Seiko 7546 quartz - what lubricants do I use?

I came  to the conclusion that the problem was the battery because the watch runs perfectly as long as its left on the bench. If worn or moved it stops after awhile.  Press the battery back into place and it starts up again. With the case back fully screwed down the problem persists

I have seen other photos of this movement and there appear to be some with a battery strap. Mine seems to be missing and it's leading to a lose of contact. Is it possible  to source an after market fitting?

the problem with your conclusion is that may be your watch doesn't like to run when it's moving around. If you look in the service guide do your contacts look like they're appropriate in other words there probably making contact with the battery. It does appear that you have the right battery.

then it's your watch in your repairing it if you've come to the conclusion that this is the problem than fix the problem. You could either make something out of a thin piece of brass for instance or you should be sell strap assortments out there somewhere for all the people that lose their straps with the changing the batteries. Otherwise you'll just have to adapt something because I don't see anything in the parts list indicating that there was a sell strap of any kind other than the contacts that are already there.

I've never seen a 7546 with a battery strap, only the 7548. 

Perhaps the case back gasket is too thick and letting the battery rise up? Almost all the 7546 watches list a flat gasket for the case back.  FH2980B01 .  If an o-ring gasket  or too thick of a flat gasket is in there, it may be holding the case back up too high and letting the battery come away from the contact.

A special lubricant is recommended for the Seiko 7546 quartz movement to ensure optimum performance. The main lubricants required for this movement are Mobius 9010 for the barrel and gear train, Mobius 9415 for the escape wheel and escapement fork and Mobius 9501 for the keyless movement. These lubricants provide the necessary protection and minimize friction to keep movements running smoothly and precisely. To ensure the longevity and reliability of your Seiko 7546 quartz watch, it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and guidelines when applying these lubricants.

Don't you think 9010 is a little light for The barrel? Then I'm not sure where you find the barrel in this watch?

Then it's fine for the escape wheel such as in a watch like this. But I don't know where you'd find it in the watch in this particular discussion.

I think Dadistic had Karon worked out a few days ago, first name Karon second name Bot. 🙂

    • Yea a have given it a full service this movement is chinese 2813 whats the left angle for this movement does anyone knows  and how to do a remove the default 52 degrees on my timegrapher?
    • Sure! Some very accomplished repairers never use epilame! I have often wondered if it is worth the trouble. Not using epilame will shorten the service intervals though, but that could be better perhaps both for the owner and the repairer!? Speaking of oiling, I just read this: After WWII in the 1950s the first Synthetic Oils came on the market. Most watchmakers did not rush to use these oils since they were bad for business now that the watch serviced with Synthetic oil would not come back to him for service for another 5-7 years he would lose a lot of income. ~Ofrei.com   Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if it would be more correct to think of epilame as a binder rather than a repellant. Until convinced otherwise that's how I will think of epilame.
    • I read that same article last night  H.  I think epilame is too much headache for me, sources aren't always accurate, some conflicting. Such is the GRAVITY of this situation, Is it ok if i just STICK  to a thixotropic oil 🤣
    • Not sure I follow along. As I stated in one of my previous posts, the epilame will remain intact between rubbing parts as long as the surface is lubricated by oil or grease. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but note how the epilame-treated surface is illustrated in @Waggy's post. It looks like the oil is exposed to a binder (epilame!) so that it can't move sideways.
    • The epilame under the oil will also be removed  Unless the oil makes a barrier between the epilame and the escape teeth 😅 I think i need two strong coffees now 🤣
