OlympusDaytona 49 Posted May 18, 2012 I have one of those 'tonas with the day, 24 hour, date function dials and as I was trying to regulate the movement I accidentally snagged the mainspring. I thought winding it would bring it back to normal but it kind of moved outwards more... Is that worth getting repaired? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nuker 30 Posted May 18, 2012 Ouch..it's easier to replace balance wheel with new hairspring methinks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OlympusDaytona 49 Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Any buffs out there know what movement is in it? I've been assuming its a 21J but my research hasn't found a solid answer since these reps aren't sought after Edited May 18, 2012 by OlympusDaytona Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
offshore 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Ummmmm?? Hairspring???? Doesn't look much like a mainspring to me. O/S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiz 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Yup, that's the hairspring, the mainspring is inside the barrel. Assuming you can find a replacement, and including the cost of labour, the total cost might be close to the price of the watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

powderfreak 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Swap the movement for a new 21j, buying only spare parts (next to impossible?) and the labour cost is too high I think... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted May 20, 2012 Calculate the shipping cost to modder / watch repairer (around 16€ there and back) , new movement (I see it is faux chrono, so probably around 10-20€ from other donor watch or direct replacement movement), the movement replace (5-10€ for the job) = 31-46€ will cost you the replacement, and check how much the watch cost you. Or it can be always saved with direct replacement of balancewheel part... If someone has stock. That would be cheapest and most easiest way and should not be more expensive then 21€. But the repairer must have the spare part from other donor watch from same movement type... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
