MarcoF 6 Posted July 15, 2021 Hello Gents, I would like some help recognizing this movement. Comes out of a ladies omega constellation. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,509 Posted July 15, 2021 Half dismantled in this way it's not easy to understand... It kind of looks similar to a Seiko NH35 but... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarcoF 6 Posted July 15, 2021 Thank you… i’m still not sure… my watchmaker said he will replace it but he can’t recognize it. my TD says it’s a miyota 8520 but I can’t find any literature on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And surely there's not an Omega gen movement into a rep... By the way, did it broke? Because if it's not broken a service will fix it without the need of a new one...

MarcoF 6 Posted July 15, 2021 I thought so… unfortunately i’m aware TD tell white lies. I am thinking this is a chinese replica of some sort. (DG?) my watchmaker says he can’t service it and I don’t know anybody able to do it. Do you have any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not that TDs tell lies, they simply don't know A FUCK about movements They're resellers, not aficionados. They simply reply what the factory say them. Suggestions... Well, considering the cost involved into getting a new movement that probably won't even fit well and the subsequent issues... Get a new one: there are those with NH35 inside that are well made and the movement is easy to find and repair if necessary. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rx4Time 1,472 Posted July 15, 2021 Perhaps a link to where you purchased it from, Someone might know what movement is actually in there. Depending on the maker it could be a 2824/36, miyota, Seiko, dg2813, or some custom movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarcoF 6 Posted July 16, 2021 I bought it from Mary (she’s a TD here) it is from V6F factory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,509 Posted July 16, 2021 How old is this thing? I did some research and I have found only the VSF (not V6F) ones with the superclone movement (which is different)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TDFBluWaffle 15 Posted July 16, 2021 Based on the info you provided I presume it's an Seiko NH05(A) Movement. Maybe it had an Omega 8520 deco plate which confused the watchmaker. Any info on size would be very helpful. The NH05A should be 17.5mm. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
