My SFSO Movement

[F15DOC]

OK gang, I have never opened up a watch or changed anything before, but I hate this movement in my SFSO.

I think it must be the cheap asian because it gains minutes every day.

How difficult and how much would it cost for me to pick up a nice movement and change it out?

Suggestions and thoughts are greatly appreciated!

This watch was made with asian and with swiss movement so it depends on which one you bought. If it was below $200,- it was probably an asian... around $250 or above swiss... if you bought it new from a dealer.

So a little bit more specific info would be handy.

If it has an asian movement you can't just change for a swiss movement. There's so much more to just changing the movement...

An asian movement doens't have to be bad... i have some quite old asian movements that run great. Maybe it just needs some adjustment if it runs too fast/slow.

Can be ETA also, anyhow it should be easy to adjust for watchsmith,

I have both ETA and asian SOSF and both runs perfect

I did not realize that you can adjust the accuracy of these.

Here is also interesting info for SOSF movements

If it has AR it is likely swiss, if not its asian. Adjusting the accuracy is a fairly simple procedure, and is a good skill for everybody to learn.

It cost a couple hundred bucks, does not have AR and I believe is asian movement.

The movement is fine if I can adjust the accuracy.
