Hi guys, I'm trying to source this movement in my watch & the problem I'm having is I can't find the right movement for it? The nearest I can find is 805.112 movement but it's not got enough hand positions on it, I'm looking for an ETA movement that's got 4 hand positions with the date at 6 o'clock position, any ideas guys!

I'm not to sure mate? The movement inside the watch has no identification numbers but it's marked Swiss ETA on its body, I've found a movement in the cousins catalogue that matches all its sizes but it needs to have 4 positions to fit all the hand back on as the picture I've uploaded, the eta movement from cousins has only got hour, min & second hand + date at 6 o'clock pos?

I wonder if the extra hand is for showing alarm time or GMT time . That is important if you like to have the right movement . This is a movement with alarm. http://www.eta.ch/index.php?id=132&L=2.  

Has four hands . But two crowns . If you now what the extra hand is for it would be easier to search for the right movement on the internet? Picture of the movement would be great .

Hi rogart, I've managed to find the movement number engraved under the battery housing mate! It a ETA 805.161 date @ 6 position, I've looked all over the Internet to source one but I've had no joy in finding one yet! Have you got any idea where I'll get one from mate! Cheers

    • First of all, thank you for the pdf file of the book on how to replace a gem. So, if there is a problem with the ruby in the movement, should I buy a new or used movement and replace it? When I watch videos on YouTube of people fixing used watches, I feel like there should be a way to buy a gem. Is there no way to buy it?
    • I suppose @donutdan is not forced to earn his living by repairing watches.  I suppose he does it as a hobby and wants to gain experience, to get better in watchmaking and time is not the issue. Then @donutdan should rather try to repair the damage instead of swap parts from a maybe intact other movement. Swapping parts is not watchmaking. And often swapped parts are not the expected solution of all problems. All mentioned damages are repairable. Frank  
    • Yeah I figured that one out when I googled and realized that my spindle is actually from Horia. It's smooth with no screwable cap.
    • I am puzzled by something a snipped out something from your image and what exactly disassemble tell us? my confusion is the symbol for FHF looks like image I have below year symbol as a star and righted this instant are not finding what that means? I suppose we could use the fingerprint system to verify it really is what it claimed to be. Size itself is really interesting there's almost no watches in that particular size. Then were missing details in the photograph above like diameter of movements to verify it really is the size and are missing the setting components.   went to the bestfit book looking at the symbols didn't see it. Look at the link below I did find it back to the bestfit book and yes it really is there https://reference.grail-watch.com/documents/history-of-ebauches-sa/ then bestfit book says lists the size as 10 1/2. one of the problems with vintage watches is finding parts yes a donor watch would be good.
    • Actually, this could be the issue. Drag from the module could be overcoming the cannon pinion. It was definitely not at the point that the driving wheel was loose on the cannon pinion, it took a little bit of effort to rotate it when applying the grease. Maybe I need to look again at applying oil to the pivots.    Yeah, it's very annoying. I don't want to give up on it, so back on with it over again until I catch a break.
