The Secret Of The Red Automatic Wheel, Replica Rolex Watch

I like how Hong Kong people call watch movements “meat.”

A watch, the shell is the body, and the movement is the flesh;

When it works, it is a soulful partner.

Rolex’s movement is called “red meat” among the many movements.

Because when you open the back cover, a pair of dark red gears come out.

This pair of red gears, known as the “red wheels,” is the crucial mechanism for Rolex’s two-way automatic winding.

The “Red Wheel” is also made of alloy and covered with Teflon coating, so it operates with low noise, is rust-proof, and is wear-resistant.

But the principle of efficient winding must be turned over and looked at behind. Its subtlety lies in a pair of anti-reversal hook devices.

Suppose the automatic rotor drives the small gear on the axis (referred to as a car) to rotate counterclockwise. In that case, the red wheel on the right will rotate clockwise, and the hook device inside will slide through the saw-shaped gear one after another. , slipping and making no force; at the same time, the red wheel on the left rotates counterclockwise, and the hook block device hooks and blocks the saw gear, driving it to rotate counterclockwise, and then acts on the large gear connected to the barrel. Please refer to the figure below. Replica rolex watch.

Simple yet complex, direct yet clever.

In this way, whether the automatic rotor rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, the two “red wheels” work together to coordinate work and rest and serve the efficient winding. Swiss models.

Nowadays, in the 32 series of movements, the red wheel has the same principle, but it has been turned over and is suspected of being “shrunk.”

Without the large red wheel, the machine meat loses beautiful scenery, and it is no longer accessible to call it “red meat.”

Will the term “red meat” fade away in the future? Just like “Bubbleback,” “Coffin Boy,” “Railway,” “Stretcher,” “Ivy,” “Gold Silver Run,” and “And Steel King,” no one cares…

I feel uncomfortable in my heart, but while remembering the past, I hope the new things will stand the test of time.
