Hi All

My SAF issued Hamilton watch (those you get when u MR) is dead.

Have a new battery changed at K2 but still wun tick and Mr Goh does not have the spares to replace.

Checked with Swtach group and the replacement movement is $245.

Other than Swatch group, is there any other alternatives?

Thanks

Mr Goh did not mention.
It is tiny winy quartz movement occupying 40% of the watch case.

Just found out the movement # is 805.112
Any recommended online shop to get this movement?

So far found 1 Canandian Site (Perrin watch parts) selling it.

Generic Quartz ETA right? Bronze Age usually have parts. Their charges? A fraction of what swatch quoted you. Good luck in getting your hamilton ticking again.
