Restoring a beautiful Pionier London Diamonds watch

Repairing a broken Pionier London Diamonds watch with a sheared off minute wheel.

Skeletonized watches aren’t for everyone, but I like them. This one has Seiko’s magic lever winding mechanism, but I believe either Seagull or Hanzhou made these movements starting in the late 2000’s, calibre number CH-2189. I have a watch with this movement in it with a few additional features like day date and 24 hour dials

Thank you for the info. I did not find the model number engraved in the movement mainplate like in many other brands. Nice to know that you narrowed it down!

looks like there's some Seiko parts in that movement beautiful all the same

[@jesusthewatchmaker]

Yes, parts of the design of the movemnet is inspired by Seiko's 7009A movement (include the magic lever). In fact the minute wheel I substituted come from that very Seiko movement.
