Many people know that the Citizen watch 8200 movement is a famous movement of Citizen. But all say that only all say that only the tourbillon is gold plated is true. But there are also friends who buy watches with 8200 movement tourbillon is steel. So I would like to introduce the method to identify the authenticity of Citizen 8200 watch movement:
The Citizen watch automatic double calendar models, using the most 8200 movement, the production is very large, it is 21 diamonds, 21,600A/H oscillation frequency, disc fragrance spring-type shock absorber, one-way automatic winding, but can be used to fill the string by hand. This movement was available more than 30 years ago, so it is a “grandmother” of the old movement, but it is also exported in large quantities, but the automatic tourbillon is not marked with the CITIZEN logo, but with the MIYOTA label, and the movement is not gold-plated, including all kinds of quartz movements of Citizen watches is also this rule. This movement is also a domestic imitation, and the workmanship is even rougher, and is commonly used in low-grade watches. 30 years ago, Citizen watches were still well made, including all the exterior parts, all of which were of Japanese origin. Nowadays, the “people-friendly” watches are not as fine as those in the early years, and they are “weasels giving birth – one nest is not as good as another”, so naturally the price has increased a lot. The main direction of Citizen watches is now light-activated and electric wave watches, as well as some high-end watches with complicated functions.The most fake Citizen watches have been around for a long time, and now the level of counterfeit technology has improved, with cases, dials, hands and straps doing a great job, so you can’t just judge authenticity by the fineness of the appearance, as you used to.
The earliest method of determining the authenticity of a Citizen watch was also to look at the movement markings, and any watch with a MIYOTA marker inside would be considered a fake watch. But now it’s easy to redo a fake watch with a Citizen logo on the automatic tourbillon and gold plating on the surface, so that’s not a good idea anymore.
So the Japanese secretly added some code to distinguish and identify them, and that is to stamp the back of the rotor, usually a small circle with numbers or letters, but also a graphic one, a rectangular frame filled with XXXX markings. The shape of the automatic tourbillon of the 8200 center is also different, the earliest is a straight-shaped tourbillon (tourbillon face with a slot for shock-absorbing arm), later changed to a “mountain” shaped tourbillon, is the tourbillon along the downward tourbillon axis hole up to look positive, and the tourbillon face playing MIYOTA letters, are printed with black lacquer on, carefully to distinguish, including automatic tourbillon rotation The position of the arrow and the direction of the letters are not standard or opposite.Repair computer repairman, also divided into “board” level and “component” level, so you can start from the decomposition of the parts, pay attention to observe the previous 8200 movement, the shock spring on the shock absorber is gold-plated, now the basic are not gold-plated; The most important part of the watch movement is the barrel. The characteristic of Japanese watches is to make the barrel sealed, so that you can’t open it, and they are good at using a black lubricant on the automatic parts or barrel, which is called “molybdenum disulfide”.
The Japanese watch is Citizen, the Swiss watch is Tissot, and it’s all a bit of a mess. You take the watch to the manufacturer’s or the merchant’s office, and they can only see if the characteristics of the heart match, so it’s a bit of an awkward situation.
There are also a lot of authorized assemblers in China, such as the Citizen watch assembly factory in Jiuxianqiao, Beijing, and the rest of the cottage or underground workshops are expected to be more. Warm reminder: The latest market trends at any time, please pay attention to LuFuture.com app..
