feeder22 0 Posted May 31, 2018 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RepGuy 108 Posted May 31, 2018 Miyota movements are readily available, and pretty cheap. Depending on how much you like the watch, I say just swap the movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 13,762 Posted May 31, 2018 Swap it out, cheap and easy. If you can't do it, sell it and buy a new one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Older rep Seamaster has A2824 movement. They are also inexpensive to swap out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feeder22 0 Posted June 2, 2018 I'll get some uploaded on the asap. Also any pointers to getting the movement swapped out please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WatchDog21 3,345 Posted June 2, 2018 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.

TRANSPORTER 1 Posted June 17, 2018 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
