I'm not a hobbyist, I am just trying to get my daughter's watch fixed in lockdown.

I assumed it was the battery, so I got a new Philips CR1220 battery on ebay, it came packaged with a best before date of 2022-06. Her watch is a Lorus Z011 X009.

I took the 4 screws off the back, and then the 2 to lift the battery guard. Working with a magnifying glass I was pleased with myself for putting the new battery in (writing facing up) and refitting those small screws. But the watch did not start! I refitted the back so I would not loose the bits. A couple of hours later it's still stopped.

Is there anything I can do without bringing to a jeweler's?

I appreciate any advice!

Thanks, Tom.

Ok. I'm unsure what to listen for if the hand is not moving.

I was not sure what to take pictures of, do these help?

The train makes a single tic sound as the step motor kicks.  Just hold the piece up to your ears, you would here it if it is there.

The tic sounds the same as you would normally hear the quartz step motor makes, in case the train refuses to turn, you can still hear a healthy step motor kick every second.

If no tic sound then the fault is in EB electronic board or in the electric circuit.

If you do indeed have the Z011 calibre and not the Z020 (both are in the instructions you posted) then you have two batteries. The large battery (relatively speaking) you see when you take the cover off is for the back light only. The battery you bought (CR1220 ) looks like the large of the two. The smaller battery under the larger one is what powers the movement. I think the battery you are looking to replace is a SR626SW  (Sony 377). You can read someone else's adventure with that here: https://www.fixya.com/support/t11449536-replace_second_battery_in_lorus_z011

      AS2063 - hand setting

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      It shouldn't be attached    The pinions look independent of each other, not in alignment,  but the clip is bothering me or have you just placed that on the pivot end?

      What this extra disk next to the pinion? Thats not part of the assembly

      It looks like the canon pinion function is part of this great wheel. The pinion nearest the clip runs the minute wheel on the dual side. The pinion nearest the wheel is driven by a small wheel from under the setting lever cover plate that engages in hand setting position.    So when assembled the crown was driving the whole great train. Does this mean the pinions are too tight? Should I attempt to disassemble this great wheel and lubricants?

      New balance staff not riveting to balance

      By Endeavor · Posted

      Picking up this side-tracked post again as I just removed a balance staff of a 1920's Omega (35,5L-T1) I was impressed by the way @Delgetti had his setup when he had to change out a balance-staff (https://www.watchrepairtalk.com/topic/28854-new-balance-staff-not-riveting-to-balance/page/2/#comment-244054 Not only that, but also the idea of removing the seat first before punching the staff out from the seat-side, avoiding the whole discussion of the rivet yes/no enlarging the hole. I didn't have the fancy clamps & tools Delgetti has, so I used my screw-head polishing tool. Initially I used #1500 grit diamond paste on the steel wheel, which kinda worked, but very slow. I changed to #800 grit diamond paste, which worked better, but still slow. Then I glued #240 sanding paper to the steel disk; That worked and the disk was hand-driven. Once close to the balance wheel, I took the sanding paper off and continued with #800 diamond paste. One can only do this when the balance wheel sits true on the staff and has no "wobble". I went on grinding until I saw some diamond paste on the rim of the balance wheel. This was as far as I could grind and it seemed that there wasn't much left of the seat. Carefully, with my staking set, I knocked the staff from the seat-side out. Turns out that the thickness of the seat left, now a small ring, was only 0.1mm. The balance wheel hole is in perfect shape and no damage done to the wheel at all. Of course, if the wheel has a "wobble" or isn't seated true on the balance staff, you can't get as close and there will be more left of the seat. In my case, it worked perfect 🙂 I'm very happy how this method worked out ! 😊
