Mum's watch

[jaspy]

Hi all just wondering if anyone may be able to help? the watch in the image is a Next one that was purchased for my mum with another two to other family members who are no longer with us. She thought it was just requiring a battery, however once changed it still does not work. I do not have the facilities to test quartz movements and was wondering if it would be possible to purchased another quartz movement and fit the old dial and hands? If so, where and which one would be suitable? btw the movement diameter is 17.5mm

Regards Jasp

Finding a new Miyota quartz movement should be easy. Just lift that white plastic ring and try to find the model number of your movement.

It could be this one:

Movement, Miyota 2025

2025M

Size 15.30 x 17.80mm (6 3/4 x 8 Ligne)

Movement Height 3.15mm

Battery 377

Hand Sizes: Min .70, Hr 1.20

£1.80

Looks like a 2030 caliber, inexpensive.

Hi   I should remove the AG1 battery and fit a renata watch batters  the cheap ones have a tendency to leak, and if they do the watch is usually ruined.

Cousins have 2035@ £1.25.    5Y20 @ £5.15.   2030 is Obsolete . all 6 3/4  X   8. depends on whether it is a three hand or two hand movement. Attached is the tech manual to help you.     cheers

Thank you everyone for your help. If I manage to work on a thousand watches in my lifetime, this will be my most important one

I have gotten many of these to run again with the use of some quick dry electronic spray. use a blower to push air around and get the spray to dry up.  than follow with a dab of Teflon\silicon electronic lube to those tiny pivot holes.  You may even slip some lube direct to any gears. about a 50% chance it may start up.
