Keep up the good work, Nice to see new individuals getting in to this hobby, The thing I have found with some Seiko quartz movements is to just lubricate lightly and then wind the hands around several times in both directions and then put a brand new battery in it and leave it sitting for some time whilst randomly winding the hands, again in both directions, Always remember that quartz movements tend to have a hacking function so pulling the stem out to set the time will stop the seconds hand from rotating, so remember to push the stem back in after time setting has been achieved,
The Seiko 7N43 quartz movement is a direct drop in replacement. Of course it doesn't have jewels, but if you want a watch that works, that is the way to go - if you cannot repair the 8123.
Hello Mark, yes. Also, I determined the VX43 movement will work as well. Found a dealer carrying them for $7 each. More cost effective than Ebay and a donor coil from a past movement for $60. I'm in the process of putting it in.
@@robertjordan7323 I’m just starting. This was my first real watch, and I recently found it at my moms house. The battery had leaked, so I cleaned that up as best I could with tweezers and rodico. Then I popped in a new battery and prayed but to no avail!
Hello, great video. I have the same movement and the date wheel gets stuck, it cant advance on the next day, the day wheel advances but the date gets stuck. Do you know how to fix this?
Hello Franke, thank you for the inquiry and watching my video. I'm a hobbyist at this and the watch you speak of may be more suited for a watch maker. Have you tried a watch maker/jeweler?
@@frankevega No worries. When I finish the video on this watch, my most economical solution was to buy a new quartz movement and install it. Replacing the defective coil on the original was way too costly.
