( could the seiko 5 or cheap citizen or sandoz etc) thanks i advance it can be done , i swaped an asian 21j movement from 1 of the 1st PO'S that ttk sold to me a while back , lucky for me it was a direct fit ill post some pix of it soon .. just 1 thing b4 you do the swap .. the sweep of the original MIYOTA is very choppy almost quartz like . the asian movements that come in todays asian reps sweep much more smoother .. so if you can live with that than good luck ill post some pix later on ..

FxrAndy Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Ifg you know what movement you need try these guys http://www.clockspares.net/dept.asp?id=1719 They carry just about every thing, i think you need to look at the 8215.

david-aussie Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 tnx for that , the link for the new movements. But the reason I thought of buying a brand name watch is that I thought the movements in them would already be properly oiled and adjusted. hence it may last longer then the standard rep movements.?
