Old Reebok (From My Father)

[coolmike24]

Hi,

 

I have an old Reebok sports watch from the 90's. It's nothing fancy or expensive, but my father bought it for me when I was a kid so it has sentimental value.

 

It has a button missing and the strap is completely shattered into pieces.  I probably will never find a replacement button, but can I find a similar substitute to replace all the buttons or how can I go about fixing this watch.

 

Many Thanks,

Mike

These "designer" watches used standard movements - mainly, but not totally, Japanese quartz ones. If you can get the back off, you may well be able to see what the movement is - perhaps a Ronda or something similar - and then see if a replacement or equivalent is obtainable from somewhere like Cousins.

 

It may be a mechanical movement - auto or hand wind perhaps - but the same principle applies. See what it is and see if it can be replaced. However, the buttons may or may not be part of the movement...

 

As for the strap, all I can suggest is to see what there might be on eBay. I would say your whole watch would probably cost about £25 to replace from eBay - but then it wouldn't be your father's present to you! You could obtain one then cannibalise it for the strap.
