Watch Repair

[Rveli]

Hello All,

I need help getting this watches screen repaired or replaced. Preferably I would have it repaired.It was my fathers. If that is absolutely not possible across any resources anyone familiar with this can see, then I would ask for a similar screen replacement. My father committed suicide when I was a infant. He was wearing this watch at the time. I grew up in foster care. I didn't have a conventional child hood. I grew up in foster care. It was alright, there is some good people out there.  I was in the U.S. Active Duty Army as a Combat Engineer; MOS 12B. I'm a veteran of the Iraq war. I served in Kirkuk and Baghdad 2009 & 2011, respectively. I'm not trying to tap that for sympathy, honestly. I'm tapping it in hopes brothers will take interest. This is one of the few family heirlooms from my father that family has. I would like to keep it in the family so my son has some heritage one day. Even if we took out the old outer display and just used the metal housing I would be happy. I have $200 negotiable amount to spend on having it repaired or tastefully adapted. I'm looking for honest help. Please advise.

 

Thank you for your time,

Reggie

Hi Reggie. I don't want to be insensitive but do you happen to know what happened to the watch ? Did it suffer a hit or something ?

I'm not a digital watch professional but I think that it's possible that you might have to replace the the lcd screen and perhaps some of the inner components or maybe the entire movement altogether to get it going.

I wouldn't say that's a bad thing as these things happen every now and then and the watch itself (the case) is in good condition.

If a replacement will be necessary there are donor watches out there on the internet... More so I do have a feeling that the movement inside is common for a handful of models which makes things easier.

Ebay might be of help once you decide what has to be done.

This one seems to be the same model as yours but not sure if it's functional or not.

This one seems to be the lady version of your watch and is functional. It's quite posssible that the insides will fit your watch as well.

Good luck!

Please post a picture with the back removed to identify the type of module being used. It should not be difficult nor expensive to find a replacement. Just be aware that LCD watches, calculators and similar devices are prone to failure over the years. Chemical degradation is the mainly cause.

I hope you manage to find a donor quartz module. Please keep us updated. $200 will be enough to repair it and have a celebratory drink afterwards[emoji3]

Donor movement is the easiest way for you my friend, and for someone that has done two tours and then some, you sure have well looked after hands there!
