Seeking some help with a movement Please
I have this Echo Drive B714 movement in a diver that I put a new battery into it, but it just won't kick up. Is it worth sending it in or just replace it. I have had it for a while so wanted to use it. Tried a working watch battery in it and still nothing. I don't know about them so will need some advice for it. Everything is worth using but it wont go. Everything moves like the hands and all that, ...... " But won't fire up ". ( The seconds hand won't move at all.) Is it .... " SHOT " ? Aloha and thank you for any advice rendered. LongBike Attachments:

LongBike Did you put the proper rechargeable Lithium Ion battery in it? If not it may not work. |

This may be a real long shot here... But, um, you know the big orange second hand looking thing, isn't the second hand, right?
The second hand is in the tiny subdial at the bottom....

Aloha , OK my mistake there, meant to say the little guy. I did a new one, but none of them make a move at all. I did not want to move any of them. So I decided to seek better advice. Thank you for the response and if any more please advise. |

Now they are supposed to be precharged but you never know ow long they have been sitting. For starters, put the watch in a sunny window and let it get several hours of full sun. Then pull the crown out for 30 seconds(this is a reset) then push it back in. If this doesn't produce any movement, then the module likely needs a servicing or perhaps a repair. |

Aloha Sir, Thanks yes it has been in the window for about Three(3) days when sun is up but to no avail yet. Does it have to go to Citizens USA or is there some one on here that does them. Just to know what goes on with it. oh Three batteries , so maybe they are no good. But I tried one from a working watch just to see it wont do it also . Aloha Sir

Pass it by Spencer(Seikoholic). I don't know if he's able to help but may know who to send it to. |
