My First Repair = CASIO MD-502 Module 394


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, 

This is my first post and my first watch repair.

So I bought a Casio MD-502 off eBay for £20 - faulty as the day was not working. But such an amazing looking watch.

Watching videos online I can try to fix but was thinking why don't I just replace the module itself.

I understand Casio watches use a Miyota movement or calibre.

I think the one for the this watch is like this one as the Sunday is in black not red and font matches = https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234581118144?hash=item369e1fccc0:g:aWkAAOSwP2ddJFDs&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4KRmF8Q%2BFJ1u381NUDp3MSdppDv4gZZczUzsHzjN1dHI9LurUi9UFdFoWgBqH8FrEHzhfDzpg%2BZ4012tA7QGICDTLbH7epph5NW26hF1AHbmda%2F3S8qCP77EsSVXl15GbFbwjbU9kZc0nM%2F8oiZ5%2BfSntYdG0YQwIQpYCCa8nuqyUIBlyNTdRKPZlRNfMshfOENFRnOlhu3W2sLT25ef%2FXBnKmRs1KkOScYotkFmcdZFD%2BX3pIbDhtL1dCjc2vRpnUALzGXhOYJO1g%2BgsP9EtoUwhuQ6NCHo0sUdy674YXZf|tkp%3ABFBM_pLutJ5h

My question is how do I know which watch movement this Casio watch has. A lot of people say just find a cheap donor watch with a 394 movement but I was thinking it might be cheaper to just buy the Miyota part.

Hope this makes sense 🙂

    • Alright... while I still hope for some answers, I'll continue my walk-through.  For now, just a quick post about the cleaning procedure. I did peg all the jewels and cleaned off dirt, oil etc with Rodico. Pivots cleaned with EVE pin polishers (only briefly to remove dirt). Then parts go in a couple of cleaning baskets (round brass ones) and inside of stainless tea filters... inside the Elma waterless cleaning (one 10min cycle) and rinsing liquids (two 10min cycles) in the ultrasonic.   After the cleaning, I put the parts in storage trays, cover them with a type of cellulose "paper" (that lets through the air, but protects from dust). And put that in the oven at 57°C (not too hot to avoid melting the shellac on the roller jewel).
    • Have you taken any out and had a look at them?
    • Your first few posts need approving, not sure of the number after that no approval needed. 
    • Yes, that's a good idea. Fault-finding (and maybe fixing) is the biggest skill. And actually quite fun.     hahahaha, 💯% 
    • The name on the dial is not listed in vol 1 or vol 2 of watch and clock makers of the world.  This dates around 1780 to 1910 looking at the spandrels because they do not have any cherubs. Spandrels are the four corner pieces on the dial. Also the dial is one piece very old ones the arch was attached to the main square. Also the makeup of the dial gives me the period of date. The trunk door is long and not short and wide which is another time scale. The case is very heavily decorated but crude, there are many differences between the left side to the right which indicates a country maker for the case certainly not a first class  cabinet  maker. The style of the hands also fit in to the time period as they are made of steel and not brass. I f I can be of any more help just ask.
