Is this fixable?

[Pirelli85]

Bought this 183G from the forum many years ago on a different username. Absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, the watch broke and I never bothered to get it fixed. I have been looking for a replacement watch on and off for quite sometime, but have been unable to find one similar. Any idea how much something like this would cost and is there anybody that the forum recommends sending the watch to to get fixed?

Is it just putting the seconds hand?

Maybe a new movement if the stem for the second hand is damaged. Probably needed service anyway.

Those movements are cheap.

The second hand and it also needs a new movement as the handle also broke

can you tell which movement this is? Been trying to find a movement on the forums, but it seems like nobody is selling them.

This is a 6497 clone. You can get a seagull st36.

That's a desirable watch (if it's Hfac), there are still value on that watch. You can sell it as is at the price you bought it (or even more) and someone will scoop it up.
Replacement movement is quiye cheap for this, just go to ebay and search for unitas replica or panerai replica movement.

Unfortunately, I bought the watch from another member more than 6-7 years ago, and unfortunately, do not recall where they bought it from.

It's not a problem to buy a standard 6497, or even a badly decorated PANERAI one, but it's a transparent caseback model and it's important to keep the look of the movement.

The way the decoration is done is far from ideal, but if possible, I personally would save the movt. by fixing this one, or rearrange the bridges to a new one bought on ali.

A couple of years ago, I was looking for a TD decorated in this way movement in TD and it was not easy and expensive. I haven't seen movements with engraved bridges on common grounds for a long time.
Perhaps someone has seen and will be able to tell where to buy one at a reasonable price, then the question is removed.

So yours is 183G with the correct movement finishing but wrong dial for G series.
Your movement bridges is not engraved but still using sticker because I can see the edges of the foil. So replacing the movement is an upgrade.

Doesn’t matter. If the price is right..
