·Dear fellow members,
I am sure this topic may have been raised in previous discussions, but am having difficulties finding any information on it.
I have a 1981 Omega Seamaster quartz which is powered by an Omega caliber 1432 which has been water damaged.
I have searched for a replacement movement but due to age of watch, is hard to find the exact 1432 in optimum condition, All I found is information from other sites that the eta 255.111 is the base movement for it! That does not give me enough confidence that it is a direct replacement without any other alterations to watch out for!
I am not a purist as this is a keeper that once belonging to my late father, so i just want to get it running and if the eta 255.111 can replace it without any major issues, I would be grateful to be reassured from those more savvy on this.!
Any advice on this, especially with what to watch out for would be greatly appreciated by those who have more experience in this? Many thanks!!
