seiko watch's disassembly parts
The production of precision watches depends on the joint efforts of several regular factories. Among them, the most important thing is the sponsor. At first, the sponsors have to predict the market situation, and then determine the watch styles that need to be counterfeited. They will go directly to buy genuine watches at the counter and completely disassemble them. Send different parts to different manufacturers, such as movement manufacturers, shell manufacturers, watch chain manufacturers, literal manufacturers and packaging manufacturers, and let them open the mold one by one. Finally, the promoters will concentrate all these parts and then hand them over to the assembly manufacturers for assembly.
The manufacturer directly involved in the production of a component of Seiko Table cannot be an underground factory, but is definitely a regular manufacturer registered by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and there are also subsidiaries of listed companies. These factories definitely don't rely solely on the production of precision watches, but also take orders from other brands of watches. Their manufacturing level and processing environment are even better than some state-owned brands in China.
according to the law, it is illegal to produce precision watches, so why are these regular manufacturers willing to take risks for this little money? That's because all the parts produced by these regular manufacturers have no "brand logo". What regular manufacturers have to do is to open the mold of the parts sent by the sponsors of Seiko Watch production to produce exactly the same parts, which is not illegal. They are just an ordinary link in the production of precision watches, and what really breaks the law is only the promoters who string together the whole industrial chain of precision watches.
Auto-Tuo removed from the movement
The Logo on a brand watch just appears on the case, dial and clasp. The sponsor first asks a regular watch component manufacturer to provide blank parts without Logo, and then the Logo is printed by a small workshop. Such technical requirements are not high, and disk printing and metal lettering are easy to find in Guangzhou. The picture above shows the automatic movement tuo without logo, and the picture below shows the automatic tuo with logo processed by CNC engraving machine.
The carved automatic watch
Relying on these regular watch manufacturers' technologies, the innovation speed of parts production of precision watches is very, very fast, faster than domestic state-owned brands and even faster than some Swiss brands. In particular, the change of case materials, from stainless steel, titanium alloy to bronze, even ceramics and carbon fiber, can be done.
The watch case, strap, dial and other parts of Seiko watches are easy to be copied and processed. Where did the movement come from?
Since domestic watch factories such as Seagull started their business in the middle of last century by copying Swiss ETA movements that have passed the patent protection period. At present, the movements assembled by Seiko watches on the market come from domestic movement manufacturers, such as Seagull, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Dandong and Mingzhu. . . The most important one is Tianjin Seagull Watch Group. Seagull ST18, which imitates Swiss ETA2892 movement structure, seagull ST21, which imitates ETA2824, and seagull ST36, which imitates ETA6497, account for more than half of the precision watch movement production. Like the parts suppliers mentioned above, Seagull Watch will never provide any movement with any brand Logo to the originator of Seiko Watch. After buying the movement, the sponsor of Seiko Watch needs to find a manufacturer to modify and assemble it for the second time.

Longines, Mido, Tissot, IWC Universal Watch, Cartier and other watches that are originally based on ETA. When the Seiko watch manufacturer buys the rough version of the seagull movement, it must make the following transformation, polish the movement and add the brand Logo. The picture above shows the rough version of Seagull 2824 movement without logo.
it is worth noting that it was once impossible to make a complete and fine Geneva pattern in China, and many friends judged the authenticity of watches by observing whether the movement had a complete and fine Geneva pattern. But now, China has broken through this difficulty, and they have been able to polish the same Geneva pattern as the real one. Only this will increase the cost, so not all fake watches will be polished. So now don't simply use the method of observing Geneva pattern to identify the true and false, especially Tissot and Meidu. The precision watches of these two brands are easy to see!
Geneva pattern will also be made by Seiko Watch
If the watch adopts Swiss ETA movement, Seiko Watch only needs to buy seagull movement for automatic modification. Then some real watches use self-made movements, and there is no substitute in the market. Some precision watch manufacturers will transform the movements they buy in order to strive for perfection.
The movement used in Seiko Watch is still the second modification based on the movement produced by the regular watch factory, which is still relatively primary. Domestic precision watch manufacturers even imitate the movements of foreign brands completely, and the representative of them is Rolex's 3135. Although Seiko's 3135 movement has many shortcomings that a knowledgeable person can identify at a glance, it is undoubtedly a milestone in the production of fake watches in China. Seiko manufacturers have shifted from simple shell processing to complex movement. This article is taken from /bbx/1182826-1182826.html? id=2433& newsid=773499。
