Repair or Replace, Miyota movement?

[feeder22 0]

I've got an Omega seamaster I brought via M2M here a fair while ago,  that doesn't hold any sort of power reserve. Gotta give it a shake to get it going, the time it takes to stop again varies from 30 seconds to about an hour. 

 

Question is do I lump on another watch or see if I can get this one repaired or have the movement swapped? What say you?

Miyota movements are readily available, and pretty cheap. Depending on how much you like the watch, I say just swap the movement.

Swap it out, cheap and easy.  If you can't do it, sell it and buy a new one.

Pictures of the watch and the movement will be a big help.

Older rep Seamaster has A2824 movement. They are also inexpensive to swap out.

I'll get some uploaded on the asap.

Also any pointers to getting the movement swapped out please?

If you have never swapped out a movement then here is tip #1

Seriously, put the watch inside when you are taking the hands off otherwise you will most likely catch a gimps of them as they fly off the dial into  never never land.

I use a presto hand remover, keeps control of them, I use hand levers every now and then just ease them up, but the bag is a good tip mate

And a big white towel laid out on the table, catches flying parts and you can see em easy
