HWG 11 Posted December 16, 2018 Ok, I've got this homage, and I love it. Its big, its ugly, and I'm quite fond of it. The auto movement inside is all fouled up. A couple of years ago, the watch would not wind. So, I took the rotor off, and manually wound it. It worked for a while, Then it suddenly stopped after a full wind. Now the dateweheel is hard to advance. Some parts have since been lost, and I feel it is best to replace the movement. But, I can see zero markings on it. I need some assistance. Or perhaps, one of you has a similar piece laying around that I can cannibalize the movement from. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HWG 11 Posted December 28, 2018 Just a quick update... got the movement delivered from HK, and did the swap last night. It was a little tedious and I lost one of the movement holder tab screws. But, I have my ugly beast running smoothly again. Thanks for the help guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
