Hi, new to this forum... Proud owner of an vintage IWC Porsche quartz and an early VanderKlaauw.

I came across this forum looking for a quartz replacement for a ETA 7751 (moon phase) in a vintage case. The current movement is unrepairable. I could replace it with an Asian unit, but as long as I drop the original movement anyway, I would not mind rather exchanging this one for quartz.

There are plenty of movements available, but I have not been able to trace one which matches the 7751 dials and cases.

Any suggestions?

Hi Ton,

I'm the proud owner of a (recently serviced) IWC Spitfire 🙂

To date I have just been sourcing movements for practice and have yet to go in search of anything specific. So, no help to you there.

I'm sure that there are folks here who would be able to help you find what you're looking for but I don't think a majority of them look at this sub-forum. You might want to re-ask here: https://www.watchrepairtalk.com/forum/4-watch-repairs-help-advice/

Valjoux/ETA 7751  Restricted parts/movements due to the SWATCH policy.   movements will probably turn up on ebay some times as NOS movements if you want to swap like for like.  Replaceing the movement with a quartz movement will entail alterations such as a movement insert new dial or altering the current dial feet assuming you can get a quartz unit with the moophase.

Thanks for the input. I found the 2017 topic and the reference to the 3LZF2. I would require the 3LZF19 though (moon phase). If I would replace the 7751, I'd rather use quartz then an Asian replica.

Ebay lists chinese rep for the 7751 between $72-$250, new 7751 are offered for $750 with dials of choice. I cannot find quartz replicas, at least nog with 7751 dimensions. Could be they ar just not there

      Compression Spring Various Size. This might be helpful. I have watch furniture restorers and how they go about this problem, they inject glue underneath with a syringe and clamp it, leave over night. Next day remove clamp and it smooth. You could use an iron but be careful not to burn the wood.  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265697329513?chn=ps&_ul=GB&var=565484998457&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1jd_-94ilTHWZLQ3PxHeC1A73&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=565484998457_265697329513&targetid=1647205088320&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1006662&poi=&campaignid=17206177401&mkgroupid=136851690655&rlsatarget=pla-1647205088320&abcId=9300866&merchantid=119334104&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwir2xBhC_ARIsAMTXk849TnBArEYdgv1DpHf_somCZYmB7ViqD3UtvNJJc_dn4kj0AFxBXngaArSAEALw_wcB

      Without Our Forum

      🤣 i think your first statement is rather dramatic, but i will take it in good humour.  I think the thread speaks for itself John.  What we are aiming for and when i say we, thats not actually that many that have spoke up. Is to have a back up plan to keep members in touch in case the forum ever disappears. So in essence yes the group has maybe taken on a life of its own and would like to remain together forever ( 🤣 i can also be dramatic )  maybe more members need to give some input of how they feel about it or say they are just not that bothered.  Either way at least the question gets answered. Can i ask what the forum means to you and how you would feel without it ? Thats one answer Rich from one person, without knowing how others feel the thread was just a waste of time. Aw Rich are you saying you'd miss me ? I'm touched 🙂
