There are many movements from the 1950s to 1970s that are not to be missed by watch lovers, including IWC’s 85 series, PP’s 460, Omega’s five series, and JLC’s 920 (PP28-255, AP 2120, VC 1120), and of course Rolex’s 15 series family, especially 1570. Among them, 1570 is the most worth owning because its brand value exceeds IWC and Omega and is cheaper than PP and JLC. It is a high-quality movement with excellent design, superior performance, accurate timekeeping, and durability. It must be introduced to friends who love watches, and you must also own it in your watch collection process. Cheap fake Rolex.
Seeking “watches” to be present, sincerity “core” is the most important.
Modern new watches are mostly “mass-produced” or newly developed with computer testing to simulate a 30-year service life. However, there is a big gap between computer testing and actual use. Everyone’s living environment and wearing conditions are different. Suppose used in “dangerous conditions,” modern watches are straightforward to fail. I often hear that a particular high-end brand watch needs to be more accurate at best, with a direction error of more than ten seconds, or even stops winding smoothly, and there are escapement systems such as horse failure and hairspring falling off. Recently, a high-end brand was priced at at least 20,000 US dollars, and its speed adjustment is only the design of the speed needle. Is the so-called self-made movement actually at this level? At least the thread fine-tuning should be worthy of consumers. Replica watches for sale.
New watches also need fixing. For example, you must use your fingers to turn the crown to wind the watch daily, but the core is as thin as a needle. Strangely, it only malfunctions over time. In addition, the winding system or ball bearings design often needs fixing. When problems occur, the repair costs are shockingly high. This logic is unreasonable. The author’s collection includes new, old, and antique watches. New watches have many styles and significant performance changes. Old watches are low-key and have connotations. Antique watches have classic appearances and a sincere and high-quality “core.” They are worth playing with and owning. Although only a few people play with old things, the number decreases daily. If you want to own one, you must act quickly. Among them, the most recommended is 1570.
“Red Wheel” is synonymous with Rolex.
The Rolex 15 series movement was launched in the late 1950s. The entire series has at least more than ten models, with movement numbers ranging from 1520 to 1580. The vibration frequency is 18000 and 19800. The balance wheel also has two types: ring (such as 1520) and screw balance wheel. Most of them have observatory certification. It is extraordinary that they all use the “red wheel,” with the highest recognition of the Rolex movement, which has almost become synonymous with Rolex. The “red wheel” is an essential component of the automatic winding system. There are two arc-shaped hooks and anti-reverse devices inside, which can only make the saw-shaped gear move forward or stop, but not backward, so the red clutch wheel can be driven to achieve a two-way winding action. The noise is low during operation, and the winding efficiency is also good. The design of the red wheel is unique to Rolex. It has wear resistance and low noise as long as the Rolex watch is equipped with the “red wheel” and is precious. Among so many movement numbers, 1570 is the most classic and high-quality.
The vibration frequency of 1570 is 19800. Generally, the escapement mechanism is one of the keys to distinguishing the movement’s quality. 1570 uses a screw balance wheel, and the four screws inside the balance wheel can be used to fine-tune the speed. The Microstella system of Rolex is very effective, with a precision of up to one second, and the grade is very high, especially when coupled with the double-layer hairspring that Rolex has always used (most of 1570 are made of blue steel), which further highlights the traditional watchmaking craftsmanship. So far, Rolex has entirely replaced the double-layer hairspring, which is unique among all brands and is very remarkable.
1570 = Durable, accurate
Xiao Yu has such a high opinion of 1570 because he has accumulated decades of maintenance experience. Rolex watches have the lowest failure rate among all brands, and 1570 is the most sophisticated in Xiao Yu’s eyes. A good movement not only has to be accurate but also durable. Rolex launched 1570 mainly for “daily use watches.” Its conditions are durability, accuracy, and easy maintenance. 1570 has all these elements. What it is most proud of is that the automatic core is excellent. The automatic winding mechanism 1570 differs from the currently commonly used ball bearings. It uses the automatic core to carry the automatic disk. As long as it is used commonly, there will be no too many problems. Because it is a two-way winding design, the winding performance is good, and the fixing screws of the automatic winding base are also extremely strong. Everything is designed for durability.
Rolex 1803 with 15 series movement
Another watch worth collecting with the Rolex 15 family movement is the 1803, which has a calendar and week display performance, commonly known as an “open skylight.” The widely used model is 1556. The most significant difference from 1570 is that it has a weak display. 1803 is one level higher than 1601 and is only made of precious metals. The “open skylight” watch belongs to a higher level in the Rolex series. So far, it has developed several improved models, among which 1803 is the most worth collecting because it is equipped with Rolex’s best 15 series movement. In addition, the 1560 movement in the 15 series has a hairspring anti-twist lever above the balance wheel of the escapement mechanism. This design is to prevent the hairspring from jumping out when the movement is hit, which may get stuck in the hairspring head and affect the operation of the movement. This design can also be seen in the early chronograph movement 722. This structure is sporadic in other brands.
The classic 1570 is known as one of the best movements in the 20th century. It is designed and manufactured in full compliance with the essence of traditional watchmaking, with a double-layer hairspring, Microstella fine-tuning mechanism, “red wheel,” and durable performance. After nearly 50 years of tempering, its average failure rate is low and almost invincible. If you want to find a rival for 1570, only PP’s 460 can compete. After another 50 years, 1570 will still be durable, accurate, and charming. Now, you can go to a second-hand watch store or website to find a 1601 equipped with a 1570 movement because it is the best watch in the world for one thousand dollars worth owning and collecting.
