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

This is a 805.161 movement from Esslinger . Does it look anything like your movement?

And with the date at 6 a clock .

Can move the date disc from the old movement to the new also?

      First Project Already A Bit "Sideways"

      By DDean · Posted

      I will try this weekend.  I've tried several times with my cell phone and it's just too small and recessed to get a good picture.  I need to get my macro lens and tripod out and then figure out how to get enough light down the hole in the side of the man plate to  actually show the top of the broken screw. I appreciate the effort and will try and get that pic this weekend.

      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.

      Citizen Cosmotron X8 04-4800 Fault finding

      By Simeon · Posted

      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.
