Orient c7710 movement alternative?

[Emancipator]

I have an old Orient ladies watch that is totaly dead.

It has some sentimental value to my vife, so I somehow need to make i work again.

The quartz movement is a Orient C7710, and as Orient is a subsidiary brand os Seiko, I was thinking that there might be a equivalent movement from Seiko I could use as a replacement.

So my question is, if anyone know of a movement i could use insted of the C7710?

I know it's a long shot.

But I am thankful for any help or sugestions.

Limited parts are available for these if you know what's wrong with it?

I have no indication to what is wrong with the movement.

So it would be a blind guess.

For me it would have to be a repair job.

You may get away with something like a VX32 but will need different hands and possibly a crown.

Hi, well you've got this far dismantling so you may as well take another few steps. Firstly though, be extremely careful with the coil, I've marked this in red,

One slip of the screwdriver onto this then it really would be dead, the copper wired are extremely fine and so so easy to break.

So my first point is the battery positive contact looks either bent, broken or just snagged up

That needs to spring into place so the side of the battery makes contact, you can see at the bottom centre of the picture where this positive connection is made to the circuit board.

Pretty obvious, make sure you are using the correct size battery, go for good quality not something from poundland, and if you have a tester make sute the battery is good at 1.5v, I've had bad new batteries before.

If the watch still won't run, carefully remove these two screws

A common point of failure is where the battery negative terminal makes contact with the circuit board, that's the terminal visible at the bottom af the battery compartment, see if the contact point is clean. Removing these two screws should enable the circuit board to come out. The screw on the left will be longer as it also clamps the circuit board to the coil contacts, I will say again though, be extremely careful with that coil, taking that screw out so close to the coil is where many watches meet their end. Cut a small piece of card and use some tape to cover the coil, don't stick tape directly onto the coil.
