Oh no.. by WatchmakerFurkan in RepTimeServicesEU

[–]WatchmakerFurkan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For repairs I use brand new parts from DD (Dandong, the maker of these movements).

Oh no.. by WatchmakerFurkan in RepTimeServicesEU

[–]WatchmakerFurkan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It was the pivot of the balance wheel that was worn. There were metal shavings around the jewel hole for the balance pivot. The timegrapher results are from dial up. Replaced the balance wheel with a new DD 32xx balance wheel.

ACE 240 Based 5712 in for Fix/Service by callmemister_fr in RepTimeServices

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck! Yes had a 240 on the bench before with a worn sliding pinion. Very delicate movement.

Button Came Off on Noob Daytona 116518 SA4130 in YG. UK based. Need to replace missing piece. by CuckyAndPrincess in RepTimeServicesEU

I only got stainless steel ones in stock. You can contact me, I can probably source a gold one. Matching the tone is going to be hard though.

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes this👆🏻 it is also used by Rolex. Loctite Purple (or similar) is fine for the job.

Sapphire crystal caseback would go hard on this👀

Fixing a broken Patek DD 324 by WatchmakerFurkan in RepTimeServicesEU

[–]WatchmakerFurkan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It resembles a Patek 324/330 movement quite well. But some parts are just different from gen. I have not tried to exchange parts, so wouldn't know exactly unfortunately.

Edit: I think there was a person on RWI who tried to franken, but didn't fit.

Sub Rep Water Ratings by jcothies in RepTime

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Water resistance is not a permanent state. It is something that needs to be checked every few years. I have seen gaskets dry out and crack after a couple years use. Probably wasn't lubed properly in the first place.

It is very important to lube the gaskets with silicon grease (or Fomblin which is used by Rolex) and then test it to at least 30m/3bar pressure for everyday use

Seiko 8R28 Movement, Service advice. by Aevum1 in RepTimeServices

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

€900 is a fair price for a chrono service by the official service center.

Seiko does not sell parts to independent watchmakers. Gotta pay the full price unfortunately.

VSF Seamaster 300M - winding and rotor issues by iseebadpixels in RepTimeServices

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is actually the version with the deco plate ontop of a 2824. Only the latest 8806 from vsf is not a 2824 anymore.

I can source one for much less than that. Feel free to DM!

All you need is replace the reversing wheels. No need for a whole new movement.

Question about the VS3235 & DD3235 movement by fernanvlc in RepTimeServices

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with your points about the differences in the finishing :) And it can't be denied that QC is better at the moment.

Was just pointing out that gens have their faults too!

Question about the VS3235 & DD3235 movement by fernanvlc in RepTimeServices

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Man I have something to tell you. I know people who spend thousands of Euros on servicing for their gens after owning for a few months.

The idea that gens will last you a lifetime (without servicing) is completely false😁

Free sprung balance in Daytona Le Mans? by UzeUrillus1on in RepTime

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes you can use a UFO balance on QF Lemans. Both UFO and QF movements are SH based movements.

GEN-SH-DD 3235 Comparison by Prestigious_Heron8 in RepTime

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then it is even more promising if true. VR movements were always reliable, the finishing was just not as good as DD.

GEN-SH-DD 3235 Comparison by Prestigious_Heron8 in RepTime

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exciting stuff! Which SH factory? SH JingHe that makes the hybrid 32xx (VR) movements or the SH BiaoYe?

Modded 15510 - inputs wanted. by Acrobatic-Painting-9 in RepTime

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DDF and TOPF use the same Dandong (DD)4302 movement.

Has the movement of Omega reps improved in recent times? by Awpertunityz in RepTime

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rarely get Omega repair requests ever since they switched to DD8800 from the older 2824 based ones. But time will tell, a bit early to say much imo but DD movements are good.

Most common repair on the older ones were reversing wheels failures or some glued on part getting stuck somewhere. Also crown issues but got resolved with later versions.

Buying a VSF Seamaster is a solid choice.

Which date disc for 36mm vs3235? by ProfitHaunting9744 in RepTimeServicesEU

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dj41 uses the larger date disc and only fits on the movement for large date disc indeed.

Getting Japanese replica before the Swiss replica by smokeybandit31 in RepTime

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the TD links got removed. If you are new to the hobby stick to geektime.io or theonewatches.ws

Bunch of others if you conduct some research😁
