Myota watch movement

[stephent]

Hello,  

I have an old Timex watch that belongs to a good friend.  It has a myota movement in it but as far as I can tell,  no numbers to identify the movement.  How do I go about buying a new movement when I don't know which movement it is?  Thanks in advance

All miyota movements I've seen have a stamped number.
Try posting a well lit and pinsharp focus pic or two. Someone might recognise it.

If you go to the Miyota website they list every movement available with a spec diagram. They are divided into type eg 2 hand, 3 hand, multi function etc.

The difficulty comes when you don't know the height such as 2033 or 2035.

Here's the best pics I could get.  All it says is unadjusted myota Japan on it and also no jewels . Another issue is that I can not get the stem to lock in place.  I've tried turning it while very easily pushing in on stem,  pushing release,  but no luck.  Only thing I haven't done is completely taken it apart

that is a Miyota 2115 - have a look at this on ebay item number - 123203142869

 

here the attached pic, there is a small dimple that when pressed down releases the stem

this is a very common feature to quartz movements.

JerseyMo, 

Thanks for the reply.  Mine doesn't have the dimple.  I noticed a lot do but mine doesn't.  But I will double check.

not an issue now that you are replacing the movement. once the new movement arrives it will have a stem.

you only need to remove the crown and fix it back to the new stem.  Of course you will also have to size the stem.

The old movement you have is missing half of its parts, which I'm assuming your friend may have removed. As JerseyMo said though, its a Miyota 2115.
