This is the Seagull ST19, Lemania clone. Not sure where to source one, but try the search function here and you may come up with something.
But it is generally a very good movement and I wonder if you should not just get it serviced rather than having a new one.
I don't know a watchsmith in Aussieland who can do it for you, but again: Search may be able to sort out your problem.
Good luck.

im pretty sure this was the watch dad bought before I found this nice place...

anyway - his watch is dead and Im wondering if worth buying a replacement movement for a watchmaker to switch for me

1. is it worth doing?
2. what movement do I buy?
3. where do I buy it from?

any help appreciated

I would expect this watch to be available from our dealers for around $250. I wonder if getting a new one wouldn't just be quicker and easier...

the local watch guy said he could only buy genuine swiss parts and could only hope that they would fit... he thought it wasnt worth the probable cost.

I was thinking that if a new watch was $250, then just the movement would be cheaper, and the old movement could still be used for parts...

maybe he should just call it quits

thanks

just curious... I read following from your link.

We do not sell cheap Asian, Chinese or Japan made replica watches that are flimsy, light as a feather, have a ticking second hand & may chip or break after a few months. We only provide 100% exact Grade 1 Heavy Swiss-made Patek Philippe replica Timepieces which are built to the same specifications with Solid 440-grade Stainless Steel with sweeping second hands just as the originals.

is that true? because i read somewhere in this forum, such claim is a big fat lie

it is a scam. Ask them to send a pic of the actual watch they will send. Have some fun with them....

If from time to time we point out the white lies of our trusted dealers, this is indeed a big fat lie, as what is claimed just does not exist.
So the seller intentionally advertizes something as what it is not. He does not play with words, simply tries to scam you. There will never be a 100% accurate Patek rep.

There can't be a 100% accurate Patak rep.
There are some things that you just can't copy and a Patak is one of them. Weel, actualy you caould come close but how many will spend 8-10 grand on a rep? Even a rep of a 60thou plus watch.

J&W did some for around that price a year or so back, sold out in weeks. Regretably prob to folk who onsold them to idiots as gens.
