Hi All I brought a Omega replica seamaster C axial.. See picture .. When I was in HK some years ago. It have never worked but I really like the look of it .. my question is can new internals be brought and is there anyone in Australia or anywhere for that matter who offers this this sort of repair service

That movement is what we call a 21j, a cheap $20 Chinese automatic. That rep should have a 7750 Chronograph. Also that rep is not so good but here is the upside. Yes, you can buy another 21j and source an OZ guy to swap it out IF you wanna keep it as a sentimental piece of your life in the replica hobby. Also, if you really really like it, buy a much better replicated version with the correct funtionality....I think it cracks :)P) to keep the low end junk we all bought early on in the hobby.

Good Luck,

PM Offshore. He can probably either fix it or sell you a movement.
