Miyota 8215


Recommended Posts

Looking for dial feet screws for the above movement as they didn’t come with the movement or supplied with the dial. Nobody seems to stock them although they do have a part number. I can buy a box of  a hundred generic screws  but will probably never use 98 of them so any idea where on earth I can get them

First of all, "dial feet screws" aren't really screws, but eccentrics permanently attached to the plate by riveting. Getting 3 out of a box of100 would be actually a good result, but you can buy 1,000 generic screws and none will do. 

That being said, with Miyota more than other makers, parts are simply unavailable. Either work-out a ingenious solution, or buy a new mov.t.

BTW, we have a sections here used to introduce oneself even before asking questions.

How many screws do you need? Have some scrap 8200 and 8215 movements. DSC09715.thumb.JPG.8a090579fa5087e2bd0519f48490834d.JPGDSC09714.thumb.JPG.1c8965dbe69a3b94e2ee5e3a95a8f3de.JPG

Hi Rogart, I hope you'll see this! I am in dire need of dial feet screws for the 8215, do you still have some? I am building a watch for my friend and I lost one...

    • No matter what I did, I could not get the amplitude more than 240 deg. At least there is 0.2 beat error and minus 1-2 s/d.  So, probably not the happy end I would have hoped for, but still I think the watch turned out quite nice. You be the judge of that. Thank you everyone for your help!  
    • its used to lengthen or shorten the suspension spring from the front f the clock dial, this in turn will give regulation to the clock. Try inserting a pocket watch key or even better the double ended key for the clock into the small aperture on the dial at the top and turning it, you will see the suspension block either raise or lower. If it raises the clock will run faster if it lowers the clock will run slower
    • Grateful for info regarding the nature & function of the horizontal cog and the unit it's on top of in the picture. It meshes with a vertical cog (enclosed in the unit) on the arbour which is supported at its other end by the back plate of the dial unit to which it is not quite perpendicular...
    • does anyone knows what type of battery this digital Watch takes?  
    • Hello good watch folk ,I  just fancied a light hearted discussion after my head was starting to spin over Epilame 😅. Specifically I'm meaning the sale of vintage watches, say nothing past the 1980s market. The stuff we see on ebay and other similar sites and found at carboots, curio shops etc. And are  we thinking its reaching a peak volume ?  Younger generations clearing out passed parents and grandparents possessions.  The younger folk are not as sentimental as the old fogies ( I'm now nearly at an age that i used to think was old fogie age ). When might it have started ?  i often wish i discovered the hobby much much sooner when selling your grandfathers pocket watch at a boot sale for a few quid was just a way to offload some tat. And when might it slow down. Thoughts anyone ?
