Description of πŸ•’ Quartex Q-80 Quartz Clock Movement: Ideal for 3/8” Maximum Dial Thickness, Featuring 7/8" Hand Shaft Length

Quartz Clock Movement Kit: This clock mechanism is perfect with its clock parts for repairing, replacing, or making your own DIY clock project. The clock movement design keeps foreign matter out of the gears, resulting in years of trouble-free operation. Clock Movement Measurements: Total hand shaft length is 20.6 mm (13/16 inch). Total shaft diameter is 7.9 mm (5/16 inch). Maximum Clock Dial Thickness: 7.9 mm (5/16 inch). Refers to the thickness of the combined material (clock face material and support board the dial is mounted to) that the threaded length of the movement shaft travels through. The hardware adds 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) making the total length of the threaded bushing 9.5 mm (3/8 inch). For finding a replacement, measure the threaded portion of the shaft on your old clock movement. If the length is shorter or equal to 9.5 mm (3/8 inch), this is suitable. Clock Hands Measurements: Total black spade hour and minute hand length is approx. 63.5 mm (2 1/2 inch), total red second hand length is approx. 69.9 mm (2 3/4 inch). The Q-80 movement will have a step motion that creates a ticking sound, powered by an AA battery. Package Contents Include: One easy to assemble quartz clock movement, one hour hand, one minute hand, one second hand, and hand mounting hardware.

Works best in clockworks

Small clock on clock advertising frame needs to be replaced and ordered. Installs easily and has kept the time accurate since installing over 2 weeks ago! Happy with the purchase.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

used to replace the movement

I used this to replace a (almost identical) movement in one of my wife's watches. I was looking for a similar mechanism with the same dimensions to use the same hands. It counts. Good price, I hope it lasts.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • almost everything is fine

My old Quartex died after over 20 years of service

I have replaced it with this new one. I kept my old hands and installed the motor in minutes. He keeps time very well and I hope to live another 20 years. I'm so happy my favorite watch works with Quartex.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Exactly what I was looking for.

Needed a new watch for a beautiful mid-century watch. This replacement worked great. Just make sure you understand how long the stem you need (I needed a longer one than usual because the clock was so thick). Was easy to assemble and has held up great.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Confidential

Works well but tricky to install

Pretty easy to install but read the instructions as it's not that easy to just screw it on and snap it in by hand. You need to line up your hands, which isn't difficult, but read the instructions. The reason I didn't rate it higher is that the little knob on the back that sets the time is VERY small for normal adult fingers so it's hard to turn.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Thin

Seller must show side view with stock dimensions. It's hard to tell what you'll get with the information provided. I figured I'd get a longer threaded shank to mount than what I ended up with. I had to return for a different and better part, it could have been avoided.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

bad experience

I contacted the company with the dimensions of what I need. I wanted to clarify what is meant by the length of the arrow and the thickness of the dial. They answered, but very hesitantly, suggesting units that would not work. Ultimate, frustrating and time-wasting experience. I couldn't use the recommended device and it was a waste of money. I have alerted the company and they have not responded.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Good but not great

Makes old watches look new again at a bargain price

I wanted to get my old watch working again so I looked into the mechanics of the old watch and found this as a replacement. Given the price, I was willing to take the risk. And it works great. The biggest problem was making sure I got the right thing. They're made to go through a certain thickness of material, so make sure you measure your watch or vintage movement accurately and buy the one you need. Once you have it, inserting it into the watch is a simple process. Just a few screws. It comes

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
