your best option is to serach for parts on EBAY.  But, know that chances are slim and it could take a long time.  I once searached for a quartz circuit board to repari a Longines and that took alomst two years.  Now I am faced with helping my watchmaker friend to find parts for two Jean LaSalle watches the orginals and not the Seiko version. My chances of winning the lottery are better!  but, I'll try.  right to win the lottery :)

Just report the model digits on the back XXXX-YYYY. The first 4 will indicate the module, which cost as little as 10 pounds. With that in hand you can go to any watch shop and pay a little more for the work. 

That if getting the watch to work is really important to you, otherwise with little more money you can get a nice solar Seiko or Citizen which never need a battery change.

That is a 7C17 -8000 i think . It's for blind or people with low eyesight . It's about the same movement as the 7c43 and 7C46 except without date . If you need parts like coil and circuit you can buy a new 7C46 movement . It's a great watch if you have low eyesight. A little cool as you can flip the lid and feel the hands.  I have a dial and case if you need that . Could fix it for you to if you are from Sweden?

      Incabloc Lyre Spring & Low Earth Orbit

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Instead of using tweezers, put a piece of rodico onto a toothpick or pegwood. Then set your spring to the rodico, this way the spring is not under any tension when floating it back into the bloc. As you bump into the bloc when trying to find the entrance the rodico will give but still holds onto the spring ie. You wont have the rigidity of tweezers.

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      If frank says these bombè jewels are for balances and similar pivots then they are used cupped side facing the pivot and then capped i assume. In Nicklesilver's reply i guess that cup can also be reversed and used as an oil reservoir leaving the shoulder riding on a less frictioned domed surface. 🤷‍♂️ Hence the use of them on wheels closer to the escapement that have less torque requiring efforts to reduce friction and are also uncapped.

      Commando special

      Looks that way, if it had any amount of significant jewel count it would say so on the dial.    Looks that way, if it had any amount of significant jewel count it would say so on the dial.  Same answer as Mike regarding the dial, its often just a slapped on name of a retailer but i thought you were way above this understanding Pete ?

      Gamblin Gamsol for cleaning?

      Light naptha is what you need to be looking for. The carbon to hydrogen ratio is high with heavy naptha, it doesn't evaporate as well as light naptha and is prone to leaving more residue. Try tom's suggestion of the mirror test.

      I'm going to be setting up a decent little workshop here at home.

      Its a big item Michael and a lot that could go wrong with the process of getting it to its new location. I once helped install one of these units into a conservatory that i had built. It was big and bloody heavy and took six of us to get it in safely. If you have sliding doors and you need to remove the whole frame then that may or may not go well. But i would advise getting a professional in if you have little knowledge on the installation of them. The glazing of the doors could well be 6mm laminated glass which again will be heavy very heavy if the glazing units are big. The glass would also need to be set up and packed correctly to open the doors properly more so if they are unframed and the sliders are upvc. Seems a shame but if no one is biting and that may be due to having no warranty i guess the only takers might be someone that installs them for a living and knows how to repair. If its fibreglass just be careful, i sometimes have to cut fibreglass baths out and they are nasty to work with . Thick gloves are definitely recommended,  not fun picking out fibreglass spells two days later that have started to go septic. Good luck with it all matey.
