Omega Seamaster GMT non-chrono

[space]

I have a asian auto powered Omega Seamaster GMT non-chrono

The movement is not very reliable and has always given me problems.

Can I buy some kind of new movement that fits this watch?

I love the design, but I don't want to buy a new ETA version. It must be cheaper to get just a movement. (Preferebly a cheap but reliable one )

And how about hands? I guess my hands from the asian movement does not fit a new movement?

I'd be happy to get some pointers and hints!

bump?

You can probably find an identical asian movement to replace the one in there, but chances are it will be the same quality as what you have in the watch... Finding one is not easy though, but I see a number of DG movements on various suppliers sites lately, probably one of them is the same??? I don't know for sure.

There are few options for replacing this movement, the hands only fit asian models, so your limited. If you didn't want or need the GMT function, the Miyota 8215 may be an option, but you would have to measure your hands to see if they are the same, and actually test fit the Miyota to see if it would work. If the Miyota did fit, you would have a reliable watch and no running issues.

thanks!

Maybe I can get someone to service the movement I already have.
