My wife owns 2 of the Ladies Pulsar Quartz,model V783-X003 watches and neither is working. Would someone know where I can 1) obtain manual? Digital is fine, and 2)anyone know what battery this model takes?

This model has a screw down watch back with notches.  I’d rather get the batteries first beforeopenimg the case back

It might be a good idea to open up the case back and have a look at the condition inside first. If the old battery has leaked until it's a mess inside, then you will have to make the difficult decision of whether it's worth repairing.

Good luck.

Hello HectorLooi,

Im glad you posted this recommendation, and I followed up by opening the case back on both watches.  The watch with  number 3D0440 had a Seiko battery in it and it was the SR621SW.  I opened the other watch which had case number 270330 and I was surprised that the battery installed was a Renata 377.  

So I ordered the Energizer 364/363 on Amazon and the package came about an hour and a half ago.  After eating supper I replaced both batteries and both watches are working again!  The diameter of the SR621SW, the Enegizer 364/363 and the Renata 377 are all the same, but the thicknesses vary.  The SR621SW and the Energizer 364/363 show thickness of 2.15 mm, but the Renata 377 2.6 mm.  I'm not sure if that varies but I'm glad to get a close replacement for the SR621SW that has the same thickness.

All three batteries spec sheets show 1.55 for Voltage.

I've now repaired a total of 7 watchs (all electronic) since joining Watch Repair talk.  Two may be beyond repair.  I took my Dad's WW2 Jaeger-LeCoultre E159 P478 Military Circa 1945 watch to an authorized seller and repair place near my house.  It's now in Switzerland being repaired.  It think that would have been "A Bridge Too Far" given my lack of knowledge, but these forums a great with helpful people. 

I have a third watch that's my wife's (a Seiko 1NO1-0CS0, case # 471682) to do and the battery will arrive Wednesday.

Thanks HectorLooi!

      Movement holder made with 3D printer

      By GuyMontag · Posted

      I missed this earlier. The dial isn't going into the holder, it should sit proud of it. This is what I am currently using which I print for each different movement.

      Setting lever spring

      I didn't think pulling to set position would work harden the spring, in that position it is stressed where the arm starts. By work hardening i meant rapid polishing at that point, a bit like polishing a pivot work hardens as it compresses the steel. I doubt polishing by hand would achieve much in that respect though. Its finished, arm polished up mostly at the join to the bridge's main body. I'm ok with it, the screw holes aren't great as i had to open them up by redrilling and positioning it was difficult, I'm not much use with a loupe, opening up with a file might be a better option for me or i could just use the correct drill size 😅. And the detent is way too deep, i had to guess that with the stem release out of position and sat on top, but i only took one measure and went for it, no slowly slowly catch your monkey 😅. First go I'm happy , well sort of, it works and thats a big thing for me, next one will have a bit more finesse.  Anyone thats interested, after filing, i used a 2000 grade home made diamond  micro file and then 20 micron film, the film is much better than wet and dry, more stable to use and doesn't shed cheap grade grit everywhere , then auto polish on a sponge pad.

      I'm assuming that every time you set the watch you are work hardening the detent spring, maximum hardening is  where it meets the plate due to maximum deflection.   That's why it snaps there.  The Young's modulus may be the same but after it's reached its maximum yeid strength it breaks.  My mechanic engineering is very rusty, correct me if I'm wrong.

      Ah ok yes that makes sense to polish it where the arm starts to form from the body of the bridge, i thought you meant the underneath of all the arm.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      this is something I've never quite understood about the some of the Swiss companies. In 1957 Omega was using 9010 for the keyless parts with epilam. there's been a slow migration towards using heavier lubrication's but still typically oils and epilam to keep them in place. When it seems like 9504 works so much better.
