New Released Clean 3285 Movement(from Dandong) Compared With GEN and Shanghai 3285 Movement

[CTime]

Thank you my Friend. If I see it right, the watch seems to be in a very good condition?!

Yes, it's good

question I just got mine a few weeks ago and when you set the GMT say 6 hours ahead it for some reason does not hold and looses hours as the watch runs through the day,
I experience this with the older movement but I thought the new would be different and address the discrepancy?

This should go for 24 hours around the dial, it’s not on 12 hours. You should set it to gmt time which is military time in 24 hour format.

You need to read the 2nd time zone from the bezel not the dial

The video was taken down on YouTube. Does the clean or the Chinese movement both have the jumping hour hand like the gen while adjusting date and GMT.

Yes. The DD3285 and SH3285 do this. Others do to but answer limited to the scope of this post.

So my DD3285 movement broke down yesterday. Short after purchase the handwinding function doesn’t work anymore, so it won’t wind by hand. Now the automatic wind doesn’t work anymore. Wearing or shaking the watch just get the second hand to move two seconds and stops again. Looks like the mainspring doesn’t store power anymore. Anyone on what to do?

You will need a watchsmith to have a look first

So I've tried it myself. Look like it solved the problem for now. Screwed the caseback open and removed the balance wheel, pulled out the crown pin to it's furthest position, placed it back, wind the movement by hand without the balance wheel installed and it came back to life. Installed the balance wheel and cleaned the caseback rubber and some other rubbish on the edges. Hand winding works fine, not sure if the balance wheel still does its job, we'll see.

I hope you know what you are doing. Watchsmiths are professionals, not douchebags who just know what a skrewdriver is..

Someone knows if Clean GMT hands for 3186 are good fit also on DD3285?

I believe you're referring to the rotor, not the balance wheel. A watch cannot run if the balance is removed. The rotor works to wind the mainspring via the auto wind gearing.

I think he assembled it and it all works now. But I could be reading this wrong.

Similar question (hopefully not too much off topic). Does anyone know whether the bracelet of the GMT Master 2 is exchangeable between C+F and Clean? Would like to switch a Jubilee between those two
