who is willing to - and can help ?

i gave my buddy an Omega Aqua Terra, it has a 21J asian Mvmnt,
the idiot ( even though i told him not to ! ) handwound the watch, and wrecked the gears ( after 1 year )

the watch is a non chrono,

CAN SOMEBODY HELP AND CHANGE THE MOVEMENT FOR A NEW ONE ?

any input ?

thanks !!

H_U long time no see sir. Good seeing you!

If I were you I would search for a high beat one so it has as many ticks as an eta but at a fraction of the cost. Then just a simple switch of movements :)

Hi Coldi,
yes, life keeps me all to busy...from one thing to another.
and i am somewhat overdosed with watches....
how many can you wear...i catch myself wearing my favourites again and again.

the automatics....thats exactly why i hate these movements.
i cant do anything myself on them. and nothing but trouble with them.
thats the reason why i stick with the handwounds....

i am still around, reading mostly and laying low.
