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

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.

      Thanks for that Andy, Yes the new bracelet is worth more than the watch itself, Its one I have bought to service and clean-up and on-sell it as a project, look it may sell to someone who has a small wrist, I think I will buy an extender and may-be offer it up with a normal strap as well CJ

      Not always that simple. Typically the only reason we would have any way of identifying a watch is if parts were available at any time and somebody had a parts reference book then they would help you to identify the watches that they have parts or. Unfortunately there are hundreds of thousands of watch movements with no identification and of course typically no parts the classic place were watches would be identified would be under the balance wheel and your pictures don't really show a good view of that. Occasionally I've seen watches marked under one of the plates. They felt very proud of their watch is a very prominent Swiss company and they ask he stamped the bottom of a plate so you have disassembled find it. Then there is the other system the keyless parts make up something called the fingerprint system but you still haven't given us enough information to make use of that. Here's an image showing what a fingerprint system looks like. The PDF is based on the physical book the physical book has sizes of watches these are smaller ladies watches and keyless parts which in the physical book are printed at the actual size of the watch parts. So to identify with the keyless we need in your case diameter measured on the dial side and a good picture of the keyless parts and then you have to hope that this was made within the right time span of the books that have this system on the other hand a lot of times on the dial side they will also put markings. So basically to identify a movement it has to come out of the case and has to be disassembled.

      The strap is a 44Q6JB and hadn't realised how much they'd gone up in price. The used one I've got is very worn but may have other links floating around.

      Thanks Andy, The bracelet is sized very small, around a 14cm wrist. Were would one try to source original links, I guess they wouldn't be cheap if found. The bracelet end links have 4406 B-E stamped on them, is this the Seiko Bracelet code ?? CJ
