Bought this watch in question

supposedly repaired within a month of sending back. would rather just try & fix stateside versus sending back waiting for 6 months. maybe im not winding it enough because it stops keeping time and now ultimately it wont keep time altogether. read about asian 7550 is a dry movement. dont care for actual rolex movement as long as it just keeps time reliably. maybe i expected too much from a 375.00 knockoff? i just had hoped for keeping time?

The moral of the story would be don't waste money on Chinese fake watches, $375.00 dollars can buy a very good Swiss or Japanese watch these days backed up with a warranty.

Get your money back if you can and don't waste your time trying to sort something that will only ever be sub standard.

I would not recommend any fake or replica watches to anyone. There are good watches available that use either Swiss or Japanese movements that will perform well and don't cost the earth, Tissot, Hamilton, Eterna, Breil, Zeno, Revue Thommen and Glycine watches can all be had at discount sites  such as Mass Drop, TKmaxx, Joma, Gemnation and many at around the $300 to $400 dollar range. 

I have had a Breil Mantra watch for 6 years using a Miyota movement the case and bracelet quality are fantastic.

      School Me Please: Sliding Mainspring Bridles

      By caseback · Posted

      This is the old/first(?) way for making a mainspring for an automatic. "Evolution-wise" it is an logical first step forward from a standard spring. Usually these are indeed replaced with a new spring with an integrated/fixed bridle. Lubrication as you would do with any automatic.

      Unknown watch movement logo. Very interesting

      Thank you. I was informed it was a cheap worthless Lack watch from India. It’s in a small mens watch looks to be around 1930 odd   Cleaned the movement and it’s going really well. Keeps good time.  This is a great site. Mystery solved. I’m obliged.

      School Me Please: Sliding Mainspring Bridles

      By RickTock · Posted

      I'm working on a Schild AS 1250 (a 'bumper' automatic) and it's the first time I've seen a mainspring like this. It has what looks like a regular manual-wind mainspring with a 'hook' at its outer extremity. On a manual-wind watch that 'hook' would engage with a 'hook' in the barrel wall to prevent it from rotating. However, the AS 1250's mainspring does not engage directly with the barrel but rather with a 'sliding bridle' that sits between the mainspring and the barrel wall, and evidently facilitates the slip necessary in an automatic. I'm not sure what advantage this two-piece configuration provides, but it highlights a gap (one of many) in my horological knowledge. I'm not sure if 'hook' is the correct term as used above, but please see photo below to see what I mean. Therefore, two questions please. 1. What is the proper way to lubricate a barrel from an automatic watch with a sliding bridle? My guess is the same as any automatic ms/barrel (e.g, a few dabs of braking grease on the interior barrel wall). What do the experts say? 2. I purchased a Generale Ressorts GR3472X mainspring, made for the AS 1250. It looks like the bridle is included and I don't need to salvage and re-use the old one. Is this a safe assumption? Thanks for the advice. If you have any other wisdom you'd like to share about separate sliding mainspring bridles, I would be very interested. Cheers!
