SAF issued Hamilton Watch
Hi All



My SAF issued Hamilton watch (those you get when u MR) is dead.



Have a new battery changed at K2 but still wun tick and Mr Goh does not have the spares to replace.



Checked with Swtach group and the replacement movement is $245.



Other than Swatch group, is there any other alternatives?



Thanks

Re: SAF issued Hamilton Watch
Did Encik GOH mentioned about the caliber number?

If yours is this...



it may cost you roughly 20% of what SWATCH Grp quoted nia... with shipping...

Mr Goh did not mention.

It is tiny winy quartz movement occupying 40% of the watch case.

Re: SAF issued Hamilton Watch
Just found out the movement # is 805.112

Any recommended online shop to get this movement?



So far found 1 Canandian Site (Perrin watch parts) selling it.

Generic Quartz ETA right? Bronze Age usually have parts. Their charges? A fraction of what swatch quoted you. Good luck in getting your hamilton ticking again.
