Diesel Daddy 2 - DZ 7314 - battery replacement


Rez

Recommended Posts

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

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
