Help needed

[Nigel]

I have a u-boat left hook that has a broken movement. I would like to put a better one in so if anyone has any idea on one can they please advise. I would appreciate some help. Here is some photos of the watch and movement.

I think you would need to put another 21j in there. Most of the time you can upgrade to an ETA movement as the hands won't fit.

Go for a new 21j only about 25$ form ofrei.com Im doing the same thing right now. Very easy to do.

Thanks for the reply guys much appreciated.

Yup another movement will have the wrong hand size, the wrong date position, and you'd need a different movement holder.

Thanks for the advice all. It looks like a new 21j for the watch.

Any know of any one in Australia selling these movements? I need the 2813 but it just works out to expensive to get it from ofrei.com.

I also tried some of the TDs and they want 40USD plus shipping. Any help would be appreciated.

The dg2813 is only 20-25 not sure on shipping

The price is 24.95USD but the shipping is 44USD that makes it not so cheap.

If I cant get one local I was thinking of just buying another one.

I just hope some one can come up with a local supplier.
