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

Did Encik GOH mentioned about the caliber number?
If yours is this...
it may cost you roughly 20% of what SWATCH Grp quoted nia... with shipping...

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.
