Benrus Citation

[SockMonkey72]

Hello first post here. Recently acquired a Benrus Citation with and ESA 9154. Tried to replace the battery, but its still not working. I am looking for some advice on how to repair this watch or send it to someone for repair? I have a spare movement and coil on the way. The only thing I know so far, is the movement has to come out of the front. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Neat looking electronic watch. I serviced the earlier ESA 9150 recently. It took some time, but was doable with the technical guide from ESA for the model. I have worked on many pocket watches, and now maybe 25 wrist-watches, so I do have some experience. There are some tricky moves (tension-springs under bridge) you've got to do on these watches, so one must be careful, precise, and have nice tools. I can't remember where that ESA 9150 manual is, but it's out there for free somewhere. Maybe the 9154 is a well?  They do need the occasional service, so providing it hasn't had a battery badly salt and mess things up, you've got a good shot at getting it running. Good luck.

In case you haven't found this, it might be of help to you. Cheers.

Checked this? https://blog.noq2.net/benrus-electronic-citation.html

Try contact paul on electric-watches.co.uk . He could help you with a service i think. 

The movement aren't supertricky to work on. But need to take care when put the spring in around the escape wheel and center wheel.

Finally running. Random screw was stuck near the balance. Now I need to disassemble and clean.
