its a swiss army victorinox  model   It’s a Cavalry II Chrono model, listed in computer system as reference 20441 in 2005.

it needs a movement 


I have had a check on the bill of materials and not all of the parts are still available, typically, the complete house.

If somebody can repair this please pm me 

Thanks

Are you sure you need a new movement or replacement parts??

Can you show us a pic of the movement??

Cheers!

If it runs it doesn't need a new movement. I can see the crwon so why would need a new one.

Jeweller shops are the worst place to bring a watch, they know nothing but just want to overcharge for work that is then given to somebody else.

Hello - Are you based in the UK? I think that there are probably a few people who post into the forum who are capable of working on your watch, but my suggestion would be that it would be best to get a decent diagnosis first, so you can be presented with options in terms of the level of work you’d like them to undertake. Again, I’m sure there are people who can do this on the forum.

As the last respondee mentioned, I too would be wary of the advice given by jewellers shops, given their risk profile for this type of work is often very low.

Send me a PM if you’d like to discuss further.

Kind regards

Andy

Are you saying the watch is fixed ? The crown looks fine and of very good quality. Was the stem broken ?
The case back from the photo's looks like the Rolex type.
If you can do the basics yourself. It's normally going to be more economical to replace a quartz movement than have it repaired, unless we're going into the higher quality Eta ebauche etc

Doesn't run at all? Or an issue with the chrono function? Seems like the jeweler made you spend money to return it still not?

I said chrono but it is not. Have it opened again and take a good picture to identify the movement, which you can order yourself. Then you can find a local honest battery change shop to install it.

Most likely a ronda movement.

      Oh nice. I have a similar wedge style stump for my staking tool, so I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

      Gamblin Gamsol for cleaning?

      By joelcarvajal · Posted

      Thank you all for the replies!  Very informative! True enough, the Gamsol took some time to evaporate and does leave a residue. So not all naphtha are created equal!  Need to find alternatives then. i was able to try Hexane recommended by Alex and it seems great.  I wonder what the cons are?

      Yeah, I saw that in the tech sheet but I don't see how it can be adequately cleaned with the friction pinion still in place. I've accidentally pulled the arbor right out of the wheel once when I used a presto tool to try and remove it. Mark shows how he does it with the Platax tool. Those are a little too pricey for me so I got one of these from Aliexpress and I just push down on the arbor with the end of my brass tweezers. That usually gets it most of the way out and then I just grab the wheel with one hand the and the friction pinion with the other and gently rotate them until it pops off. Probably not the best way but it's seemed to work for me so far.

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      By Zedster · Posted

      Thanks, Jon Sounds like a plan. Obviously I'll have the face on so do you think gripping with the holder will create any problems, but I will check in the morning to see how feasible it is but I assume it only needs to be lightly held. As for holding the movement instead of the holder won't be possible in this scenario as one hand will be puling on the stem while the other pushes the spring down. That was my initial concern is how the hell can I do this with only one pair of hands. All the other times I've had to remove the stem hasn't been a problem, apart from the force required to release the stem from the setting lever, but now I need to fit the face and hands its sent me into panic mode. If it had the screw type release things would be a lot simpler but that's life 😀   Another thing I will need to consider is once the dial and hands are fitted and the movement is sitting in the case I will need to turn it over to put the case screws in. I saw a vid on Wristwatch revival where he lightly fitted the crystal and bezel so he could turn it over, is this the only option or is there another method?

      Main spring

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      Hi Jon, do You think that relation spring torque - amplitude is linear? I would rather guess that the amplitude should be proportional to the square of the torque. I had once idea to check it, but still haven't.
