Well I dunno, you gotta love repeat business, was doing my returns yesterday and one of my customers asked me to take a look at their late fathers retirement present. 
basically it works fine apart from the broken tab for the battery.  The customers husband has had a go at soldering the other tab and this one which has snapped again.
I’ve  has a quick look on line and not found too much, well nothing on this movement. 
anyone have anything that can shed some light on this before I get stuck in with the fibre pens and soldering iron!!!

Hi Judging by the state of the terminals I would be inclined to remove the movement and have a look at removing the old connections back to the movement and remaking new ones, by the look of the rivits they will cut out ok and be replaced with small screws. would look better than a solder job.

Well today I affixed the battery tabs to the circuit board. I used screws as solder alone just wasn’t man enough for the job. 
I’ll post a picture tomorrow but when I put in a AA battery it ran fine but the positive end of the battery got pretty hot after about 10 seconds of running. 
My thoughts are that the screws may be touching the back of the dial which is metal, I’ll file theM down some more and put some insulation tape over them to see if this helps. 
Still not identified the movement yet though. 06869336-A6CA-4655-8F96-56606C8005C5.thumb.jpeg.9391ec31995c7ef4808e4738217d1a3a.jpeg

      1972 Bulova President "E" Sea King 11ACACB movement

      Unfortunately I'm not that lucky. I started on the train side and after I noticed the binding I pulled everything out except the driving wheel to rule everything else out. It still binds. I'm going to double check that the pinion is fully seated on the staff first, then if no joy I'll push the bridge jewel up a fraction of a mm. Fingers crossed!

      Thank you for the advise!! It worked. The setting screw was a lock/unlock to remove the rotor.

      I have that French tech sheet too, it is a little different than the English one (eg, it doesn't have the auto works diagram). BTW, it looks like you are looking up the case number in the 1979 ABC supplement. The 1974 ABC catalog does have the 3093 case. As you determined it takes the 1222-5 crystal.  When I serviced my President 'A' (which also takes that crystal), I was able to fit a 29.8 crystal from my DPA crystal assortment. Those are, in my opinion, a great deal. The assortment comes with 10 sizes each from 27.8mm to 32.4mm in 0.2 increments. I pretty much use them for any non-armored crystal that takes a high dome crystal. I think they no longer make them but Cousins has still has some in stock but when I bought them they were around $40 for the set and now they are around $100. Still, at 40 cents a crystal it's still a good deal. For the large driving wheel, I remember I once assembled the keyless/motion works first and when I placed the large driving wheel it was interfering with the setting wheel on the dial side as the teeth were not fully meshing and it wouldn't fully seat. If that isn't the issue I got nothing and am looking forward to see how you solve it 🙂

      Not sure, but just looking at it, it seems like the screw on the right may be a fake? The one on the left may not be a screw in the regular sense at all, rather a 2 position device, I think you need to point the slot towards either of the 2 dots and one will secure and one will open. Like I said this is just my best guess looking at the pictures.
