New here :) Got a question about which movements are easiest to maintain

Recommended Posts

SpeedThrash

Yes I read the RWI post about watch movements. But more specifically, I've looked into what the watches I like on chazingtime use, and these are some of the movements I've found. Can anyone tell me if these specific movements would cause me problems? I am hoping if I pay 400 for a watch it'll work for years.

 

- Custom Designed Slim Asian automatic chronograph movement at 28800 vph by ZF Maker (Same thickness as original IWC 79350 Calibre Movement)
- Asian 6498 manual winding movement decorate to IWC Cal.98245 movement
- New IWC 52850 Movement Clone. Base Movement: Asian 23J automatic movement; Decoration: Platinum plated movement plate and rotor which are made according to the genuine movement
- New A. Lange & Sohne 88275 Movement Clone. Base Movement: Asian 2824 automatic movement at 28800vph; Decoration: Platinum plated movement plate and rotor which are made according to the genuine movement, the best looking A. Lange & Sohne 88275 Movement Clone at the moment.
- Base Movement: Asian 23J automatic movement .Decoration: Platinum plated movement plate and rotor which are made according to the genuine movement, 
- Base Movement: Asian 23J automatic movement; Decoration: Platinum plated movement plate and rotor which are made according to the genuine movement, the best looking Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 939 movement

I'd be interested in this, too. I've read the RWI article as well and it seems non-chrono functions are more reliable.

Why twice the same post?

Because he thought ... the more of the same topics he posted ... the faster he will get the answer ... Kakaka!

Most of these movements are based on something else - the problem is that it's not always clear what they're based on..

Of the ones you mention:

6498 = generally bomb-proof.

A2824 Good, reliable movement - straightforward to service.

Asian 23J auto... depends on WHICH Asian 23J auto ;)

I’ve had great luck with 6497/6498 clones in the past.  Generally the simpler the movement the easier it is to maintain
