I am trying to find a replacement movement for my Sekonda pocket watch, that has sentimental value.

The watch is about 20 years old and the original movement was ruined by battery leakage.

SU 2256 I assume is the calibre. any help would be appreciated.

Hi   I see what you mean the corrosion has well set in,  I have several repro pocket/fob watches which have the Miyota 2030/35 fitted probably with dial dots or such ,  They are common enough and robust little movements, getting one to fit the hands you have will be a poser  The number on the movement looks like  a logo then 2256. I have had a look for sekonda , not got anything yet Can you get a clear picture of the Logo, it looks like a styalised U with a small u inside.   What size is the movement .         cheers

To add it is a day date movement.

I suppose your have joined and hooked into the existing topic just to ask this., 4 times. You should have opened a new topic for a new problem, with a clear picture. In any case there is no secret place for parts, what all we do here is to search the Internet.

    • Thanks everyone for the replies. It seems setting the hand is a bit of a guessing game, and I thought there would be a very specific way to do it. Since the reserve indicator hand moves clockwise as the spring is wound, I tried setting it right at the start of the black side. But setting it there doesn't really make sense, because by the time the spring is halfway wound, the hand is only at the end of the red side... In my head halfway wound shouldn't mean the hand is still "in the red."
    • Lovely part of the country! I spend most of my days driving along the A64 for work in and around York. I'll be sure to drop plenty of questions soon! I've actually got a couple of watches on the way that I'm pretty sure I'll need some help with! They look pretty beat up from the pics but I love a challenge and an excuse to buy more tools 🤣
    • I have two of these in my home. You need to remove the movement from the case, take off the hands and remove the dial and take a few good photos of the front plate so I can see what the problem is. The round nut unscrews and the hands pull off pull them off from the center and not the tips as you could break them. 
    • I asked the question of one of the sellers. Its for removing the pins and making the holes in motorbike drive belts. God knows why they were both in two seperate joblots of watchmaking tool, thats bizarre. I haven't posted your setting lever steel yet mike, been busy with my mum past few days and had a locked myself in at home lazy watch repair day today 🙂 but I'm out tomorrow so i will get it off to you then. 
    • Hi everyone, I tried looking for answers on this online but came up with nothing, so I'm hoping some of you knowledgeable people might be able to help. I have an Elliot clock that has been in my family for at least 4 generations. I recently enherited it, and I'm trying to get it to run properly again, as it's been neglected a bit.  Here,s the problem. These clocks have a silencer mechanism, which is supposed to stop it from chiming between 11PM and 7AM but for some reason mine is silent between 1AM and 9AM. I have tried figuring out how to adjust it but have not managed. Does anyone have any idea on how to correct this? Please find attached some pictures of the clock. Thank you!
