Seiko quartz movement obselete, what can I use instead


Recommended Posts

Guys, im in need of a replacement seiko 4N00B quarts movement,  unfortuantly cousins have obselete stock, now I know ive asked this before and have used the search function, even my content but have been unable to find the answer, someone very kindly pointed me in the direction of hatorri vx00 movement, well I thought they did, I have ordered and other but the dial feet locations are different.

Now I'm pretty sure that before the equivalant movement was a straight swap with no need to do anything, but I cannot remember, so if possible does anyone know of a replacement movement for the Seiko 4N00B movement please. Cheers guys

Ok guys think I might of worked this one out, first off the post, I posted that on the seiko forum and not here, so that's that question answered. As for the movement, well ive bought a vxoo to replace the seiko, having put both on my cheap quartz tester and having nothing happen I was thinking that both movements were shot, anyway I changed the batteris and tried again, still nothing, then the eureka moment, no second hand so these movements only tick once a minute not every second!!! 

So ive replace the battery in both movements and attached hands and will see if the old seiko can continue to work or if I need to fit the vx movement into the case in its place.
