Looking for recommendations/advice/watchmakers to service a favorite that's been out of commission for a bit. My Tudor Jumbo Date + Day (7017/0) has stopped running and needs to be looked at. My understanding is that the movement is a A. Schild 1895 movement and while I believe they were purchased by ETA several decades ago, I can't find anything definitive about parts availability for these older AS movements.

What continent are you on?
@Dan S - BTW, your 2012 3570.50 I bought from you back in 2018-ish is still going strong. Still one of my most worn watches.

This particular calibre is available in 2 sizes with slightly different calibre names but still the same movement with all shared parts.

I recently had my AS1895 repaired and serviced and had quite a battle to find parts mostly because the movement got used in a lot of Tudors so parts ran out quickly with Tudor repairs and people being prepared to pay higher prices however the movement is usually available if you look for it's generic AS series calibre numbers.

In the end with my repair I was lucky to source a NOS movement from ironically Germany 😀

So happy to hear that! Please forgive me for forgetting. 😬

Very clean watch, IIRC.

Did you or your watchmaker just contact the parts suppliers? I’ve never had issues just buying the parts I needed. I haven’t bought whole movements so maybe it’s different for that, but most watchmakers just buy the parts they need rather than the whole movement.

In this particular case my WM had tracked the issue down to the auto reverse sub assembly but inspecting individual parts and plate could see no standout problem part. The sub assembly didn't seem to be available as a complete part and buying each part, substituting one by one, by cost and time is not an economic solution. He had it assembled and apart so many times already it was past his limit of sanity. Luckily a complete NOS movement was available at a very cheap price US73.00 including freight to NZ, it became a no brainer.
