Sweattdogg Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Okay here is the story. I bought a used gucci 1900l for my girl. I was going to give it to her for Valentine's day. I met the seller and the watch looked like new. She said it had a new battery. I set the time and left. I pulled the watch out when I got home and the time was totally off. I popped the back and the movement is ETA marked "v8" and had a new battery. I just went to the jewery store and picked up another battery. No dice. After 1 hour the hands have moved only 10 minutes. Any idea what could be wrong? I'm gonna try to get my money back, but you know how that goes. If I can't should I just find a new movement and drop it in? Anyone have a link to where I can buy ETA quartz? Quite a shame, because it is a really nice watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweattdogg Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks Pug. I found the movement. I guess if the woman doesn't return my cash I can replace the movement for about $18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movement model was stamped on. I was just too lazy to pop the case open until I found a source for the movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
