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?

    • That would be something! Which brings me back to;  
    • you think you're going to sleep tonight you're not, you're going to ponder the question of what makes you think those of the right parts?  
    • Does anyone knows what size case a need for a dial diameter 20.60mm?
    • Sounds like the story with my Rolex. Poor (expensive) job done by an official Rolex dealer with an "in-house" watchmaker, hence I learned watchrepair and did the servicing myself. Same story as I learned with the Omega 861, again poor job by an "in-house" watchmaker by an official Omega dealer. Once your watch goes through that back-door, you have no idea what is going to happening to it 🫣   Quite nice that they sent back the parts which had been replaced !
    • yes that's definitely not right at all. I have a picture one of my friends has a Omega coaxial there was having issues to lose asking me where he should send it. As that's a specialty watch I suggested the service center. When he got it back he sent me a picture so the replace the dial as you can see the hands the mainspring barrel and I think the price was really quite decent considering all the stuff they can replace. So I do know they do change the barrels but the other person I worked at the service center when I would ask questions and unfortunately I can't remember all the answers. I think a lot of the changing a parts is at the discretion of the watchmaker. Plus I don't know enough about the chronographs and whether that would be considered a vintage watch? I take some of the vintage watches may have been sent directly to Switzerland or another service center. Obviously with a watch like the one down below they probably have a infinite supply of parts is its relatively modern vintage stuff becomes more interesting even the watch companies don't have necessarily infinite supply of parts. But no matter what the watch shouldn't disintegrated six months that's definitely an issue.
