I'm sure Roff or some of the other guys may offer some better suggestions but I know these folks sell movements. (They are in the U.S though.)

ETA lists the 988.332 as phased out.
I called two movement suppliers in the U.S. and both said it was not listed in their catalog.
Sorry Sonyman, I'm sure one of the other guys can help out.

The right website for Frei & Borel these days (at least for watches is www.ofrei.com - great bunch of people, and good pricing.

The only other people who may have one are Perrins in Toronto - no website but e-mail is sales@perrin.on.ca

They have the ETA 955.412 in their catalogue, listed as a 3 hands / date movement but, and it's a big but, they haven't published a full catalogue since 2002 and half their items are discontinued when you enquire.

I just called Tissot UK and they can change the movemnet but its exchange only they wont sell me or any watch repairer a movment cost is £70 for a full service and clean and replace the movemnet and £27 for a new saphire crystal so its going to cost £100 which I suppose I can live with but then it gives me an Aersopace in all but name only.
