Hi All,
I just registered, so nice to meet everyone.
About five years ago, I purchased an Omega Sensorquartz (1640) on ebay for practically nothing, as it was missing two pushers and the module wasn't working. I am now interested in restoring the watch and was able to acquire a new module for the watch. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121209785846?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT (is what I bought).
I have yet to install the new module, but was wondering if I should purchase a new lcd screen as well? Usually will a new module be enough to get an old digital watch up and running? The current LCD screen doesn't appear to have any damage, but have never tried a repair like this before? I'm assuming a new module is akin to a new movement in a mechanical watch. A new old stock LCD is about 200 USD, so I'd like to avoid it if possible.
Also, since I doubt I can get exact match pushers, do you think with a micro screwdriver, would I be able to set the watch? Any advice on getting replacement pushers for the watch?
Thanks a lot,
Clifford
