[Chinese Mvmnt thread]-[AutoChrono]- What's out there?
I guess most of the folks here knows that Chinese Chronograph movements do not limit in hand-winders only by now...

Let's share what had you found from other makers using this budget friendly, yet doesn't loose out in quality movement.

dun see many auto chronos using chinese movt out there except for movas & ticino



obris morgan might have a model using chinese chrono movt in near future if not wrong

Nice, but can anyone advice if servcing would be expensive and if there is any local watch repair for these movements?

Looks like a common design to follow.

Woah would love to see OM offer a Chinese auto chrono, they should be able to deliver a solid product at good price versus other micros

just had a small chat with Justin(obris morgan), they are still looking around for a reliable auto chrono movt and will not be using a chinese movt

looks like the NE88 will be the potential candidate as AUTOCHRONO alternative from the EAST... Torsten Nagengast of Germany had used that for 2 of his watches in his regular production range.

However the only thing about NE88... is the limited serviceability which was mentioned in one of the WatchUSeek discussion thread...

I had been looking into Russian pieces recently. Most of the time targetting on 31679 or 31659/77 calibre watches. During the search, such "BERITLING Inspired" design seems quite common. But the MC NightHunter is the only model out there using Chinese AutoChrono...

Russian will have the same challenge too.. but they are more reliable so chances are low

I wonder who else besides red army watches can service Russian movements here in SG ?

Re: [Chinese Mvmnt thread]-[AutoChrono]- What's out there?
My concern for chinese movements are still the servicing. This is the only thing that is holding me back from getting 1.

Re: [Chinese Mvmnt thread]-[AutoChrono]- What's out there?
Yup hence it is risky to buy a more expensive Chinese movement powered watch? Hmm perhaps the people at movas watches can service repair Chinese mechanicals since they use such movements in all of their watches?

I think they only service their own products? :shock:
