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 .

    • As Richard said, this is a really old school trick for joinery.  Cut i strip of paper, might need to be watch paper  around 1 " x 1/2" lay it over a staking block then press the stud screw into and through the edge of the paper upto the head of the screw. You probably wont even need to pull the paper away the head will pull itself through.
    • Thanks Jon, my mum is getting there day by day, so strong and determined, they dont make em like this anymore 🙂 Old folk are so amazing,  my mum used to love her golf, she didn't stop playing until she was 70 . Enjoy your trip and your golf.
    • Hello,  i am looking to source a winding stem (winding arbor) for a waltham 6/0 d movement. I have found some that claim to fit 6/0, 6/0s, 6/0b etc and somealso claim they will also fit the d as well. The d does have hacking which is driven by the stem seating completely. Given some of the costs of these, i was hoping someone would know of any interchangeability with a source, or know a source where a confirmed 6/0 d stem can be had. I am in the US so a US dealer is best.    thanks in advance. 
    • So great to see and hear- your mum looks great! …my mil had a stroke last summer in the golf course parking lot. I’m flying out tomorrow to visit and play golf. she’s ornery because she can’t get off the tee but I hear she makes up for it on the greens since she’s been putting since a week after her stroke 🧐…
    • Very best wishes to you and your family, as a carer myself I know how difficult things can be.
