Hi and welcome to the forum   The movement you quote is now obsolete and therefore parts will be at a premium.  Cousins uk  quote a complete movement as an alternative   VD57  for £10 50 complete. So It makes sense to replace the complete movement and scrap the oiginal for parts. The movement is most probably made by Hattori/seiko/epson who are all the same company but different divisions.

Hello everyone.

I am new in this forum, have asked ones for parts for my flightmaster, was adviced to look at VD57 instead of repairing my original watch. Have search around and find no V657-8120 watch or parts on ebay. That makes me more upset to fix my own  one. I have spareparts list and wonder where to order parts broken or missed.

Any good ideas?

Hi  According to Cousins uk list all versions of the V657 are obsolete so the alterative is the VD57 or trawl Ebay in the hope of a donor watch or locate second user parts from previously mentioned sources plus speedtimerkollection site  in europe.  Jules borel and esslingers

Can anyone tell me of best repair shop / parts for this watch? 

There is no best or secret place for parts, actually there's s no guarantee one can get parts at all. Have a read to our pinned topic below.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Yes i did eventually realise that the oil will act as a barrier, I'm sure the discussion will continue. Ive had two oleophobic coffees ( added coconut ) and in the meantime i have this just delivered to take my mind off epilame for the time being. My favourite type of dial, its a beautiful looking watch traditional English made and it runs,  the ticktock is phenomenal,  i can hear it across my living room .  You wont believe how much it was. Thats interesting about synthetic oils , i thought the same, going from a 2 year service to 5 years is a big drop in income for service folk.  I expect some did well when they embraced the use of synthetic,  probably drawing in more customers than those that didn't use the new fangled substances , i bet fairly short lived though. The more frequent service makes more sense to me, not for just the service but for the regular check up inspections that might pick up impending faults. As far as epilame goes, wouldn't it be great to be able to fumigate the complete movement in a sealed jar of heated stearic acid, 🤔 now theres a thought 😅.

      AS2031-57E solar panel - mission: impossible

      By Albyon · Posted

      Imm going to close the discussion by attaching the photo of my super-titanium after several vicissitudes finally working. Purchased as not working I replaced the battery and for a stroke of luck I found its semi-new solar panel which, having verified its operation, seems to recharge the accumulator perfectly. I had taken this watch almost by bet, with 40 euros I brought it back to life. The initial half idea was to resell it to finance another purchase, but.. it's definitely a nice item. It would need to check the impermeability but it's a pleasure to see it on the wrist 😃

      Insert the movement inside the case

      In fact the secret is to go gently and find the way without forcing, and the movement enters without problems

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      Sure! Some very accomplished repairers never use epilame! I have often wondered if it is worth the trouble. Not using epilame will shorten the service intervals though, but that could be better perhaps both for the owner and the repairer!? Speaking of oiling, I just read this: After WWII in the 1950s the first Synthetic Oils came on the market. Most watchmakers did not rush to use these oils since they were bad for business now that the watch serviced with Synthetic oil would not come back to him for service for another 5-7 years he would lose a lot of income. ~Ofrei.com   Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if it would be more correct to think of epilame as a binder rather than a repellant. Until convinced otherwise that's how I will think of epilame.
