance and then the rest :)

@HorologyBiology 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching 👍🏻 cheers for referencing the movement. A few others have mentioned Miyota clones as well so a good shout 💪🏻💪🏻

@iannicholls2790 5 месяцев назад

It looks like I have the same movement (an 8215 clone from ebay). I'm glad you showed how to put the date spring back in. I lost mine a couple of times until I put the plate on first. More escape-proof :) Bookmarking this for when I'm brave enough to graduate from pocket-watches.

It seems like a DG2813 movement, which is a clone of the Miyota 8215. Not 100% clone but very close. This automatic movement commonly appeared in many low end chinese watches especially replica watches. You can actually but these cheap movement for like 10 to 15 US dollars. They CAN be reliable, but they are a gamble, hit or miss. Some says it won't last longer than 6 months, some says it lasted for years and years, 5 or more.

I think too many people don't get enough quality practice before diving in to valuable pieces. Maybe it would be good for someone to take a few of these cheap movements and do full revisions, like a maker. Polish all the screws, finish the visible surfaces, tighten up the finish on the case, etc, and practice what it takes to create some of those finishes. Then taking extra steps to protect them will just come naturally, since it's time and sweat invested. 🤷‍♂️ Once someone has polished a few screws, they'll probably become a lot more aware of the impact of their screw driver.

It reminds me of the Timex Expedition North Automatic. In design at least.

I'm surprised that it has any jewels at all! For $32.00 I'd expect about 3 plastic gears that make the hands move when you turn the crown.😅

I've bought a watch with the Chinese Standard movement in it 5 years ago for $10, and this one runs fine, but it's really hard to wind the watch.

It's incredible what you can get from China for a few dollars. And at the same time it becomes clear that there is absolutely no justification for other watches costing thousands of dollars.

@HorologyBiology 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching. Although that doesn't make sense what you said. That's like saying a Ford Fiesta and a Ferrari should cost the same as they are both cars and do the same thing.

@avronaut 5 месяцев назад

@@HorologyBiology It makes sense and you know it too. A Rolex for 10,000 dollars has a material value of less than 10 dollars. Rolex produces around 1 million watches a year with fewer than 10,000 employees. On average, this works out to 17 hours per clock. Now you can calculate for yourself how much it costs Rolex to produce a watch. Even at $100 per hour worked around $1700. By the way: You can get good automatic watches with sapphire crystal for €100. So only one hundredth of a Rolex. A Ford Fiesta costs $20,000. So a Ferrari would have to cost $2 million for your comparison to be correct.

@HorologyBiology 5 месяцев назад

@@avronaut I think your math is a way off to be honest but I do see what you are saying. On the flip side you can say this about most high street retailers (look at Nike sneakers for example) or even supermarkets prices, do you avoid these products too?

@mrbrisvegas2 3 месяца назад

@@avronautThe estimated *total* labour to make a Rolex is just over two hours. The sales margins, marketing costs and taxes are at least 90% of the price. It is estimated at if Rolex moved production to China they could make their steel watches for only *$60* due to far lower labour costs.
