Need Help finding movement for Rare Luminox Lockheed Martin SR-71 Limited Edition


Recommended Posts

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.

    • Hello and welcome from Leeds, England. 
    • Hi,   My name is Simeon I am based in Sydney, Australia and have recently got into watch repair / watch making.  I am very much a learner having serviced multiple forgotten watches, some of which were actually successful!   I have a slowly growing collection of watches, mainly old Soviet, a few Japanese and (not pictured) some Raketas, a Poljot Alarm, an Omega Speedmaster Reduced and a vintage (1972) Tissot Seastar.  I like unloved vintage watches, with quirky faces and enjoy bringing them back to life through the simple(!) act of disassembly, clearing and reassembly. I am an Electrical Engineer who also undertook a trade apprenticeship so I am reasonably handy - It's fair to say, I know just enough to get myself in trouble. 
    • ha ha looks like a WMD.....you know I want one now  
    • I took a chance on a non running Cosmotron X8 ("perhaps just needs a new battery" said the advert). Sure enough, I open it up and it has the wrong battery installed (a Renata 344 rather than the correct Renata 386) and the screws holding the battery contact had been sheared off to half a head on both ends. Ho ho, I thought - there's the problem. I got the broken screws out easily enough and as soon as I placed the correct battery in place the balance started. This picked up speed when I reinstalled one side of the battery contact and looked like it was a runner. As I was trying to get the replacement screws in, I did one side but the second was a bit of struggle (hold down the battery contact against its spring while dropping the screw in with tweezers) the balance stopped again. This time it wouldn't start again. 98 percent sure that I didn't stick anything, anywhere important or break it in a mechanical way. The battery was in place for most of the struggling with the contact, so it might have had an intermittent connection which could have upset the electronics. I tried giving it a puff with the blower but the balance doesn't seem to rotate in the normal way, it seems to be held in a static position by magnet. It can be pulled out of this position but spins back and stops dead. This may well be correct for all I know. Anyway, does anyone know anything about these watches and can tell me how I would go about and fault find this? I will be servicing it at some point so should be able to rule out mechanical issues from an old watch but not sure where to start with the electrical part of it.
    • Sorry to reopen a necro-thread (long dormant) - I have a Seiko Kinetic 5M42A that needs at least one coil, possibly both. Anyone know of any sources?  The usual fallback of eBay has failed me - there are people selling coils, but not the ones for this movement (which was apparently a very popular movement, used in Seiko and Pulsa branded watches.) The coil numbers are: 4002 516,  and 4002 519 I'd also love to find a source for spares of the screws used all over this movement - they're Seiko PN 0022 247 Thanks! (Moderator - if this should be a new thread, please do feel free to tell me, or drag this one into a new thread.) Don Eilenberger
