Ocean7 LM-2AD

i bought an Ocean7 LM-2AD ages ago and it was a watch i bonded with very quickly even though it was black PVD [ i dont like black PVD ] and a rubber strap [ i dont like rubber straps ]
its a big watch with a double domed sapphire and inner AR coating, a lovely clear easy to read dial, backlight, alarm, chrono etc......quite advanced too, if you used the night light the hands would move to the 10 past 2 to clear the digital readout, TI case so light and comfy to wear.

then it stopped working ... i was really cheesed off so got in touch with Ocean7..........most of you will know by now i am like a dog with a bone when i am on a mission, but this time i couldn't even get a response from Ocean7......countless emails and messages....even on facebook.........nothing....apparently they dont do customer service on their old stock
nothing else for it then........a new movement, contacted ISA hoping they may just send me one...no such luck and wouldn't even sell me one bulk only seemingly ...200 plus units only ,but they did give me the name of a watchmaker in germany that buys them so i contacted him........sorry manufacturers only .........really ??
so i gave up
tonight though i came across a nice, friendly, reasonably cheap supplier in Canada that is only too happy to supply a new movement..........so as i type its being prepared for shipment and i should have it in about 6 days over the moon i am .........

That's been a heck of a lot of grief to go through to get to this point so full marks for perseverance.

Will it be a straightforward job to fit the new movement?

its incredibly easy, its just 2 hands and they can go in any position as you have to electronically set them any way.........no more than 5 minutes i would say
made my week this has

It does sound straightforward though I know what the result would be if I tried.

Hopefully it will arrive soon and avoid any Christmas post delays.

i am in no rush..as long as it turns up some time................as you are aware i have plenty to get on with

Unusual looking watch but I can see the appeal .. I love the hands very easy to see . Looks like christmas has come early for you getting hold of a movement well done

literally won a watch, got an email from the supplier..they are all out of ISA 9011's ooh crap ! but have posted the updated movement the ISA 9012 the new one is identicle apart from it now has a digital compass......so no more getting lost on the way to the toilet
so..from a sharp intake of breath...........to...NOW RELAX ! the gadget level has gone up one degree

Good customer service and a great result no wonder you are chuffed.

a little update, my movement arrived from Canada this morning i was expecting an ISA 9012/700......
i excitedly ripped open the package to find an ISA 9230/0005 5 hand analogue movement BUGGER ! sent the wrong movement !!!
sent an email to the supplier and they answered with an apology and a promise to supply the correct movement in January coming which is no problem as i wouldnt be touching the watch til then anyway.......
oh and i have to keep the wrong movement...no charge
maybe a bit premature, but thats good efficient customer service

looks like a chrono, but isnt


Invicta still use them in their Faux chronos, it has running center seconds, 24hr subdial, day subdial and date subdial as well as a date window !
