GatuidaClock Mechanism Replacement, Clock Movement Mechanism Battery Operated Quartz DIY Wall Clock Movement Repair Parts Replacement

I bought this movement to replace a movement in a typical inexpensive clock, whose styling I happened to appreciate. I didn't want to lose that clock look...so why not replace the movement only, right?This is a typical inexpensive battery powered movement. So far, so good. The difficulty arises when trying to get specific dimensions for the triple shafts which drive the hour, minute, and second hand.While some vague numbers are supplied on this (and virtually every other) replacement movement Amazon page, the truth is that the numbers are just that, vague.As a machinist and tool guy with an over-equipped personal garage/machine shop/electronic bench/auto repair center, I am well equipped to deal with these vagarities...and it was a good thing, as I had to use a special tool to ream out my original clock's hour, minute and second hand to match the dimensions of this clock, even though the clock page appeared to have matching dimensions. They just weren't. Suppose I should expect that, but a little annoying for me.For other people, who don't happen to have a step micro-reamer for clock hands, it would be a deal breaker. Of course, if the mfg. SUPPLIED replacement clock hands including the second hand, this might not be an issue. In the case of this movement, what was supplied was wholely inadequate as a match for my schoolhouse clock. No knock against them for that, as they could not possibly anticipate every clock hand size. But they most certianly DO know the dimensions of their product's three driving shafts...and they should list them.For that inadequacy, I deduct one star. I deduct THREE stars from the "instruction quality" as they were non-existent. I deduct TWO stars from "easy to install" since I had to modify my parts to fit their movement, something a average buyer is not going to be able to do. Accuracy seems about as good as any battery powered movement...which is to say very reasonable over a 30 day period.If you don't mind fighting the battle of the shaft dimension, go for this one. If you need something that is accurate dimensionally, then be aware that the advertised shaft dimensions are rather approximate.

The arm pole could be a tad longer. It's short and the hands drag and it causes problems. It's a very thin clock face so it should not be an issue. But sadly it is and I still have a clock I cant use.

It didn’t fit very good but I got it to work.

I was so excited when the wall clock with a picture of my oldest grandson started working again!! My son and his wife gave it to me over 15 years ago and I thought I was going to have to try to salvage the photo and throw the clock away. But no!!! I was so excited when that second hand started moving! I found instructions on lines
