So we have a worst redials thread, how about a worst movements thread too.

I'll start.

 

This one is pretty bad, too:

 

@Archer can fix that.

 

greek wisdom... a timepiece made by the gods

 

this one is, the holy grail

 

I hope so. Not what you expect when opening a Seamaster Calendar from the fifties. The quick set date is shot

 

The 1650's?

 

Subtle...

 

I wouldn't call this a bad movement, rather an optimized prototype. Needs fewer parts than the original.

 

Somebody here saved me from buying some sicura watches...

... I bought a good zenith here in the forum instead

 

It was @dougiedude ,s paperclip movement

 

Reading the title, my first thought was "yes, yesterday morning before coffee."
Then I read the posts.

 

You aren't a fan of the Speedmaster movement, I take it? Or am I missing something obviously wrong with it?

 

If I had to guess, I think he is just trying to "show it off". I could be wrong.

 

Did you not look carefully at the movement ( @Archer saved the day and highlights problem in pic below )


Years ago a member sold this watch with a paperclip in the movement to another member
Grab a coffee and read this roller coaster

I see. I am not good enough to spot the clip and have not been here long enough to know of the thread. Reading now.

Edit: Read that thread and feel bad for Doug. Mostly, it made me feel good about this community, with people helping each other. I even feel the seller ultimately did the right thing.

 

Thanks, that's an interesting read. Not being a watch-maker or knowing the history of that particular watch, the problem didn't jump out at me. I recognized the movement, at least.

 

The Antikythera mechanism.
Let's wait to see how turns a Speedy movement in 2000 years
