This is one of my favorites in my collection, and I have looked far and wide for someone to fix it. There are lots of service centers that can do the work but no one has parts.  I had the movement replaced once before but guess it didn’t take. Sent it to Luminox’s service center they put 3 batteries in said it kept shorting out and needs movement replaced again. I would appreciate it if anyone could either point me in the direction of someone who can fix it for me or where I can get the parts.   Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't quite understand the problem here? in other words you sent it to Luminox they're telling you need to new movement just let them put a new movement in?

Then in order for us to help we need to know what the movement number is.

They don’t have the parts and the numerous other repair centers I have contacted don’t either. 
 

I’ve attached a pic of the numbers off the back of the case. 
 

apparently this version (digital/analog) was made in much smaller numbers than the analog version of the sr-71 Edition and no one I have contacted has the parts.

the unfortunate problem with some watches made much worse if the watch has electrical components is if there is an issue your basically screwed.  unfortunately we do not get a movement number from the back I did find this link which does suggest a movement number ISA 9011. then I'm finding basically no information on the movement at all. So that's the problem unfortunately with rare timepieces is getting components will be impossible. This means of you really want the watch to run again you basically will have to purchase another watch.

    • Thanks Mark, but can we still discuss the other important matter please and not be distracted from it. Thank you.
    • You're probably not going to see a dramatic change but you should probably figure out what the lift angle is as it probably is not 52°
    • In tandem with my last post regarding the removal of Google Adsense on this website - I have also decided to fully self fund this site as a gift to the watch repair community of which I’ve been a member of, and have benefited from since being extremely lucky to gain an apprenticeship back in the late 80s.    Well, that means that I have also closed down my Patreon account - or, to be clear, stopped all future transactions on my Patreon account and this is with immediate and permanent effect.    not to mention, but I will, I really really do appreciate the contribution all my patreon and PayPal supporters have provided over the years, you guys have been absolutely awesome and helped to keep this forum alive and available for those who might not be able to afford the payments.    again, from the bottom of my heart thank you.     
    • My pleasure. I would rather pay more than have those annoying ads ruin this site. They were a terrible idea and something I never even saw much, but I was on my iPad yesterday testing a security update for the forum software and it was impossible. I decided then - they had to go!!! Also, co-incided with this, for those who are paying for pattern in order to help fund this site - I’ve just disabled patreon. Future monthly payments will not be taken.  PayPal is a little more complicated. I will try to work out how to cancel the few subscriptions but if you are a PayPal donator then please feel free to cancel the monthly sub.  I will, however thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping to contribute to this site financially - it means a lot. But going forward, I’m funding it personally from my pocket and that’s the end of it 😄
    • Thank you Mark it definitely makes the site looked much nicer. Although I didn't mind the ads as long as it helped to pay for the messageboard but sometimes when you had the feeling that there were more ads than message board yes it was a little annoying. Thank you
