OMEGA f300HZ

[andymac00]

Does anyone know if there's a replacement movement for an Omega Constellation f300HZ?

Thanks!

This is an ESA movement, calibre eludes me. (Calibre 9162, 9184). This movement was used in many makes aside from Omega. Certina being one make that used it. You’ll likely end up having to buy a donor watch. If you have a movement, why not have it serviced?

+1 on the service/repair.
If you post where you’re located, someone may be able to recommend an electronic watch repairer.

ESA 9162 = Omega cal. 1250

I sent 4 F300's to John at budget accutron, and he took very good care of me.
if its not completely f'd, he can repair it. maybe he can replace the movement if it is.
worth a call.

Have a few f300s myself and loved wearing them. At the time, it was cheaper to buy a new working one than to get them repaired. Now looking to get a few serviced and running. The dials really are striking when on the wrist and have a lot of character which watch brands and trying to copy now. Need to photograph some of them and post some pics.

Thanks for all the responses. I should have said I'm based in Fife, Scotland

If you are in the UK, look here:

I haven't used him for years and he has been known to go on sabbatical and may in fact be so at the moment but his work is of a high standard and he knows his stuff. From memory his name is Paul Wirdnam.

There is another UK hummer specialist I have used, Keith Tilley. He is active on TZ-UK (and perhaps here) but otherwise I wouldn't know how to contact him. Maybe a search or question there might find him.

I use several very reasonable and reputable tunning fork service guys in the states. I'd be glad to share their details with you. JwRosenthal on this forum is very knowledgeable about tuning fork watches(hummers).

I've used Croydon Watch Services and found them efficient and helpful.

Never been there and shipped by Royal Mail next day delivery.

They charged me £30 to examine the watch and give an estimate but deduct that amount from the total charge if you go ahead with the service.

I suggest sending it to one of the suggested watchmakers above instead of finding a complete, working movement for it. You will have a fully serviced watch for the price of a replacement movement or maybe even less.
