I have a 39 year old Citizen with a Miyota 8200 movement that's never been serviced and it gets +/-3 seconds a day.

I just returned to watch videos as a prime distraction, and I prefer my distractions to at least feel educational. I am so glad I caught this video in particular, because it's not only actually educational, but it's a huge chunk of my DIY watch knowledge that was missing! Thank you for the work, Teddy. It is sincerely appreciated.
@randomhandle
Yes, Teddy B. This is the level of nerdiness I was looking for. Thanks.
@jeffm0518
One of our best videos ever. In my humble opinion, this is one of the most educational watch videos I have ever seen. I actually made notes so I would remember what you were saying about each one. TY for putting in ALL the work. You make it easy for the rest of us!
@gpaje
I love the NH35 movement, out of the box in a cheap watch it can be a bit off than you prefer, but a tiny adjustment on the balance wheel adjuster can get it within a few seconds per day, even without a timegrapher. I have one in my first automatic, a Invicta Dive watch, that hasn't been serviced in over 10 years, and it's within a few seconds per day.
@sethmoyer
Honestly if I see that a watch has a Seiko Instruments or ETA movement, or even some of the Miyota ones, I know that it's going to run great and be easy to find someone who is willing to service it.
@manoflego123
When I hear that a microbrand watch uses a Seiko movement I take that as a sign of quality. My first automatic was an SNK805, and while the 7S26 isn't the best in the world it has yet to let me down.
@Podcastage
Great video Teddy. This was extremely educational and must have taken a lot of research.
@katyreese5925
You read my mind!! I was trying to work up the courage to reach out to you to request this EXACT CONTENT! Am happy to have a base level understanding of the movements and inner workings of the watches I study and covet. More information like this is appreciated!
@markgrieves1307
Wow Teddy. That was an education! Thank you.
@Wrex327
Huge pill of knowledge, huge amount of research. I love videos like that and this is what separates you from another watch youtubers that I know. We beg for more!

In the beginning of my watch collecting journey i was all about in-house movements. While they are great and Rolex, Seiko, Tudor, Omega, Breitling, Zenith, JLC, Patek, VC, and so on make some reliable and proven movements. But they cost quite a bit to service. Now i honestly appreciate the utility, reliability, and serviceability of ETA and Miyota movements. It doesn't bother me if a watch has one. They are accurate and reliable. The service costs are half of what a in-house movement service is. While im totally fine with ETA, if i had the choice i almost prefer the Miyota. Its still quite accurate and reliable. I dont mind the rotor noise and usually the watch can be alot thinner than the ETA counterpart. If im spending 5 grand obviously i don't want a miyota movement but you get the point.
@coffeeisgood102
Having a background in clock repair, movements are always high on my list when choosing a watch. A watch is only as good as it’s movement. Thanks for sharing this important info to your viewers.

My daily wear watch is using a Miyota 9039. I regulated it myself over the course of about a week... carefully adjusting it back and forth until it consistently runs +1 second per day. This morning I woke up and it was 1/2 second fast from where I hacked it 24 hours before. It can go a few days without deviating by a second or two. It is a fantastic movement. There's nothing practically more that an in-house movement can give you.

Hi Teddy! Since I got the impression that you like the german brands as much as we do here in Austria, I have a fun fact for you. Here in Austria (south of Germany) it is tradition to gift a Junghans to your son or daughter at "the first holy communion" or after you finished the "Matura" ( google: higher school certification?). It has to be worn by the father and represents the continous lifeline beyond generational borders. The luck of the father goes down to his children and shall grant them their own luck in life under the protecting eyes of the father. Kids are around 14 at communion and 18 at the "Matura" so, they are just starting out getting some experience. It has to be a Junghans, because the brand was regarded as a "proper watch, that doesn`t fail" but left space on top to be more successful to buy a more luxurious watch. (The next step yould be a Rolex for medical doctors or atorneys) I just wanted to let you know, that there are cultures in the world, that share your appreciation for the german watch brands.
@jodysilvia2
Your wealth of knowledge is impressive Teddy.

Hi Teddy, Some useful tips for the newer collectors. Some points to add: 1. In-house does not mean better. Remember that patek has used Lemania chronograph movements for the longest time. It’s not in-house n The royal oak and nautilus and 222 all used the JLC 2121. So let’s get real and tell it as it is. 2. Reliability and accuracy and finishing. If you have a solid caseback, you want reliability and accuracy. Also ease of servicing. 3. When some high-end brands use an ETA 2892-2 movement(as an example) they do not just plonk in the movement. They often modify said movement. Using it as an ebauch. 4. Modular chronograph movements can be way cheaper to have serviced. Why? Well, often there is no need to service the chronograph module. Just the underlying base movement. Hope this helps newer collectors. Don’t believe all the fluff you hear. Often it’s just that … fluff. Best, Marc I run the Girard-Perregaux laureato Fan club FB group. All are welcome.
@campshay19
Movements usually set the price of the watch. So it's good to know what movement is in the watch you are getting so you don't over pay. Some microbrands will sell a $1000 watch with a NH35 in it which is absurd.

I have four Valjoux 7750-based chronos. It's like wearing wobbly hockey pucks on my wrists and I love them all.
