bklm1234 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I have a broken 21j Asian Noobmariner movement I want to swap out. I want to know if it's a Miyota 8125 copy or something else. I'm thinking of a gen Miyota 8125 movement, or a Chinese DG 2813, or a just another 21j Asian movement. Ofrei has the Miytoa 8125 and DG 2813 listed as having hand sizes of 100/165/17 and 100/159/17 respectively. That means I can go with a gen Miyota or copy but I can't go with the DG 2813 unless I have the proper minute hand. That is assuming the 21j Asian in my Noobmariner is a Miyota 8125. Thanks. -BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I sawpped one with a dg2813 from cousins UK for under a fiver (not counting postage) no problems. there is a link on the other asian 21j thread i put there earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 The noob movement is a Miyota copy, in the chinese sense of the word. As for hand sizes, you might check julesborel.com and compare what they have. The hand sizes are slightly different from ofrei. When my noob crapped out on me (actually it crapped out on my nephew, and I got it back), I got a DG 2813 and tried to get my watchmaker to swap it. Instead, he serviced the noob movement for $40. So far, so good- it's on the winder and doing fine. Now I have a spare DG 2813 to play w/! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklm1234 Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Jules Borel has the Miyota at 100/150/17 and DG2813 at 100/152/17. 150, 152 <= I think same 150 minute hand can fit both. BTW, does Miyota movement hack? I don't think so. Anybody knows? -bk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slay Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Just a little advice, if you're giving these watches away as a present, make sure you buy ETA or something, because they are more unlikely to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajoesmith Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 maybe this has been answered before but does the chinese 2813 movement hack?? I know the Miyota doesnt, the DG2813 is a clone of it so i presume it also doesnt hack either does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Yes the DG2813 does hack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
