Description of 🕰️ Quartex Q-80 Quartz Clock Movement with 11/16" Hand Shaft Length, Suitable for Dial Thickness up to 1/4 Inch

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 15.9 mm (5/8 inch). Total shaft diameter is 7.9 mm (5/16 inch). Maximum Clock Dial Thickness: 4.8 mm (3/16 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 6.4 mm (1/4 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 6.4 mm (1/4 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.

Easy to assemble with clear printed instructions

I restored an old wall clock my wife loved with this quartz movement. The importance of ordering the correct shaft length cannot be overstated. It took me more time to choose the length than to disassemble and assemble. Works flawlessly. Exceptionally accurate. Happy customer!

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Clock stopped working after 4 weeks. The seller (klockit) did not reply to my Amazon messages. However, I was able to contact support through their website. She explained that when the mother got dressed, the clock would stop. Loosening the nut solved the problem.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Minor issues

Tick ​​tock again

Turnkey life restricts your visits to stores for items not available here. Thank god for Revane. Something as simple as this watch ALSO works through Revain - it's a challenge. Make sure the shaft matches the size of your watch case. I didn't, so I tweaked it a bit to make it work. In short it was a good buy, a good price and, as always, excellent delivery.

Pros
  • So far so good
Cons
  • Nothing here

Everything was exactly as described in terms of the size and dimensions of the device. I used it to replace my existing wall clock with a broken mechanism. Assembly was easy and the instructions are very clear. It took about 10 minutes from start to finish. The only downside is that I would like the hour and minute hands to be more pronounced or bolder. The clock is in the room across from my apartment, where the hour and minute hands are sometimes difficult to see.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Secret

Movement works well but 1/4 " front thickness is not accurate

Movement works well but 1/4" front thickness is not accurate. I had a dial exactly 1/4 inch and it didn't work. The lock nut didn't fit. In my case, I was able to align the dial to 3/16" and everything was fine. Certain watches didn't have a separate dial, so it just depended on the thickness of the wood. The watch was made to order, including the wooden hands. I was a little worried that the mechanism wouldn't power the wooden hands but that wasn't a problem, he's having a good time.

Pros
  • Absolutely fantastic!
Cons
  • Expensive

I will not buy again

This (and I suspect all small cheap movements) is extremely difficult to work with. That would probably be fine, but the hour, minute, and seconds hands are so faint that it's almost impossible to set them properly without distorting them more than a little. so hard on the actual mechanism that you can't just press them in place causing them to bend. Then when you finally get them together as best you can and hang them up, the "arms" are dangling and it's difficult to get them (with the wheel…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Negative present

Install an old Skillcraft clock and it works again

I received this part to replace an almost identical part in a 1990's Skillcraft clock (Chicago Lighthouse for the Blind), you know, standard government type 12" white dial with black numbers. The movement in this watch eventually broke after all these years, and the case back was inscribed "Quartex," so I figured it might hurt to try that. There are a few minor differences, the most notable of which is that the hands of what I replaced hardly fit this model due to small differences in the…

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • Damaged
