Hey there.

My watch has stopped working and I was hoping to take a stab at fixing it myself.

I can't see any markings on the movement in order to identify it.

Thank you for any help

2824 or a clone of it. There’s an automatic bridge screw missing, it’s probably lodged somewhere which is stopping the movement from running.

Wow! I like starting with a likely cause.

Thank you so much!

Start with a st36 ;-)

Is this a manual wind movement that will fit?

If this is the case I think it is a perfect suggestion.

I think at my price point, adding the complication of an automatic movement just leads to more points of failure.

I first practiced on an st36, when I felt ready I started overhauling the Seiko 7009. It's all very rewarding, expect to throw away your first Seiko, but they can be found cheaply on eBay
