Citizen Eco Drive battery?

I have been given a ladies Citizen Eco Drive watch with the number B023-S036623

on the back cover and the number B023M on the movement itself..

It was taken to a well known (No names, no pack drill) shoe repair/watch battty replacement

centre and they fitted a 317 watch battery for £16.00.

In fairness, when the watch owner returned to the kiosk and said "the watch doesn't work," 

he was given a full refund and told that he can keep the battery.

Needless to say, this watch will not work with a 317 battery and, try as I might, I cannot

find out which capacitor ( There are so many) is required for the watch.

Also, as can be seen in the picture, the glass is cracked and in need of replacement.

So, if anyone can throw some light on these two requests for help, I will be

very gratefull.

Hello, I had a similar situation with the B023M movement just recently.  Watch was sent to me with the capacitor "installed" but it would not charge regardless of the light or duration of time left under a light source.   I couldn't find any documentation on the correct installation position for the capacitor online or on images of similar movements online.  I did get the correct position figured out and the watch's original capacitor worked.  Sometimes the battery replacement 'experts' just place them in the cell cavity and hope for the best.

      Can someone please explain watchmaker service mark interpretation?

      By HorologyHead · Posted

      H Watch Repairers—is there is a ‘standard format’ for the service marks or codes lightly engraved inside cases of pocket watches or wristwatches?   Sometimes I can see there might be a reference to year/ month but other times am confused. I’ve included an image of the rear of a 1951 Hamilton 992B Railroad pocket watch as an example. Thank you for all information you can give, Mike

      Hi to Blackminou29–am a collector/ caretaker—good luck to you following your repair course—with hindsight I wish I’d pursued a career in both watchmaker/ jeweler fields—good luck with whatever career passion you engage.   Thank you Watchweasol for posting the amazing TZIllustratedGlossary! Best wishes, Mike

      Seiko 6601 Tech Sheet?

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      yes I noticed the new site and I miss the old site. It's the unfortunate problem of the Internet here today gone tomorrow sometimes some of the stuff gets backed up and sometimes well it does not then the problem with the early Seiko's were there were not necessarily designed for distribution across the planet and as such there is no customer support for them. So trying to find early stuff like technical information or sometimes even parts list for older Seiko is is problematic. But I did find you a you tube video. A quick look he seems to take a heck of a lot of time to actually get to the service single I did not watch all that but it does look like he did disassemble or started to say there's a tiny bit here

      An intro…

      By HorologyHead · Posted

      RichardHarris123: Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.  I have family all over Australia, went as £10 poms Thanks Richard. Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.

      New balance staff not riveting to balance

      By Endeavor · Posted

      The whole process and the progress are closely observed, it's hand-driven and very controlled. I can't see the "danger", unless you are watching the TV while doing it. As you could have read, and in this quote "wheel" is the balance-wheel.
