This Omega Constellation Day-Date Manhattan Quartz watch doesn´t run and it slips on the gear when I try to adjust the hands with the crown. Will it be more affordable to try to find a movement to replace or should I send it to a watchmaker for repair? I´ve heard from some others that quarts movements are very difficult to repair. Is that right?
Don't know if this helps or not but.....I had a quartz Seamaster 200. The movement was bad. I don't remember if the battery leaked or not... The entire movement was replaced for about $200.00.
Why, are you already a watchmaker and have all of the tools and a source for genuine Omega parts? Send it in!
Probably always cheaper to find a donor, but if a new movement costs $200 probably not worth the extensive time it requires Without knowing the movement I think Polaris watches that become just heads after being stripped for gold or losing their bracelet will be the ideal donors for this watch for sub $200
