About this product
If you searched 'vh31 quartz movement' or 'watches with vh31 movement', you are probably planning a movement swap — either repairing a watch or building one that looks the way the smooth-sweeping second hand looks on more expensive pieces. This listing is a TMI (Time Module) VH31B, three hands, second hand sweeping rather than ticking, and the title labels it as 110 ½ ligne. The measurement step matters more than the purchase: open the watch, measure your existing movement's diameter and thickness, note the hand height and the position of the stem/crown, and compare against the numbers the seller publishes before paying — movement sizes are quoted in ligne and a small mismatch means it will not fit the case. Also plan the consumables you will need: hands and dial feet must match the new movement if you are converting rather than replacing like for like, and press tools prevent damage when setting hands. If the case you own was designed for a different caliber, ask the seller for the full dimension sheet first.
