Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which watch movements is this automatic rotor hammer patch compatible with?
A: This rotor patch is specifically designed to fit NH35, NH36, 4R35, 4R36, and 7S series automatic movements. It is commonly used in SKX007, SKX009, and other watches or watch mod builds that house these movement types.
Q: What does the rotor hammer patch do in an automatic movement?
