Probably any of the ETA quartz movements. I like the 955.112 as AliExpress has the PCB. But probably get a lot of quartz watches from eBay and see what you get. I've gotten a batch with a Bulova quartz and a 214 and a couple of Fossils. Totally worth it. -
I had to go back and verify what were talking about because I wasn't sure with the terminology what exactly you are discussing. Then yes depending upon where you are on the planet and when you are there is all sorts of differences. When I was in school the instructor George showed me how to make one. Such a simple device to make and so incredibly useful for 18 size full plate watches I wouldn't think of putting one together without it. -
I am looking to branch out from servicing / repair of mechanical watches to quartz. I have serviced and fettled 2 x ESA 9154 and a Citizen Cosmotron and I like the electronic aspects. What would be a good, serviceable, quartz movement to start with? -
Well I would think that depends on many factors. This was the same Potence clip my father made when he attended the Bulova School after WWII, so maybe it's just that different places teach differently -
I said it was a learning effort...I learned a TON!!! It was a great learning effort. Your time was much appreciated and led to a much deeper understanding on my part of many many things. I'm sorry if what I said gave a different impression. When I said it didn't work out, I meant in the sense that I wasn't able to repair the problem on the pocket watch I'm trying to service! More later... 😁
