Long time coming, but I now finally own one of these.
Unfortunately the movement is shot - the previous owner sold it as such. I need to source and fit a new ETA 955.411 or equivalent. Only ones I see ‘new’ on ebay from that range of 955 movements are different (955.112 etc), and none with black date wheel.
Crystal needs replacing. A little worried though since the internal bezel rests behind it. Prefer not to damage.
I was certain that I packed a black nato for this (it’s been sat in Germany at a friend’s), but just like my Kuota, after the BA flight it has disappeared into fat air.
We put a new battery in and it started to tick. Strange since it was meant to be broken. Wearing it for now to see if the movement has any issues after all.
Appreciate if you do find the 955.41x, as it looks like this movement is ‘in need of a service’ after all. It has lost two minutes since yesterday, which is disappointing/totally expected.
