Hi guys, hope everyone is well in these rather strange times we are living through at the moment.

Quick question, I’ve done some searching but to no avail as of yet, I’ve been asked to see if I can repair an emporio Armani gents watch model number AR1798.

Now straight off the bat I’m saying new movement and crystal and possibly hands, fingers crossed the dial is ok, if not it will have to be a donor watch to complete the repairs.

Anyway as I haven’t got the watch yet, I want to try and get a rough idea of price for parts, mainly the movement, so has anyone got any idea what cal. The movement is? Obviously a quartz. Hands, Crystal etc will have to wait as there’s no way of finding out these for now. 
cheers for any help, stay safe now.

Normally the modules in these are Japanese, around 5 euro. There are also fashion watches using ETA it would say Swiss made. Small seconds is not the most common, browsing Miyota and SII offering you might find it easily.

JDM is right usually Miyota 2030/ 2035  and @ under a tenner inc post  Cousins etc hold them, I have had Miyota IL12s and IL45s as well but again not costly.  If you are doing a straight swap dial and hands should fit ok    If its anthing else  post it an we will check.         heers

Cheers gents, yeah I was heading in the miyota direction myself, having looked through the cousins site for a suitable replacement. There was a post on here regarding the same watch but the Op done a one lost and leave sketch after his question was answered so I couldn’t message him direct to ask the same question.

As soon as I get it in for the repairs I’ll let you know if anything else crops up and also to give information to crystal size and what Cal. It actually is. 
thanks again

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      Hah! Well, California will have to do. Lived in TX for a brief period back in the early 70s, though, so maybe that counts. 🙂 Funny you should mention making vacuum tubes- I've actually tinkered with that! It's REALLY tough to do, and I've never made one more complicated than a simple diode that barely worked, but I have played around at it. But there's just no infrastructure for vacuum tube fabrication. I can get a lathe and learn how to use it to make complex parts, and while it might take a while to learn- and money to get the equipment, of course- it is possible to do more or less "off the shelf". But vacuum tubes, not so much. There are a few folks out there doing some crazy cool work with bespoke tubes, but they have setups that are far beyond what I can manage in my environment and it's mostly stuff they built by hand. I also have been playing with making piezoelectric Rochelle Salt crystals to replace ancient vacuum tube turntable needles- nobody's made those commercially for probably 60 years. I'm a sucker for learning how to do weird things no one does any more so I can make things no one uses work again. (I think this is drifting off the topic of lathes, lol).

      You shoulda been born in Texas. Tough to make a vacuum tube though. You can substitute with a MOSFET eq ckt I guess. I was playing around making a pinion the other day. More to it than meets the eye.

      Replacing crystal, do I need a bezel tool?

      By zx6rfool · Posted

      Well, turns out it was a fake bezel! The crystal is domed mineral glass and I was able to find a cheap replacement that should be here in two days.  I used my crappy little press to pop out the cracked crystal, Ill give the case a good cleaning in the meantime and do a once over on the movement.
