Repair to Christiaan Van Sant.

[ChrisVerhoeff]

Hi team, I've acquired one of these watches, and am looking for information on replacement parts.  The pendulum or giro bearing has died.  Want to use this as a test piece for repair.

Hello Chris and welcome to the forum. I'm not familiar with the brand, but I suspect it's a chinese movement. If so, a complete replacement might be possible, but new spares will be vey hard to come by. A donor is also an option, if we can identify the movement. Do you have tools to open the case and take out the movement?

Also, please clarify what you mean by giro bearing. Are you talking about the automatic winding rotor, the balance, or something else?

You can get the Chinese movement 2L55 from CousinsUK, Otto Frei and many others:

This is the back end of the Christian Van Sant.  The manufacturer (??) Is useless in regards to parts or repair.
