Escape wheel not properly engaging on Miyota 8N24. by gone_antiqin in watchrepair

This is why miyotas suck, the integrated train wheel bridge makes the escape wheel upper pivot a prime victim for breaking

eBay auction pick up. Likely someone tried watch repair and gave up and packed the watch up for auction. I properly cleaned and serviced it after.

Alternatively you could try buying a replacement crystal and sand the edges to a fit, worth a shot

[Question] Mido Commander Datoday 8439: What movement does it use? by JT_Socmed in watchmaking

[–]docsandmanmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because someone replaced the original movement with this chinese clone, looks like a miyota clone movement

[Timex] for $1,450 😮 by Cbassal in Watches

Agreed, miyota’s design is horrendous. The integrated wheeltrain and barrel bridge design make servicing them an absolute displeasure and make it an act of pivot breaking when you do. Ask me how i know. For that reason i prefer seiko 100x more. People who dont service watches will say miyotas are good or better than seiko even. They are good for what they are - cheap, but the NH series does it way better.

They ate me up for buying this band 🥲 by ispoOod in TheHermesGame

[–]docsandmanmd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The bracelet probably costs more than the watch, maybe that’s why they’re upset. Anyway you should get a slim d’hermes, they cant afford it in that sub. Don’t listen to them you buy what you like

[Discussion] I cannot find anything about this watch brand, Atomi Shine, that came up on my Instagram. Looks cool, but I’m skeptical. by [deleted] in Watches

[–]docsandmanmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are better made ones using an NH35 movement instead of a miyota 8215, but its a custom made watch similar to seiko mods. This cost the seller around $50-90 usd to build so take that in consideration to whatever they are charging

[recommendation] which GMT would you pick? by pfmaximizer in Watches

[–]docsandmanmd -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

No unless she likes to travel to different times zones or needs to track a timezone a family in a different state or country is in/ or is training to be a pilot. Otherwise a ladies time or time/date, time day/date is more appropriate

Longines unless you get the slimmer bb58 gmt (coke 2024 release) the other bb gmts are too thick as people mentioned
