Hi, can anyone help me with getting  a new movement for a watch.

A friend has asked me to try and get her watch going. She had it as a gift many years ago and it has sentimental value for her.

It's an all metal quartz movement and the watch came from Disneyland with Poo bear on the dial.

The only marking on the movement is " one jewel " and " France Ebauches "

Does anyone have any idea if I can obtain a new plastic quartz movement to replace this one and how would I identify the correct movement.

Hi GleaveandCoLuke, Thanks very much for that information.

I have cancelled the order for the original and ordered the one you suggested plus a set of hands and saved a load of money to boot.

All the best, Mike

      Managed to clear the short, cleaned and oiled the movement. Now testing for 24 hours before I case it up. The movement is so small that it's loose in my smallest movement holder.

      Message board problem

      By Mark · Posted

      Looks like the kind of message that occurs when there are routing issues between your local network and the remote server the site is living on - there can sometimes be 20 or 30 hops and when there are issues some of those hops become unavailable temporarily for some people but for others where there is a different path being used the issues are not manifest. Another explanation, and this used to happen to me a lot with my ISP, is using the ISP DNS servers on your device or router sometimes is not as robust as changing to a public service such as 1.1.1.1 or similar. I was having a terrible time watching Youtube a while back - changed the DNS on my Apple TV to use 1.1.1.1 and problem solved. However, these issues tend to resolve themselves fairly quickly.

      Help with repairing a quartz clock

      As mentioned by the other members, it’s a dismantle job clean and inspect the solder joints. It’s an older generation using the paxolin pcb  not the glass fiber ones.
