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

      Looks like it’s be perfect for my anvil problem, but I’d be concerned about using on a watch movement re: I’d be afraid to apply that much magnetic force to a hairspring.

      I use on of these Eclipse demagnetisers. https://www.eclipsemagnetics.com/products/workholding-systems/table-top-demagnetiser/ I got fed up with those Mickey Mouse blue things and went industrial You can pick them up on eBay from between £70 to £100. They will demagnetise anything. I mean, anything, from a hairspring to a hammer head. The table is about 5 x 6 inches. You are not going to find anything close to being this good! It will demagnetise the biggest and chunkiest of cases with the movement inside. You'll never wonder again if your demagnetiser did the job.

      Hi Dean, The solution with the alum for the broken screw is good and is generally used by watchmakers from many years, but You have to take off ALL steel parts from the plate. In some movements, the post for the minute wheel, for example, is made of steel. Deeping partly the plate works too, but some marks may left on the line where the solution doesn't cover the plate. Heating the solution is needed to accelerate the process. With the years, a rich collection of screws gathers and then finding the needed screw is not a problem. But till then it will be helpfull if You get some assorted screws lot. The other option is making screws. This is usually for the ones with specific form and sizes that doesn't meet often. But the skill of making screws is something that will never be unnecessary

      Haha yes you do have to reel in your bidding enthusiasm Michael. I use a " not enough time policy " to restrict myself or else known as sniper bidding. Decide what you are most prepared to bid and place it 7 seconds before the end, cross your fingers ,job done . The price paid here i would say was top  figure another day could have been $40
