I see a number of threads here related to modding this or that but none that addresses specifically my issue, so apologies if this seems just another "which x will fit this y".
I just got a SM GMT (OME112) from Silix and the movement is for shite. second hand habitually gets stuck at various points between 25 and 45. A firm shake often jars it loose for a couple of passes but it always repeats.
Seems silly to ship the thing all the way back and even sillier to take a rep to a watch guy to suss out what might be the trouble. My impression is that there's a somewhat less than superlative 21J asian movemnet in the thing.
Mightn't simply replacing the movement with a better one be as effective and cost relative as having a watchmaker determine that the issue is simply an inferior movement not worth fixing?
So my questions is: which movement will fit?
As always, many thanks to the experts here at RWI.
