HI
I got these 2 as a pair from Ebay and they cost me around $57us, the gold one was listed as working and the other non functional. I hated the gold 6119 8500 but bought them in the hope I could get the other working which is a 7625 1994 and on-selling the 6119. Well they came in the mail and the 6119 works except I can't get the date to move by pushing in the crown, probably dirt under it from stopping it going all the way in, I don't know because the movement comes out the top and I don't have the tool to get the crystal out.
I pulled the back off the 7625 to see what was going on (not that I would know what to look for anyway) and found that there was a screw and tab missing that holds the movement into the case. I found these stuck in the movement when I pulled it out. I put it all back together and it works a treat. It also came with it's original tag but I don't know whether the band is original, it is one of those expandable ones, someone might be able to let me know if it is a replacement or not. I'm starting to like the 6119 a little more, don't know if I will sell it now.
