Which watch timer?


Tmuir

Recommended Posts

I've got some money to burn so I'm thinking about buying a watch timer.

I don't want to go down the path of building a microphone stand and using a laptop and cant afford the high end ones, so I'm thinking about one of the Chinese ones.

Looking at ebay I cant really see much difference between the  MTG-2000 and the MTG-3000.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is and whether its worth spending the extra $50?

Thanks Tony

I've got the chinese weichi 1000, nice and basic but it works, I got mine from amazon, felt I had abit more buyer protection ( thankfully I had as my first one went belly up) my second one is flawless and very handy, and shows people what their watches are running like before I attack them and then afterwards.

I have now a a 1900 and the difference is worth it. Much better color display to know the direction to move the arm to correct beat error, few more settings, auto power off. There is another thread with more in depth discussion. For a good saving buy on aliexpress not eBay.

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
