I only have a hope and prayer that I can get some help.

I have a Oakley Minute Machine 10-194 Watch that was given to me as a wedding gift from my wife in 2011. The "Movement" is damaged and I'm needing to purchase parts and I'm having a hard time to finding them. This watch means the world to me and I need help purchasing parts

Any advice is greatly needed and appreciated

you can get a replica, because the machinery is the same as the original, in this case a replica helps a lot.

Thanks so much! Is there a special website that I should look at or a certain number I should call?

Thanks again!

First off, welcome.

I would recommend taking it to a local watchmaker. OMM uses Rhonda movements, which are super cheap. A watchmaker can source out the Caliber 5040.B that the watch uses and plop it in for you (or you can just source out the movement yourself and plop it in yourself).

If the current movement is especially important, the local watchmaker can fix that, though it'll probably be more expensive since their hourly rate to fix a movement is a lot more than the cost of a whole brand new quartz movement.

Thanks for the welcome and the help!

I have the Oakley Minute Machine 10-194. Can I assume that the Caliber 5040.B happens to be the movement that's needed from Rhonda movements?

Or are you saying that I should reach out to Rhonda movements, and just start there?

I'll definitely plan getting a good watchmaker involved. I just didn't not if I needed to supply the parts or they would. I'm in this mess because I took the watch to a low end jeweler and when replacing the battery they put a back plate on incorrectly and it never sealed. water got in and rusted the movement.

Thanks for the help!

Great advise,

I'm ok with just purchasing a new movement. I could be wrong but I don't think the one I have can be fixed.

Is there any other replacement parts that typically get replaced when something like this happens? I just want to make sure I purchase everything I need.

Thanks so much!

It is the specific movement you will need. The “S” version of it with 13 jewels anyway (not the cheaper version with 6 jewels) as seen here:

You can get your watchmaker to source the movement for you if you feel safer that way. It'll cost you a bit more since their cost structure is higher, but it's certainly less headache and gives you piece-of-mind to know the source of your parts.

Have a look at eBay item 174081098980.
Not only does it have the 12 jewell Swiss movement, it also has the correct white numeral on black background datewheel.

It would be an easy task for a watchmaker to switch the datewheels over but this way will save a bit of labour costs.
