jdrichard, I've moved this thread to the appropriate section, please take the time to select when posting.

Seiko doesn't manufacture a 8-3/4‴ 2 hands only. Even the original 4110 had seconds. You could also use a VJ14 or VJ19. Date ring would not be visibile or can be removed. What has to be checked is hands arbor size and heigth.

I can't tell what is wrong with the escapement, but that mainspring needs to be replaced.

Also, if you get your repair person to measure hands size you could use a new SII (Seiko) VX12E. These cost only $10 or so and give a sure result compared to replace parts on an old mov.t which, in the end, may not run.

Mike, indeed SSTEEL is a professional watch repairer, check his previous postings. The good advice you gave applies when the timegrapher data is unsatisfying, but here we're discussing a different, and still unproven issue.

Listed price is $42.50. You need to call them, they are not the easier material house for an individual to buy a single part with oversea shipping.

You can also look on Y! Japan, but may cost you more due to the need to use a buying agent.

Welcome here. You're totally correct. I won't go into the details of my experience, depressing stuff that is best left behind. Sounds great. I wouldn't mind a ride up the Gold Coast. I should be able to borrow an old Ninja for swift transport, but can I stop at your place for 2 or 7 beers and crash in the backyard? LoL.

When a seller says "needs battery" you can't know if it works or not.

You need a 4110 module. 9007 is the case reference. Circuits are not repairable.

PM with your address and I'll send you these.

You can probably use generic parts for all these e.g. from Cousins UK.

Isn't possible to get discontinues parts. At best you can find a watch with a donor movement or a new quartz module that fits.

You need to verify first in person. There is a say, no head bandage before breaking it.

How can you have an India put-together watch with an original JLC mov.t? I must assume it's a counterfeit, cheap China made one, and from the picture there are in fact some hints about that. In that case no much surprise it stops intermittently.
