The NH-36 movement is pretty reasonable. Crystal is about $50.

Make sure you select the SKX007 version/option.

NH36 is a direct replacement.

There's TWO watch repair schools in seattle:

Alternatively, you can use this guy to modify however you want:

Nathan is great, his pricing is right on the site, and he can even source parts for you.

He did this whole watch for me with parts I supplied.
Highly recommend

I am going with Nathan...he is going to do some mods for me as well as swap out the movement to the NH36...all in still about $175 less the the quote I got here locally!

I appreciate all the help from everyone!

Cheers!
