Santos de cartier!


Recommended Posts

Hi guy’s! Can anyone tell me what’s the genuine cal movement for a santos de cartier watch please! The watch is a AAA copy & at the moment it’s running with a VJ23 S11 quartz movement! I’m looking for a good replacement genuine movement or next best ETA! cheers!

Please let me expose my personal opinion, the watch is counterfeit and as such will remain no matter what is done to it.

You can, of course do some research to identify a mo.t similar in size to what is in there now.

Yeah i know all about the watch mate! I think the original movement is the cartier 687 cal which i can get a replacement one from the usa, i was l thinking a nice ETA movement, just need to size it up!

There are a lot of things to consider when changing from one movement to another. Biggest concerns (after diameter) are height, dial feet positions, and stem height.

 

Googling the movement that's in gets garbledygook and then this thread; do you have any further info?

Yeah thanks for the info mate! I’ve got all the dimensions i need size wise off the hattori vj23 movement thats in the watch at the moment! It would be nice to know what the original cal movement cartier would use in the said watch mate! Just for reference purposes!

    • I would try the vapour treatment very simple just a simmering pot of the stuff and jewels bluetacked ( not whitetacked this time, you still haven't said if I'm forgiven yet 🙂 ) to the underside of the lid. You're now gonna tell stearic acid can be highly explosive above 90° C 🤣
    • I guess it also depends on the precision and quality of the watch. He works on vintage watches mainly and surface treatments on 50 - 60 year old watches probably isn't going to make much difference. I read about nano coatings for car finishes. The article claims that nano coatings can reduced the coefficient of drag by 5%. Is that number significant? I don't know. Maybe if you were trying to break the land speed record. But applying that on a 50 year old clunker isn't going to make it go any faster, accelerate better or save on petrol. 🤣
    • 😅 yep certainly overdid it , i wasn't sure if i had enough heat so i went out and left it cooking. You can see the thick frosting, bit like my cherry buns.
    • 5 hours! You have slow cooked it! It must be really tender by now. @nickelsilver posted about his Greiner machine a while back. It had a heated chamber of stearic acid to epilame jewels and it only took 60 seconds. I've tried stearic acid dissolved in ethanol with a flake of shellac. I'm not really convinced by my test results. I conducted a side by side test by coating a mirror with a stripe of stearic acid and putting several drops of 9010 on the treated surface and untreated surface and observed it for several days. The 9010 spread out about the same for both the treated and untreated surfaces. I spoke with my mentor recently regarding epilame and lubricating pallet jewels. He has stopped doing both because he finds no significant improvements to the end result.
