126610 LN VSF VS3235 Broken Staff - replacement movement or repair ?'s

[BogeyMan]

I bought a 126610 LN with the VS3235 movement in it and it stopped working back in February. I took it to local watchmaker and they said that the staff is broken and not able to be repaired. They have had the watch since February and I want it back on my wrist!


I have messaged PureTime (where I bought the watch from) asking about a replacement movement and have received no reply unfortunately.


Question 1: Are there individual replacement parts available for this movement? Or does the movement need to be replaced?

Question 2: Is it even possible to get a replacement VS3235 to swap into the watch that is a direct fit?

Question 3: Are there any other movements (i.e. ETA, Seiko, Sellita movements) that could be inserted into the watch that would be a direct fit without modification of the pins on the back of the dial or having to adhere/glue/epoxy the dial to the movement?


Any assistance is very much appreciated! Thank you!

PureTime has replied and agreed to allow me to order a VS3235. I will post back once I receive the movement and let the forum know if this worked out and if it was a direct replacement for my watch.
