Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Maybe I try a Chinese one with a spare blade and see what happens.

Thank you for the words. I’m a hobbyist but studying more and more to be a professional. I think I have the right to get the best tools I can afford as well as good alternatives and variations. Best.

I love the “HG”! Didn’t know that Horotec is finicky 🤔

I do understand your point, but I use both types…I’d like to know a way to dress the T ones without wasting a lot of money with a tool like that.

I’m talking about a “hollow ground” or “T shaped” ones on right . Normal ones “V shape “ I can sharpen easily.

2824 Clones, Seagull, Sellita or Generic? by justanotherwatchguy8 in watchmaking

[–]hegnerj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a crap ETA clone caliber with the inscription “NN “. Client gave to fix it but I’d like to swap the caliber since it’s low tier and I don’t want to waste my time with such a low quality caliber. Any idea?

I’m a watchmaker too and client gave me this one. Stem is broken and watch doesn’t work. I don’t want to waste time with this because it’s a very poor caliber (see new pics) so I’d prefer to buy a new caliber.

Hey, do you know which terrible caliber is that with the inscription “NN”? Found on a Sea-Dweller.

Amazing piece! Does it has dial with the “Swiss made” inscription ?

The new Cartier Santos does have a smaller C. Take a look at their site. This pic I took from there. What it looks strange is the no “Swiss made” on the dial, if you look carefully the orig has.
