    image.jpg Hi, just got this quartz Omega watch with a 1342 movement. I bought the battery with the adaptor to see if it worked. The second hand moves two seconds and moves back. My watch repairman had a look at it and took some wheels off to inspect them. He thought something might be blocking the wheels. He showed me one of the wheels and told me it had a tiny fracture. So, I need to get this tiny wheel to repair the watch. Unfortunately he didn't know the part number, so here I am. Would anybody have the part number for this wheel. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the info. I did see that, except all wheels are shown in profile. Not easy to know which one it is.

    Thanks but that's 3 times more then I paid for the watch. The worst part is I only need the small wheel setting on top
    of the motor. Your right, l'll try to find a donor.

    Finally I found a donor. The wheel is not sold separately. Good luck.

    If you are looking for donors, be aware that tissot used the exact same movement in some late 1970s pieces, may be a cheaper option than Omega. I have a fully working 9K gold Tissot but wont be selling for scrap I am afraid!

    Here is a pic, looks remarkably similar to the Omega above in many ways!:

    To be honest I am not certain, though that number is on both the bridge and black circular serial plate so it would make sense. I was fortunate that when it came to me it just needed a new battery and when changing it I noticed the uncanny resemblance to the Omega 1342. I am guessing that the base movement may be an off the shelf ETA model which was picked up by both, or it could be a Omega movement used under licence by Tissot but by the late 1970s I think Omega was on the path to using ETA movements so it is probably the former.
