Hi, 

work colleague dropped in his 21st present from 29 years ago, his Omega seamaster quartz, ref 196.0280

I am looking for a 1337/9600 electronic module to replace the original, but can't find on the t'interweb.

Then thought that a replacement module may not work due to age of electronics etc etc. 

How would i get the watch working for him?  could i swap another calibre perhaps? or should he accept it wont be working anymore?

comments welcome

Many thanks

That is probably the most sought after Omega quartz movement out there. Or maybe not. But i have seen many that would like to buy parts or get a new movement for that. Does look like your movement could have some corrosion from leaking battery. But it could just as well be okay.  Think there is a walk trough service on the forum. 

Finding parts would be difficult i think. And expensive. Maybe find a donor watch.

thanks rogart63,

by donor watch you mean another  working identical model?

Doesn't have to be identical watch . As long as it has the same movement inside. All depends on how much he  think it's worth to him.  He could probably send it to Omega and have it repaired. But would cost more then buying a new similar watch.

      Maybe a little off-topic, but it still amazes me that most people (and myself before I got into this hobby) don't realise that the movement of their watch was (in most cases) not made by the name on the dial of the watch. This is especially true of many 'fashion' watches which use the cheapest of cheap movements ($4 each) which are completely out of proportion to the overall cost of the watch ($++100s). Usually the actual manufacturer is stamped somewhere inconspicuous on the movement, usually around the balance, and this is what you need to find so you can locate spare parts or servicing manuals etc. This is like buying a top of the line Rolls Royce Phantom and learning it has a BMW engine..... oh wait a minute, it does! (6.75-liter, 460-horsepower BMW V12 engine - reference)

      I have an image of what the case is supposed to look like disassembled. then an interesting website https://www.mybulova.com/vintage-bulova-catalogs there's all sorts of interesting things here for anyone in watch repair. but for the particular subject these are the two I recommend. You can see page 7 is where I got the image of the case. Then the word apartment technical manual is really a training manual of watch repair covers wristwatches and pocket watches everybody should have a copy of this.

      they are the same movement and under the same umbrella, sometimes you will see both company marks stamped on the main plate...... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.opswatches.com/a-complete-guide-to-watch-movement-manufacturers/&ved=2ahUKEwiXydnwsdqFAxVfRTABHaPZDPo4ChAWegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw1REXmYw__k9RBspLm7cmDV

      I agree, the bezel needs removing.  If there isn't a gap between the case and bezel for removal, it's probably screw on. If so you need to grip the bezel itself.

      Looking at the picture, the case screws appear to stop the movement moving forward  (towards the crystal) indicating that this is the way the watch needs to travel to remove it from the case, hence it appears to be a front loader, this is just a 'rule of thumb' and as ever there are many exceptions. Hence, I would be fairly confident that the front bezel needs to be removed and the movement taken out the front of the watch. Look on the bezel for a small slit, similar to what you would see on a snap-on case back to remove it then the watch movement should fall out the front of the watch.
