Among watch components, although the hands are small parts, they represent the craftsmanship requirements of Swiss watchmaking. However, some of the technologies and equipment for processing and producing watch hands are still monopolized by Switzerland. Due to the costs of certain technologies and craftsmanship, replica watches face difficulties in imitating the hands. Therefore, the craftsmanship of the hands can be used for authentication and sometimes serves as a reference for judging the authenticity of a watch. As the first step in the visual authentication of a watch, the hand pivot is also the first authentication point we observe. Abnormalities in the hand pivot are our first warning sign. Next, we will use practical examples to illustrate the role of the...
In the evaluation and authentication of Swiss mechanical watches, preliminary inspections of the movement’s operating conditions through manual adjustment and other methods are important links in watch authentication and evaluation. For example, using the characteristics of the movement for rapid identification, such as: Rolex’s instantaneous date change, Omega’s hourly quick date change, etc. Today, I will share how to identify the authenticity of a mechanical watch through the way its date changes. Ordinary calendar adjustment method Pull the crown out to the second position (date setting position) and turn the crown clockwise to test whether the date can be adjusted normally. Pull the crown out to the outermost position, toggle the hour hand to rotate 24 hours, and test whether...
The use of a mechanical watch timing machine is an important part of watch authentication and evaluation. Through instrument testing, we can observe whether the watch is operating normally and check for risks such as potential faults. For the special attributes of some brands, the authenticity of their movements can also be judged through instrument testing. Daily rate: The display of timing error within 24 hours. The chronometer standard is +6 to -4 seconds per day. Amplitude: The swing range of the balance wheel. The normal value is 250 – 320. Most watches need maintenance when the amplitude is lower than 220. Polarization: The swing value of the balance wheel’s axis. A value within 0.8 is normal; an excessively large...
Hello everyone, this is Bokey. Today, I’m going to share some practical knowledge about the daily use of watches. When you’re wearing a watch and suddenly notice fog inside it, what could be the reason, and how should we clean it? There are two situations when there is fog inside a watch: the first is that the watch has water ingress, and the second is that the watch has moisture ingress. If the watch gets water ingress and it’s an emergency, you need to think about whether you didn’t lock the crown, or if you soaked it in water for too long, causing the watch to get water inside. If the amount of water ingress is relatively large, when you...
Hello everyone, this is Bokey. Watch enthusiasts often ask which domestic mechanical watch movements are of good quality and have stable timekeeping. Today, I’ll talk about this topic with all of you watch lovers. In fact, China’s watch movement manufacturing has a history of several decades of development. Some well-known high-quality movements include those from Tianjin Seagull, Shanghai, Dandong, and Beijing, among others. Additionally, movements produced in places like Chongqing (known as the Mountain City), Nanning in Guangxi, and Hangzhou in Zhejiang are also of good quality. These regions have done a good job in the commercialization of movements, but there’s no doubt that Tianjin Seagull movements are the best among them. Tianjin Seagull is a very powerful movement manufacturer...
Hello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. If you like Omega watches, you must be quite familiar with their movements. Many watch enthusiasts often ask us about the differences between Omega’s 8500, 8800, and 8900 movements, and which one to choose. First of all, let’s look at the following configuration table to compare the differences among the three movements: From the table, we can see that the most obvious upgrade of Omega’s 8500 movement compared to the 8900 movement is the improvement in anti-magnetism, which is due to the silicon hairspring. However, this is not entirely accurate, because what you may not know is that the 8500 movement has many versions. This movement was launched by Omega in 2007. At...
Hello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. Friends who are familiar with mechanical watches should know that there is such an integrated chronograph mechanical movement that is almost universally used in entry-level Swiss chronograph watches. What is it? That’s right, it’s the ETA7750 chronograph movement. Although ETA’s three-hand movements once had a semi-monopolistic position in the global movement market, the 7750 chronograph movement has almost a complete monopoly in market share. Friends who know about it can leave comments to share with new friends, telling them which luxury watch brands have used the 7750 movement. The predecessor of this movement was actually produced by the First Moscow Watch Factory. This movement factory went bankrupt in the 1980s after the end...
Hello everyone, this is Bokey, focusing on the evaluation of replica watches in Guangzhou Zhanxi. Friends who are familiar with replica watches know that Factory C, also known as Clean Factory, has directly upgraded from an accessory factory to one of the top manufacturers in Zhanxi since it launched the Rolex Submariner. Factory C’s current replica Rolex models are not only rich in styles but also one of the most recommended factories to buy from. In particular, Factory C’s exclusive ceramic bezel technology has allowed it to form a monopoly position in the market. Here, we will introduce whether there is a big difference between the replica Green Submariner from Factory C and the genuine one. The history of Factory...
Hello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry.

For watch enthusiasts who are not familiar with Zhanxi Watch City,...
The IWC Portuguese Chronograph and Portuguese 7 from ZF Factory can be said to be the benchmark works of ZF Factory. They have won widespread recognition from watch enthusiasts due to their ultra-high appearance value and 1:1 simulation and restoration degrees. Of course, for watches with such complex timing functions, the repair rate of the movement is a concern for everyone. In order to help watch enthusiasts reduce repairs during use and obtain a more comfortable wearing experience, Bokey Watches shares with watch enthusiasts the correct usage methods and precautions for the IWC Portuguese Chronograph. In fact, every watch has its own unique way of use, but these ways are more or less similar. Because only when you know the...
