Hello everyone, I got a beautiful condition benrus citation with a esa movement in a watch lot. It has the nice silver and blue face with the lightning bolt second hand. I put a bettery in and the balance moved some then stopped, then moved some more. Seems to stay running longer in certain positions. Everything looks good inside. Anyone have any experience with these. I never worked on a electronic watch before. Thank you all

What is the movement in the Benrus? tt should be an ESA 9154 (13 jewels) like this...DSCN4168.JPGit is a straightforward overhaul with a few minor diffrences because of the electronics and also the keyless works. You said you've never worked on an electronic watch, but if you've done a mechanical movement its similar and not that hard. Check out the other ESA posts by using the search bar. I can give you some input because I've done a few.

      @HectorLooimakes an excellent point, the degree should be brilliant and more than useful but if it's not recognised, then the job options are limited.  You need to find out how many companies are willing to accept Mechrotronics.

      ETA 9362 check electronic module

      Hi other than testing the coil without the proper tools it will be difficult.  If you +an rig up an external supply and attach it to the cut block you may be able to pick up the pulses on the chip if not on the coil. i have attached the parts sheet for the watch 9362 which gives you the part number of the cut board assembly, whether this part is still available or not , who knows.

      Hi and welcome. First of all, check the power reserve. If the watch is runing, this means the spring is attached to the barrel arbor. If there is no end of winding, this probably means that the spring is not attached to the barreland it's outer end is slipping. In such case, the watch will run, but the power reserve will be small - about several hours

      Hi welcome to the forum. One can only reiterate the diagnosis already made by clockboy mainspring problem. But before tearing it to pieces take a little time to read the attached file to acquaint yourself with all the various parts. TZIllustratedGlossary.pdf

      B-Dip residue?

      By Geotex · Posted

      We think about these preps as "one-dips" partly because they are terrific solvents but also because the parts they are used on are often cleaner in general than many other parts. But old oils petrify, and even something like B-Dip can't clean up over-soiled parts without some extra effort, as mentioned above. There is an intermediate step during cleaning where the solvent can partially dissolve tarry residues so they have a more liquid varnish-like consistency, and that could well be what you are seeing on the coils after two washes. I wouldn't worry that your B-Dip was contaminated before you used it on this hairspring, but it I wouldn't re-use that aliquot AFTER this cleaning!
