This is one of my favorites in my collection, and I have looked far and wide for someone to fix it. There are lots of service centers that can do the work but no one has parts.  I had the movement replaced once before but guess it didn’t take. Sent it to Luminox’s service center they put 3 batteries in said it kept shorting out and needs movement replaced again. I would appreciate it if anyone could either point me in the direction of someone who can fix it for me or where I can get the parts.   Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't quite understand the problem here? in other words you sent it to Luminox they're telling you need to new movement just let them put a new movement in?

Then in order for us to help we need to know what the movement number is.

They don’t have the parts and the numerous other repair centers I have contacted don’t either. 
 

I’ve attached a pic of the numbers off the back of the case. 
 

apparently this version (digital/analog) was made in much smaller numbers than the analog version of the sr-71 Edition and no one I have contacted has the parts.

the unfortunate problem with some watches made much worse if the watch has electrical components is if there is an issue your basically screwed.  unfortunately we do not get a movement number from the back I did find this link which does suggest a movement number ISA 9011. then I'm finding basically no information on the movement at all. So that's the problem unfortunately with rare timepieces is getting components will be impossible. This means of you really want the watch to run again you basically will have to purchase another watch.

      What's your thoughts on this Rolex Sea-Dweller, ref. 16600, calibre 3135 project?

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Well, my fundamental stance is that I want to go in and out without leaving any trace other than a shining, perfectly running movement. So, no scratchings on the inside of the case back lid, no marred screws, no debris, no fingerprints, and so on. That is, my goal is to make it impossible for the FBI to track me down. As a professional, I suppose you might want to keep track of returning watches, but as @JohnR725 mentioned, we can keep detailed computer records without marking the watch at all. That may not be true for every watch, but luxury and COSC-certified movements do have unique numbers. John also says it’s best to leave no sign you were ever there, and I couldn't agree more. Now, suppose the Sea-Dweller I'm working on is one day scrapped, and you want to sell the case-back separately (perhaps the case was destroyed in a plane crash). Then the scribbles on the inside no longer reflect the current movement inside the case. Also, the engraving will likely halve the market value of the case back. It had been "sleeping" for about a week and a half. Yes, the "debris/old lubricant" theory is my hypothesis as well! It will be interesting to see what I find once I have time to start disassembling the movement.

      I've repaired a few of these, having some success with stripping and cleaning the mechanism.  They are so cheap though, its hardly worth the effort in many cases.

      Id love to see how he has the output shaft mounted to this setup, as I have the same rotary stage and stepper in my build.

      Broken watch stem in watch crown

      By Poljot · Posted

      If you see at least one thread protruding, or even a half, then you may have a chance using this "tool", but don't squeeze hard. Lot's of patience, and if you notice any signs of loctite or other adhesives, then apply several drops of acetone on top of broken stem. Use heat (hair dryer) also. You should be able gradually turn it counterclockwise, just like i did on this broken Timex stem, which was glued with something like nail hardener. Then you can use an extender to save your broken stem. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513DVvkfW5L.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg   You can also try cutting a small grove / slot on top of the broken stem to use 0.7mm flat screwdriver.   Depending on the Crown material and Stem material, you can try dissolving the stem.
