Hi guy’s! Can anyone tell me what’s the genuine cal movement for a santos de cartier watch please! The watch is a AAA copy & at the moment it’s running with a VJ23 S11 quartz movement! I’m looking for a good replacement genuine movement or next best ETA! cheers!

Please let me expose my personal opinion, the watch is counterfeit and as such will remain no matter what is done to it.

You can, of course do some research to identify a mo.t similar in size to what is in there now.

Yeah i know all about the watch mate! I think the original movement is the cartier 687 cal which i can get a replacement one from the usa, i was l thinking a nice ETA movement, just need to size it up!

There are a lot of things to consider when changing from one movement to another. Biggest concerns (after diameter) are height, dial feet positions, and stem height.

 

Googling the movement that's in gets garbledygook and then this thread; do you have any further info?

Yeah thanks for the info mate! I’ve got all the dimensions i need size wise off the hattori vj23 movement thats in the watch at the moment! It would be nice to know what the original cal movement cartier would use in the said watch mate! Just for reference purposes!

      Welcome to the group Stirky. You can search for just about every subject in the craft here. Don't be afraid to ask if you can't find the answer that may have already been covered ( some ad nauseum LOL ). You don't have to buy Bergeon to get good quality. There are many decent mid-range tools available that will last you a lifetime. Cousins would be a good place to start . Cheers from across the pond ! Randy

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By Jon · Posted

      I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!

      Diagram for 6497 motion works

      By Jon · Posted

      Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.

      So I just wanted to say "thank you" again.  The angle is the key bit it seems and yes, it did basically just fall, or float, back into position when I got it lined up just right. I had meant to add that now that I see how it goes in, I totally see how it came out in the first place, and that whomever cloned the original movement didn't pay much attention to the fine details around the setting or how it interfaces with the balance cock or the "rings" on the regulator and/or stud carrier arms.
