If it's the one that takes 2 batteries I think they are size 392

Ordered. Fingers crossed that it will work :) 

Maybe it should be ETA 942.711 as i didn't find anything on ESA ?

SR41 is a 392 battery as in picture, remember to put them in the correct way as in picture.

I just put esa 942 711 into google images to get picture.

 

The seller told me had tested the watch with some batteries. He said it didn't work.Can hope he did set them the wrong way. And when i put them in the right :) Let there be light. If not i have a NOS i can buy. 

Maybe i should take a look under the circuit tomorrow. Before i smack the batteries in.

:( didn't work? But watch watch nice. So i will try to find a new circuit for it. The lcd was working but lots of numbers was missing. Tried to clean the strips on the lcd screen but didn't help. Or a complete movement will be better?

Sorry to bring up an old thread. Did you end up getting it all sorted?

Great stuff. Iv'e got a Longines one that isn't working either. Thought it might of been an easy fix until I removed the black plastic cover and saw this...

Maybe you could try using conductive paint on that? Have you tried to clean it with isopropanol?

I have cleaned it up and Iv'e used conductive paint to to re do the corroded parts, with no luck :unsure: I hope its not the IC (Think that's what it's called) I will start a new thread about it.

      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.
