Chinese Automatic TY2530 Movement

[Deggsie]

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

Hi Finding any in depth technical information on the chinese segull and other clones is had work you could try Dr Roland Ranfft who gives tech data. I will have a look in my store of onfo and see what turns up

Hi  Perrins Canada and Cousins uk stock segull TY2530 movments @ £26.50   30.40mm movement complete not come up with any sheets yet.

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

Surely not the toughest puzzle you have pieced together. I lower reassemble  standards and reassemble, less parts to figure the place of as you get to the end and I,ll be on standby .

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

Ok. This one will be bagged and tagged then put in the spares drawer. Sadly there are too many components missing and also I cannot make the pallet and escape wheel lock. [emoji53]

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.
