MikeMcNair 0 Posted June 28, 2010 so, i am not entirely new to the rep game having had 5 or 6 noobmariners in various colors etc. i have also had a Breitling Bentley rep (which was WAY too big for my arm). i have a gen Tag Formula1 Alarm which is a pretty nice piece (pictured below) and have been pleased with it, but i am getting back in to the noobmariners and will shortly be buying one of the blue faced ceramic subs since they are just plain beautiful!! anyhow, this thread is here because i am looking for help. i have a rep yacht master that is in need of some surgery. basically, the second hand stopped moving, thus the rest of the hands, a few years ago and i never did anything about it. since i am getting back into the game, i decided to pull her out and see if i could take off the back and find some obvious obstruction preventing it from functioning properly. sadly, when taking it apart, i very quickly realized i was in over my head. so i am looking for help, and perhaps a person to actually repair it for me. i am sure i am capable if i had the appropriate instruction, however i think it would be best to just ship her out and have someone repair her. so i am open to suggestions. here are the pics.... (sorry for the quality, they are from my iPhone) here is the gen Tag........ thanks in advance for your help!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted June 28, 2010 What happened to the rotor on your movement? It's a cheap Asian 21j movement. You're better off having someone install a new movement. Fakemaster might be interested. Also if might help to know your location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeMcNair 0 Posted June 28, 2010 thanks for the fast replies!!! as for the rotor, it is simply taken off to peek under it, i was hoping to find a clue to its lack of functionality. i agree it is "cheap", but i did not know it was a 21j Asian type, honestly i cant tell which i which unless it says it on the movement unit itself. sooooo, where does one get a new movement? also, the crown unscrews, but does NOT come free at all. any clues on how to get that sucker out? i clearly need that out to be able to install a new movement.
