e30m3 Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 I've got a Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days (Ceramic, Brown Dial) here with a broken balance wheel (the jewel to the mainplate seems to have cracked largely away, and I don't think the spindle is quite as long as it should be (the end of the staff seems to have chipped off along with the jewel - don't ask). I can't seem to find a balance wheel that matches anywhere, so my questions are: 1. What's the movement based on? Can I buy a new Shanghai (or Seagull, etc) movement to cannibalize the balance wheel, or has this been altered to look like a P.9000? 2. Or better yet - is there anyone who sells just the new balance wheel assembly? 3. Anyone have one sitting around they want to sell? Thanks!

e30m3 Posted July 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) Sorry for the delay - here's the balance wheel front and back. Sorry for the crappy mobile photos! Edited July 28, 2019 by e30m3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 That is no clone p9000....Asian 23J movement. You will have a hard time finding parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capice Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 best to get a new mvt if the jewel in the mainplate has cracked. I know from experience getting a new jewel that fits is a pain in the butt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e30m3 Posted July 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 But where? it's been decorated to resemble the real deal and it has a display back, so I can't just pop in a 23j... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e30m3 Posted July 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Ah-hah. I get it now. I don't know how I missed that it's an ST2555. I'll order a new one and swap over the "blued" screws and such. Anything else to look out for as far as fitment? Are parts going to go flying when I take off the datewheel plate? Thanks!
