New quartz movement issues

Hi Guys I have replaced a Ronda 715 quartz movement for a Burberry watch. The new movement came with a battery and I noticed this little contact bridge? Where does it go to get it going? Can't see it on the old movement either. Seller mentions battery is for bench testing only. 054edeff97217c8c31d507fc9a59ae70.jpg

That extra parts sits on the cannon pinion or minute wheel . To hold the hour wheel in place.  But as @jdm says the screw next to the battery is missing. And there are a lots of fngerprint on the movement. Strange if a NOS movement would come with a battery for testing. But if the movement is okay. take the screw from the old movement.

The extra parts is just for the box and is removed before assembling .

    • Hmmm you know when i said some damp might have caused the bubble originally hmmm 🤨
    • Are you all jerking my chain, I'm a yorkshireman £4.04 is too much 😆
    • [Myota2034] Custom simple quartz watch — PricewaterhouseCoopers On a very very different note, here is a watch from approximately 2000 when I was a Partner with PwC, Management Consulting. It was a simple “marketing watch” with a clever “vase of knowledge” that is subtly revealed on the dial as the second hand progresses. Clever for a simple watch!⌚️
    • I think someone else has though. Some where here using a modified perspex sheet. I may be wrong i may be right , i think it involved fitting the arbor to a pin vice. I dont have experience of the bergeon winders, are the handles not interchangeable ?
    • Never tried dial dots, i always considered them as a bit of a bodge.  You are adding something that was never intended to be there. I wonder how the adhesive reacts to any part of the movement, hot summer heat and i think things might turn sticky. Most adhesive backed stuff has a tendency to soften and slide around so it may spread, i have used a lot of so called sticks all adhesives in my industry that are just not up to the job. I suppose they get you out of a problem quickly, but how permanently might that be ? I would just explain to the owner that it may or may not work. WWs other ideas are a much more permanent solution but both have their risks . I've tried milling and dial feet replacements, hmm it was ok, ive heard of folk dimpling the face , so that needs care . And i have soldered a few times , all with good results but i am very careful and I practiced it a lot.
