Went too far in the wrong direction. The mighty Mingzhou is now 2 minutes slow. Waiting for charge to run out before I try again.

Hey it could be worse.......it could be a Russian watch.

One of my Mingzhou movements is fairly accurate so it's not hopeless.
Some Vostok's are interesting, especially the red dial Komandirske and Amphibian.

Quartz and smart watch owners probably do not enjoy regulating an automatic like I do. Without a timegrapher, it takes several days to adjust an automatic. Opened the mighty Mingzhou twice today to do rough adjustments. Still needs more fiddling but it is reasonably accurate now. Snicker all you want, I can take it.
When I was really into watches I did not mind opening them up for a quick adjustment. But I dont have patience for shoddy products and any movement that is poorly made I usually ended up just throwing it away. If it did not keep consistent time, out it went.

Yeah, the mighty Mingzhou will always be fast or slow. Interestingly, my Valjoux 7750 watch is just as inaccurate. No, I am not contemplating a $700 service from Richemont.
It always tickles me when cheaper Asian movements run the same or better than European units. It drives the Europhiles nuts....lol

Had my other homage open for regulating so decided to snap a few. This looks like a Miyota of some sort. Note the two piece case back which is the same as the famous brand. Not sure if the insert is Titanium. Also shown is my case back tool and deluxe regulating tool...er...Dollar Tree eyeglass screwdriver.

Europhiles, lol. The mighty Mingzhou is still good to the minute after two days. I think with a little effort, it can be adjusted to 1 minute per week which is 10 seconds a day. Here is a close up of the Miyota.

Myotas are great movements, both auto and quartz. Citizen does a nice job with them.

2 watches fresh back from Omega Service
That Tachymetre is a classic. Tell us more about it.
Speaking of "homage" watches, the Omega Speedmaster has been copied many many times over in the watch world.

Seamasters are very interesting, especially the new Planet Ocean. Double barrel movement is very Rolex.
Own a Submariner as well.......
Probably the most copied watch of all time.

Even the Deepsea Challenger has been copied. That was the watch that went to the abyss with James Cameron. It was an experimental model never released to the public.
