clive Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hi. I would appreciate a bit of help, being new to this game. In my collection I have 2 rep Tag Heuer Grand Carreras which I rather like. They are both powered by a Miyota OS 20 quartz movement which I understand from reading here (and elsewhere) is a pretty well respected movement. One of these watches ceased working the other day and it is only about 6 months old. The chrono, including the second hand, work fine and the time and date adjustments both work as they should. But the main hands have stopped moving. Any ideas? I have a spare movement (new) but I would rather not do such major surgery at this stage. Yes, of course I checked the battery! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Clive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraggle42 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Sounds as if the coil driving the main hands has gone. I've never done it but I have read others have replaced individual coils and got them working that way. However if you have a complete movement ready to drop in, it makes sense to do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dovo1695 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Can't beat the price for a new movement. It should only be $20-$30 and are easy to source on the interwebs. Now if a gen Rolex movement goes wonky on you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
