Thanks for the video. Very helpful. I have changed my battery today. That screw for the battery holder is a pain to get back in. I was afraid of loosing it. Also had trouble getting my screwdriver to grip the screw. All done now though and it cost me £9.95 for watch makers tolls and just £2.22 for a replacement battery. My local Timpsons wanted around £80 to replace the battery!!!!!!

[@SolimBD]

Good job, Thanks for comments

[@WilliamBILLON]

Thanks for showing how it’s done. Do you have a part number or dimensions for the caseback gasket ?I would like to replace it when I do it on my CAZ1014.

[@SolimBD]

I don't know the specific number of the gasket, Thanks for comments

[@WilliamBILLON]

Thanks for your reply anyway

What battery goes in the non chrono WAZ1010 model?

[@SolimBD]

Renata 371 or 373 Either of these two is used, but if desired, either of the two can be used

[@paulgoddard-jm3md]

You can clip the battery holder up without unscrewing if very careful and flip out the battery that way I've done mine it's fiddly but if your not worried about the watch being resealed it will save you a fortune. The battery size on this watch is a 395 for info.

[@5YC0511]

How can you unclip battery holder without unscrewing it ? Screw so small!!

[@paulgoddard-jm3md]

It can be done just get a small screwdriver and lift it enough to let the battery come out

[@drewb7264]

So if I was changing the battery and dropped the micro screw for the hold down where do I find a replacement? I'm having a hard time trying to source the screw. Any help would be much appreciated! Please help so I can put it back together

[@SolimBD]

try to another screw

[@nicolasbp6222]

Any idea how to get that screw holding the battery ?

Search nearly watch repair shop

This is the way I do it is this as I know just how fiddley that screw is and it is magnetic which someone thought would help, IMO it doesn't. After removing the old battery. 1. Put the clip in and stick it down with clear Sellotape; it will hold it flat. 2. Use tweezers or needle to punch a hole through the tape to line the holes up, press the tape down again. 3. Get a toothpick or something similar and cut it flush, stick a bit of blue tac to the end of the flush end and using your tweezers stick the screw to the blue tac. It will hold it. 4. Put the screw into the hole and turn it till it catches the threads. Gentle peel off the Sellotape be mindful that it will catch the sealing ring. 5. When the tape is removed from under the screw tighten it.

[@geronimo825]

Does anyone know which ronda movement this is please?

[@SolimBD]

Ronda 5040.D

[@geronimo825]

@@SolimBDI thought it was. I need one with a black date wheel with white numbers but the ones I’ve seen are the opposite 🤷‍♂️

[@subscribed193]

Does the seal need to be replaced with battery?

[@SolimBD]

If needed,

[@jackkellerman310]

The screw that holds the battery in place is so small, when tweezers accidentally catapult it in a random direction (which will happen numerous times), you will not be able to find it. It’s nearly microscopic. Literally. This is a job for a professional watch shop and nobody else.

[@sammylk]

Nah, just make sure you do over a watch repair pad.

[@laszlosandor2133]

what kind of movement is this

[@SolimBD]

Ronda 5040.D

[@laszlosandor2133]

@@SolimBD thanks for your response and the video helped me to solve a excellent replica puzzle.. same movement..propably from alibaba...but screws were missing. and the retainer palstic ring its way to different.other than that is super hard to say if its fake or not

[@РамильСадеков-ц7м]

Здравствуйте подскажите пожалуйста оригинальный ли в этих часах механизм или это копия?

[@SolimBD]

It’s a original, Thanks for comments

[@skischooldave99]

Hi guys. As hinted above by others, the battery hold down sent the battery screw across the room. We never found it. :-(. Anyone have the specs or part number ? I had some small Metric screws but none even fit through battery hold down. Thanks

[@MiltonJinner]

Thank you.

[@SolimBD]

You're welcome!
