submarinerblue 8 Posted May 18, 2015 I got this Omega Speedmaster rep a while back. It's a cheapie and not particularly authentic, but I really like it (despite what anyone else mght think). The analog movement stopped working. I replaced the battery and the digital displays work fine, but the hands still won't move. The watch is dicontinued so I doubt the TD I bought it from can help me. I also doubt my local watchmaker would condescend to deal with a rep. I might be able to replace the movement myself, but I have no idea what movement I'm looking for or where to get it. Does anyone have any ideas on where to find a replacement movement or a watchmaker who can work on a digital/analog watch? I'd hate to just toss it. I'd even ship it back to China if someone there could repair it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HTD 0 Posted May 18, 2015 Did you check if the stem is fully in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
submarinerblue 8 Posted May 18, 2015 It's in as far as it'll go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted May 18, 2015 Maybe it has 2 batteries I have an ana/digi casio like that the first battery is obvious but the second one was a pain in the arse to get at Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
submarinerblue 8 Posted May 18, 2015 Where would the second battery be, and how do you get to it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted May 18, 2015 No idea without seeing it, post a picture of the movement and I may be able to help, if not someone else might Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
submarinerblue 8 Posted May 19, 2015 Here's the back of the movement. I replaced the CR2016 battery. I don't see a second. Not sure how to remove the stem to lif out the movement. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted May 19, 2015 As far as I remember that looks like it could be a similar set up to the casio I was referencing. It had one large battery like the one you can see and one much smaller one. I'm not 100% sure but I think if you remove that top plate there may be a small battery nestled underneath somewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted May 19, 2015 Could be a dopel battery MVT, if that top plate does clip on lift it off and have a look. The MVT is some weird arse Chinese MVT, you will never find one more than likely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
submarinerblue 8 Posted May 19, 2015 Success! Took it to the local Indian (or Pakistani) watchmaker. There were, in fact, two batteries. The second one was well hidden in the movement. He spent a long time working on it and replaced both batteries for only $20. Such a deal. He didn't seem to have any problem working on a rep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottb 0 Posted June 3, 2015 Glad you got this back up and running! I noticed in another thread that you were having some problems setting the time. Did you ever get this sorted out? Are there any other features besides time and date. I managed to score one of these from a local swap meet for $10 and I'm having trouble figuring it out. Hoping the digital displays aren't purely decorative. Many thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
