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. 🙂

      Beat adjustment

      By transporter · Posted

      Has it got a beat adjustment on the platform or is it a fixed hairspring? in short what you are looking at to get it just about in beat is to get the roller jewel sitting dead centre between the banking pins. So remove the platform and take of the pallet fork and escape wheel to give you clear line of site, sit the platform with the balance in place and with it level look between the banking pins and see if the roller jewel is sitting between them, if it is nice and central its there or there abouts in beat, if its not the the position of the pinned end of the hairspring needs to be adjusted to move the roller jewel into the correct position, thats why I asked if it has an adjustment on the platform or not, if it has its an easier job.

      Help - London Elliott Mantle Clock Night Silence

      By MapleWood · Posted

      I've managed to adjust it. I'm going to try and explain it as well as I can with my limited horology knowledge but I hope it helps someone in the future. There is a cam to the right of the front plate as shown in the picture. As the clock ticks along, the pin indicated in the gear comes around and slots into one of the silencer cam gaps, turning the cam. The pin completes a full rotation in 2 hours. To adjust the cam to start at the right time set the clock to just before 7. I did 6:45. Then I turned the silencer cam anticlockwise, which spins freely, until it pushed the silencer lever up and was placed just before the drop. Just before the 7AM indicated in the picture. All I then had to do was progress the hands to 7-7:15which made the pin slot into the silencer cam gap and turn the cam so the lever comes down again, unsilencing the clock. That was it. If anyone comes across this issue again I'd be happy to assist. Thanks again to everyone that helped. Hey Transporter! Thanks a lot for the reply. That was a really good explanation and I'm sure it would have made my troubleshooting a lot less painful haha. I'm sure someone will find it useful in the future. Thank you again for taking the time to try and help me out with this.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Waggy · Posted

      Now I'm completely confused, it would appear that the epilame  is oleophobic  as @Marc states: This oleophobic  behavior can be seen as beading of the droplet (as above) which stops the oil spreading which is supported by what we observe on treated/untreated cap stones (for example), but as @VWatchie states this should make the drops more mobile, and not less mobile which is the opposite of what we want. In fact this beading and high mobility are desirable properties in things like smart phone covers, see below.  I am fairly sure that epilame doesn't make the droplets more mobile, so maybe its a strange coating with dual properties that are both oleophobic and cohesive/adhesive resulting in low mobility?? This may explain the high price??

      The description there is exactly how it's done, and it's very well written!

      What is the correct way to lubricate clock mainsprings?

      By HectorLooi · Posted

      Would it be correct to say that the stronger the mainspring, the thicker the oil should be? So for a fusee mainspring, should a thick grease be used?
