Bulova Broken

[Jojamoco]

Hello everyone,

I have broken a bulova watch whilst attempting to replace the battery. I think I went too far and now I don't know how to put it back properly. If anyone can point me to some resources like manuals or exploded parts diagrams etc I think I can repair it but I could not find the documents  myself. On the watch back I found these numbers, 98B236, C8691234, 17202526, none of these produced results.

If these documents prove impossible to find perhaps I will post pictures and the knowledgeable amongst you can help me with visuals.

Cheers

Google 98B236 brings up a nice Bulova quartz chronograph but I could not find out what movement it has... Please post photos.

Your post has enlightened me somewhat I did consider that the movement and the watch were not intrinsically paired. The movement is a VD53B. Now I can find more info and perhaps help  myself some more. I am still open to advice though as I am completely new to this hobby.

Thanks for the gentle push in the right direction

Hi  The VD53B  comes under the manufacturer of HATTORI  part of the Seiko Epson group.  I have enclosed the technical Guide for the movement which may be of some help to you    cheers
