Started then stopped. Would like to get a new movement. Possible?

NOS replacement is not likely to help since you will still have to service it.  What have you done to try and correct the one you have?

Your circuit board is missing the trimmer capacitor.

The capacitor is glued on with epoxy and wasn't soldered. It falls off quite easily. I think it's a common problem with this model. It works great after soldering back the capacitor though. 

If you have the missing capacitor, solder it back on and the movement should work.

Where do I get a new capacitor or movement? 

I have no idea. I hardly see M63 movements on ebay. Most of the Q Timex available are regular quartz movements. 

I haven't changed any Timex crystals so far. Most of them will polish up quite nicely.

I have two Falcon Eyes. The second one has a cracked crystal and no back. I was hoping to be able to restore both. Any suggestions is appreciated. Thank you.
