Hello everybody,
I was discussing this with a fellow RWI member and we were wondering how does one repair a faulty miyota (like on the 15400 or 5711) or 2813 (like on the ZF Blancpains)?
The movements are quite cheap (80$ for the Miyota and 15$ for the 2813) but are plain, undecorated. Can these plain movement from aliexpress/ebay be used "easily" (for a normal watchsmith) to be used to recyle the datewheel, rotor and decoplate from the rep movement? Are all 2813 the same or do you have to order a "correct" one, for example with a defined diameter (I saw the ones on aliexpress are 25mm).
Thanks a lot and excuse my noob question
