My wife owns 2 of the Ladies Pulsar Quartz,model V783-X003 watches and neither is working. Would someone know where I can 1) obtain manual? Digital is fine, and 2)anyone know what battery this model takes?

This model has a screw down watch back with notches.  I’d rather get the batteries first beforeopenimg the case back

It might be a good idea to open up the case back and have a look at the condition inside first. If the old battery has leaked until it's a mess inside, then you will have to make the difficult decision of whether it's worth repairing.

Good luck.

Hello HectorLooi,

Im glad you posted this recommendation, and I followed up by opening the case back on both watches.  The watch with  number 3D0440 had a Seiko battery in it and it was the SR621SW.  I opened the other watch which had case number 270330 and I was surprised that the battery installed was a Renata 377.  

So I ordered the Energizer 364/363 on Amazon and the package came about an hour and a half ago.  After eating supper I replaced both batteries and both watches are working again!  The diameter of the SR621SW, the Enegizer 364/363 and the Renata 377 are all the same, but the thicknesses vary.  The SR621SW and the Energizer 364/363 show thickness of 2.15 mm, but the Renata 377 2.6 mm.  I'm not sure if that varies but I'm glad to get a close replacement for the SR621SW that has the same thickness.

All three batteries spec sheets show 1.55 for Voltage.

I've now repaired a total of 7 watchs (all electronic) since joining Watch Repair talk.  Two may be beyond repair.  I took my Dad's WW2 Jaeger-LeCoultre E159 P478 Military Circa 1945 watch to an authorized seller and repair place near my house.  It's now in Switzerland being repaired.  It think that would have been "A Bridge Too Far" given my lack of knowledge, but these forums a great with helpful people. 

I have a third watch that's my wife's (a Seiko 1NO1-0CS0, case # 471682) to do and the battery will arrive Wednesday.

Thanks HectorLooi!

      Gift ideas for someone that likes watches

      Books, or some sort of voucher to a material house if they do them. You can never read and learn enough and if you find a material house that could do a gift card then the person could pick things they really need.   Tom

      I don’t know what a pivot locating tool is? I am not a clock guy though but everything else you mentioned cousinsuk should be able to supply without issue. you might get more results if posting in the clock section of the forum.   Tom

      I came up with a topic that might be helpful for partners, friends, or family members of watch enthusiasts: gift ideas for people who are passionate about watches. Of course, more watches are always appreciated, but what are some other gift options related to this hobby or collection? What related gifts would you love to receive?

      Thanks to everyone for the welcome.  Can I ask for some advice?  I have a French Drum clock which I am hoping to dismantle, clean and mend a bit for a friend (it is a long time since I did this, but I would like to restart). I used to go to M & P for supplies but it seems they are out of action at the moment.  Is Cousins a good place for supplies?  I think I will need: 1. Some small watchmaker type screwdrivers 2. Cleaning fluid to put in a bath and agitate the parts in (I don't have an ultrasonic bath and was not proposing to get one) 3. Clock oil 4. Some thin nosed pliers for removing pins 5. A basic magnifying eyeglass 6. A pivot locating tool 7. An assembly support for the movement 8. Some assorted pins .. but probably nothing more than that for the moment.  I don't think I will need to rebush any holes although I do have the tools for this.  The hour wheel is broken but I hope I have sourced a replacement. Final queries:  a. the wooden case has split a bit.  To glue it together, would standard strong PVA glue e.g. Evostik interior wood glue be OK?  b. to polish the exterior brasswork of the face and rear, is Duraglit OK, and should they be lacquered after polishing?  I am not proposing to polish and lacquer the movement itself, unless that is vital, but only to clean it in the cleaning fluid. Thanks in advance and I hope this is clear.

      Thanks Mark. I think I’ll leave the beat error for now - it’s a fixed stud so I’d have to adjust the collet position.    The watch has bigger problems. On reassembly I’ve found that the hour counter reset hammer is broken - I didn’t do it, the main hammer part was just not there. Can’t easily identify a replacement part. And the subdial hands. The running seconds hand needs an extended pivot tube as the pivot is below dial level. Can’t find one of them either. I’ve found a central seconds hand that might fit it - going to have a go at cutting, filing and polishing it to make it work.
