SAF issued Hamilton Watch

Post by eeee78 » 10 Nov 2014 14:52

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.

keep us posted on how you go! Last tip, when speaking to elders in the watch circuit, use the KISS theory. That's Keep it simple s****d. Haha. They don't do very well in jargons.

Updates:
Watch is with Bronzeage now.
Was quoted $50 to have the movement replace.
Very happy with the price and service provided.
