Hi again Didier, For some examples of really cheap Chinese movements that would fit in your watch, look at the julesborel site under Miyota. They have some in the $11 range.

Hi Didier, My usual source is: http://www.julesborel.com/ Follow the menu to the watch movements, and then to Seiko. The prices you see are list. Volume and repeat business gets you a better price. It appears that the 7T32 is now unavailable, but I am certain one of the movements in the $20 range would be adaptable. I notice that I worded one of my sentences awkwardly so that it sounded like I was saying CORSERV might put a knockoff movement into a Seiko watch. That was not what I intended to say at all. I am sure that CORSERV will put a Seiko movement in your Seiko... It just won't be your original movement. It takes more time to tear down your original movement, clean it, make any repairs, and put it back together than it did for the factory assembly line to build it in the first place. I have heard stories of people sending in high quality self-winding Seiko's, Heuers, etc. for service at their respective factory authorized repair facilities, and having them come back with quartz movements. It is much cheaper and easier to do that than to service a watch. For most people, that isn't a problem, because all the watch meant to them is wrist jewelry. -Chuck Harris
