Hi everyone,

The title is self explanatory. DZ7314 runs on 4x 377 batteries. I'm trying to replace them. Two were easy but I am having difficulty with the other two.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

This should be the same:

 

A big thanks for the video. It looks very much the same as mine. However I cannot get the result he's getting. :)
The battery for the chronometer watch(closer to the front of my hand once I wear it), he manages to fit it in by pushing/sliding the battery in. In my case, the batter sticks out from the holder from the side closer to the centre of the watch. There is a little bar passing over the edge closer to the side of the watch, once I slide in the battery underneath of that bar, the edge closer to the centre of the edge, has no holder or fit which keeps it in place.

For the other batter (for the watch closer to my elbow), there is a screw he's loosening then tightens once battery is in place. In my case, the battery doesn't seem to be fully fit in place. So tightening of that screw doesn't help.

Hi I am looking to purchase a Watch for my husband for Father’s Day . I’m looking for something with 4 time zones on it so I can set three of the clocks to the times of our children’s births and keep them stationary. And the forth zone active and working so he can wear it. I spoke with a watch repair shop that recommended the Diesel brand as they run off multiple batteries. The problem I’m having is finding out which watch will work I liked the DZ7360 but can’t find if it takes 4 batteries or not. The big daddy is the only one I can find that I know has multiple batteries would this style be the one that would best fit what I’m going for ?

Hi Texas Don     what make and calibre are the four modules  , make and number, The two that look alike look like miyota 2030/35 modules  the bottom one a ronda ? anfd the larger top one I cant decipher. It mayb that not all the batteries are the same in all modules causing the problem..the miyota ones are i think 377s but the others untill we know the make and calibre are unknown .  Miyota tech sheets attached      Battery SR626SW   cheers

Miyota 2035, 2036, 2039, 2033, 203A (1).pdf

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Sounds great! And yes, I would use grease for the keyless as well although treating the parts with epilame would make the grease less likely to spread in the long run. Not critical but won’t hurt. My current strategy is to epilame treat all parts getting in contact with oil or grease.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Knebo · Posted

      Hello everyone, for what it's worth, here is my approach: 1. Escape wheel submerged in Epilame, then dried quickly with a hairdryer. Then the final tip of the pivots are cleaned by poking into pithwood. The logic being that the Epilame is removed at the intended contact point (to avoid any residue that may mix with the oil), but remains in the areas where oil is not supposed to spread to (further down the pivot towards the wheel). The escape wheel teeth also benefit from having Epilame to keep the 9415 in place.  2. I use a syringe to treat only the pallet stones. I suspend the pallet fork with some Rodico so that the stones hang downwards. I notably use a rather thick needle where a drop WON'T form, but rather where the Epilame liquid stays in the needle tip, which I then dip into the pallet stones. It requires some practice to get the right amount of Epilame into the needle tip, but it works for me now. This way, no drop will "jump" onto the pallet fork and potentially go all the way to the pivots.  3. I let the movement run for a few minutes without lubricating the pallet stones... to scrape off the Epilame in the intended contact "channel". Then I remove the balance again and lubricate the exit pallet stone with 3-4 successive drops. See the "channel" that forms on the pallet stone in the picture -- not so easy to see, but it's visible.       I am conflicted about the use of Epliame in balance jewel settings. My impression is that the two jewels sufficiently suspend the oil (even 9010). Apparently Rolex recommends NOT to use Epliame there (heard from a former Rolex service center watchmaker), as it could cause additional wear. Apart from that, I follow specific instructions where I can find them. E.g. the infamous Rolex reverser wheels or sometimes (parts of) the seconds wheel. Exception: I'm currently servicing an Eta 2824 and will probably ignore the service sheet that recommends treating the whole keyless works with Epilame and then using HP1300... I'll skip the Epilame and use 9504 grease.

      Don't forget Mark is a hard working watch maker so he is also tied up with work. I'm sure he is keeping his eye on this forum making sure it is running along nicely.
