HELP : " RICOH World Timer Automatic "

[CapMoy]

I bought a couple years ago this watch as a original one and I guess it is not. Trouble started when trying to set time at some point by turning the stem it feels like if something inside whas jumping and then easy again...deceided to open it up and found a broken teeth as seen on picture...Does anybody know where or how I may get a new one ?..Please.

There are plenty of Ricohs for sale by indian sellers on e-bay. Maybe a crap one could be a donor. The hour wheel should be identical. But who knows, there are many different Ricoh movements. I would give it a try.

Unfortunately that model is probably the most faked of the Ricoh range [emoji22]
Good luck

Hi Capmoy,

Did you solve the problem with the day not being aligned with the date?

A week ago, I was introduced the exact same watch and I almost purchased (dirt cheap compared to ebay ones). What stopped me was the date wheel not aligned properly. The seller told me that "a gear" was taken from a donor movement, not a big issue bla bla, so I gave up on it. I think I was lucky not involved cause I'm kinda obsessed and I'd spend more than watch itself to fix it. Phew...
