You are amazing. Thank you so much for this.
😆💯
I have never replaced a movement before, but I need to do it for my watch that was a ST1901 chronograph movement. Do you think that's a bit too much for a beginner?
🤔 I also have a watch with a misbehaving NH35, so maybe it would be better to start with that...
(Also, just an FYI: The singular form of the word "indices" is actually "index", not "indice" 🙂)
I would definitely start off with NH movement rather than ST. Good luck with the crusade to abolish the word "indices" 😆
@@watchify1775 lol noo "indices" is totally correct; it's the plural of "index". It's "indice" (without the "s") that is wrong.
Anyway, thanks for the advice and the video 🙂 I'm gonna order an NH35A movement
Thanks for sharing. God bless you.
Trying to change my watch motor. This really helps! Thanks. If you can share the link for the tools you used here on this video that would be a big help too 😊
I left links in the video description
Thanks for the video. Buy yourself a Movement Holder, so you're not holding it in your hand. Is a lot steadier.
Yeah I have thought about that. I probably will
Great vid! It really helped me out a lot! I didn't see a link for the hand mounting tool in the description. Is it a specific brand? It definitely looks nicer than the basic tools I've come across on Amazon.
Thanks! The tool I used to apply the hands did come from amazon. I bought www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0748HZTMH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but am only using the plunger part. I prefer these better though www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PVPJ44Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
In the video the springbar remover is a higher quality Bergeon that I paid around 30$ for.
Some move all the hands so they point in the same direction before removal
Hi, I really enjoyed you video. I have a watch my father gave me when I was 21.It wasn't apparently a very expensive watch. I haven't really worn the watch as it never kept running. I'm 73 now and it has been sitting in my jewelry box for 52 years. It has an automatic movement. The only reason I sill have it is that my father had it engraved to me on the back. I like the face and the case of the the watch also. I would like to war it. Is it possible to replace the movement in any watch. What would i need to know to get the correct movement and where would I get one from? Is it easy for a complete novice to do if I get the tools you recommend?
Sorry - I'm only familiar with more modern movements. I would suggest you google the watch model to find the movement caliber and see if they are still for sale and able to be replaced. I understand the watch has sentimental value but I would still be curious to see how much it is worth in as-is condition since it is so old. Some older watches are quite valuable and replacing the movement would ironically lower the value. Generally speaking, yes, with basic tools you can replace most watch movements. They sell inexpensive kits on amazon. You might also want to contact this youtuber to see if he would be interested in taking on the challenge of repairing the watch. He seems like a good guy. ruclips.net/user/WristwatchRevivalabout
When you change the movement that little rotating gear cannot be change ?? If the original movement has a stainless gear and if you put a new movement with colorful gear that cannot be change ??? Im referring that gear we use to rotate the hands tnx
I think you mean the rotor. Yes, they can be interchanged if the movements involved are the same model or family of models. Example a rotor from a 4R36 movement can work with another 4R36, a 4R35, NH36, NH35, 4R34. There is just a tiny screw in middle holding it in place.
If my watch doesn’t have a date window, do I need to worry about aligning the hands at the date change?
No you do not
Great Information and video I have a 28-13 movement that stopped whining for trying to fix it and now the crown stem will not stay in the moment any idea thank you
Sorry. Im not familiar with a 2813 movement. I tried googling it too.

Hello, any idea if i can replace 7019 movement with nh36 or even 7s26?
Looks like not without modification to the NH. They don't have the same exact dimensions
Hello,
I have an older model Rolex date just (I think that's the name). I'm curious to know if it's possible to replace the movement with something like a Seiko movement?
🤔
can you do a tutorial on raplacing quartz with automatic movement? thanks!
I don't think that is possible. I looked at all my watches and the only candidate where it might work would be my solar quartz diver SNE583 but I have my doubts
Was more like how u swap a chinese to a miyota (SL 28s and how you find the miyota equivalens)
Does the minute and hour hands have to be in a specific spot for the second hand placement? And should I stop the movement to place the hands?
No. For second hand placement it doesn't matter. Movement doesn't have to be stopped to place hands.
Thank you for the reply :) and awesome content my friend!
Thanks for posting this. I have just found out that it will cost almost double the price of a brand new 2824-2 movement to have my Mühle glashütte serviced.
Therefore I think I would like to swap out the movement myself.
It looked like you were using an LED magnifying glass rather than a loop.
Would you recommend this and what type was it.
Thanks...Jim
how do you know what size movement you need to use how do you measure that? i need to replcace my 47mm panarai replica movement
I'm not sure what movements that watch would use. I'm only familiar with 4R/6R/NH movements which are almost universal to Seiko and many micro brands. I don't need to measure since I'm replacing with a movement in same family.
@@watchify1775 Thank you, sorry its 44ml so if i buy the exact same movement thats in my watch it should be ok? its just a cheap st2555 movement
Hi how do you know what movement to order to replace an old one.. I have an homage watch but no idea what the movement is
usually the case back will tell you what movement came with the watch. If not, you could open the case back and take a look at the movement itself. Googling is very helpful once you have a few bits of info
Probably a NH35/36, Myota, PT500 sw2000. Those are the most common.
I want to replace my watch movement but I don't know what one I need because there is no writing on it. It is a very cheap Chinese movement
If the watch is inexpensive, may make more sense to just purchase a whole new watch. Otherwise you can google the watch brand\model to try to get info on the movement inside.
