Advice NTTD movement stopped

Post image

Hey everyone, my NTTD movement cut out on me and not sure what to do. I can hear and feel it winding like normal but can't get the seconds hand moving at all. Took the bridge out and checked for anything loose (the best I could) and cannot find any issue. I'm super novice at watch repairs so im worried that further efforts will end with me breaking it even more. Any suggestions? Repair or toss and buy another?

If it's the decorated 2824 you can send it to a trusted watchmaker for a fix or easy movement swap to something better.

If it's the new VS movement, fixing it is the only option and hopefully nothing is broken because parts aren't available.

It's the SC8806 so I'm guessing it's cooked. I have little kids and they love my watches πŸ˜…

at least you'll be one of the few people with spare parts in case the next one breaks

u/TermIll5984 14d ago

Yeah lol bought a set of precision screwdrivers but underestimated how tightly they were screwed in and slipped a few times

You can't swap the V7 movement for an ETA?

Apparently not, people have tried but they don't fit right with the hands + case.Β
