Lorus Quartz Movement Help


Recommended Posts

my neighbor asked me if i could put a new battery in her lorus nurses fob watch , but unfortunately it still doesn't go with the new battery fitted.

I had a look on Cousins just to see how much a new movement would be but got a bit bogged down by the amount available and ligne size and all that.

As i say its a lorus fob the writing on the movement says Japan and the numbers are PH3N P021J any help as to how to find the replacement most appreciated as my search on Cousins drew a blank 

thanks Andy

From Esslinger:

 

Outside Diameter: 6 3/4 x 8 Ligne or 15.3 x 17.8 mm
• Movement 3.15 mm thick
• The height from the bottom of the watch movement to the top of the sweep second pinion is 4.80 mm
• 3 Hands
• Requires watch cell 377
• Requires watch hands: hour 1.20, minute .70, and sweep second .17 mm
• Has NO jewels
• Stem: 354222, Tap 10
• Overall height from the bottom of the movement to the top of the sweep second pinion is 4.82 mm
• Includes watch stem and temporary plastic watch crown
• Hattori Japan quartz movement
• Japanese assembled

 

US$4.95 and the stem and battery are included!

 

They list 3 versions: PC21, PC21HCP, and PC21XHCP. The difference is the overall height...so make sure you get the correct one. Corresponding prices increase by one dollar.

The manufacturer lists four versions: PC21AE, PC21AF, PC21J & PC21S

 

The difference is in the height of the sweep second pinion. Except for J & S, which are the same height. I think the difference between J & S is that J has a longer battery life. (3 years vs 2 years.)

    • Maybe you had a bad one H, the cheap blue one i use has been fine for nearly 3 years now. It demags enough to stop the tiniest of screws sticking to the carbon steel tweezers i use. If it were to fail at some point in the future i very  probably would go up a level of device just because. 
    • Lot of “industrial “ de magnifiers on Aliexpress  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004699640024.html?src=google&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=708-803-3821&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&albagn=888888&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&albcp=17858129175&albag=&trgt=&crea=en1005004699640024&netw=x&device=c&albpg=&albpd=en1005004699640024&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwo6GyBhBwEiwAzQTmcxIEVpMt1vFIKQyfjVwT95zrBsOi5dt-GgFOmLamBcMcu4tO7CfaaxoChnEQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&aff_fcid=b7140f118e144db7876d074872aec9cb-1716029308364-08531-UneMJZVf&aff_fsk=UneMJZVf&aff_platform=aaf&sk=UneMJZVf&aff_trace_key=b7140f118e144db7876d074872aec9cb-1716029308364-08531-UneMJZVf&terminal_id=6b7c60e41b044cb39d1431f62cda0958&afSmartRedirect=y   a hard drive wiper/degauser would also be worth looking at.   Tom
    • Unfortunately yes! Magnetism can wreak havoc on a mechanical watch movement if the balance hairspring becomes magnetised. The cheap blue Chinese demagnetise-rs are useless if you feed them the wrong voltage (> 110 V), and even so, they don't work very well. The one I got when I was new worked so poorly that it drove me nuts. Eventually, I was lucky to get a Greiner Magnomatic for a little money. It's an amazing tool that can be trusted to do its job perfectly in seconds. A new one comes with a price tag of  £885 excluding tax and shipping, and if you think that's a bit steep (I believe most of us would) and can't find a used one I'd go with @Jon's recommendation.
    • Yep Mike , i use exactly the same gauge for it.
    • You definitely pick up different names from different people of all ages from everywhere. Like learning different dialects of the same language. Its all part of the learning curve of any trade.  Both those two terms describe to me perfectly that they are one and the same. After a couple of years of knowledge you can figure out what is being talked about. There are times that i get caught out with something i haven't encountered before.
