Chinese Automatic TY2530 Movement


Recommended Posts

Hello and a happy new year to you all[emoji106]

 

I just bought a TY2530 automatic movement (Chinese) which is complete albeit in pieces. I will be surprised if it’s all there, but I’m told it is. My question is, does anyone know where I might be able to obtain an assembly diagram for this movement please? Most calendar / automatics are within my skill range to rebuild but there seems to be other complications on this watch which I’m sure will beat me - such as a spring power indicator and also another sweeping hand in the 9 o’clock position (seconds?)

 

This is a replica panerai piece of junk, but it will be good experience and practice to rebuild it. The balance swings beautifully even without me cleaning and lubricating it, although I have read this is because the factory purposely ships them dry, giving high accuracy but only for a short while until the pivots begin to wear (is this true?).

 

Any help on where I might find an exploded diagram is much appreciated please. Thanks all.

 

Regards

Deggsie

Thanks watchweasol. At that price, I might just buy a complete movement and strip it down making my own photographic record as I go. The movement I have is quite smart with a gold finish and all visible screws are polished blue, so would like to see it reassembled again.

Kind regards

Hi Nucejoe. Well, last night I spent an hour on just the basic watch and got all back together. Sadly I cannot wind it as a gear and associated wheel are missing. I thing it’s called the ‘waggle wheel’. It pivots on an elliptical axle, allowing engagement only when the movement is being wound.

Annoying that this is missing! [emoji51]

Kind regards

Hi watchweasel. sorry for the late reply I’ve been a bit busy recently and only just managed to check in here. I shall look out for a working TY2530 and use it as a donor to. I only gave a few pounds for it anyway

It’s the same with all Chinese movements, no tech sheets or dimensions, not even stem height or feet positions......unless someone knows better?

Not all Chinese are the same. For the leading brand Seagull casing drawings are available, at least in Chinese, because are needed to make a case for it. But not service sheets and the like. They only care about selling in quantity, then if as a big customers you have faulty mov'ts they will give you an extra discount on the next order and that's it. No surprise that no reputable brand or microbrand uses them.

Thank you for the info. Do you have a link for drawings ?

I don't, simply because there are no public websites that. With  "available" I meant to say that once you get in touch with the sales representative, usually in Hong Kong, one may be able to obtain these - of course in in Chinese. Welcome to the New World.

    • Hello and welcome from Leeds,England.  Ask away. 
    • What cutter are you using can you video the action 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement. 
    • if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
