Thread: Quartz movement service needed. Any recommendations?

  1. #1

    Quartz movement service needed. Any recommendations?

    My dad has a very cheap, but very sentimental (visage) quartz chrono that needs a service as the seconds hand is doing its job...and that’s about all that seems to be working. I am sure I could take it to a local jeweller to ship off somewhere but thought I would see if anyone had a suggestion ? Thanks all

    Have you changed the battery?
    If so and that did not work a repacement movement might be the best way to go, relatively "cheap" and usually a DIY job.
    What movement is fitted?

    Bodo on here brought my 80’s Seiko 7a38 back to life. “Guy” is very good.

    Thanks to you both. Yes tried battery change and it’s a Miyota OS10

    Might be cheaper to replace the movement altogether. A new one from Cousins is £14.50 (+delivery & VAT)

    New movement is the way to go, some quartz chrono movements can be stripped and cleaned but they’re never easy and I would only strip one down if there was no alternative.

    Great thanks gents, I guess that’s the way to go and I can get someone to switch out. My limitations were pushed just by taking the case back off to see the movt reference

    Sorry to resurrect this but haven’t had a response from Bodo. Doesn’t look like he has been online for a while. Anyone else I could contact to get this done ? I have now received a new movement so just needs replacing rather than a service. Thanks
