Default Watch battery



Does anyone have one of these watches? I got it with a collection of stuff I bought but there is no battery in it. Can someone tell me what battery this takes? I was @ the local dealer yesterday and they told me to take it to a jeweler. Just thought I'd check here so i dont have to pay jewelry store price for a battery if i can get one @ wallyworld. Thanks in advance.

I already did that. I even got out the magnifying glass and my daughters much younger eyes to look again but can't seen to find anything that looks like a battery number. Someone wrote + up in there so at least I have that goin for me!

Suggestion, take it to a jewelry shop you trust. They can tell what size battery it takes and replace it for you.

According to a Goggle search, for what it`s worth...

"This quartz movement Harley-Davidson pocket-watch takes a size SR626SW battery"

From the research I did , I get the same as above ...

Yours seems to be a Franklin mint pocket watch , this particular one needs a SR626SW

Not sure. Haven't gotten a battery yet. However, it is not leaving oil spots everywhere...

If you post a picture or mention the brand/model, someone might be able to pinpoint the battery type. If it’s a common brand, chances are you can grab a battery at Wallyworld for a fraction of the price. I had a similar situation with a random watch from a bulk auction, and it ended up needing a 377 battery, which I found at Walmart. If you’re into watches, you might get a kick out of checking out a Patek Philippe replica too. Those replicas are incredibly well done, especially if you’re just in it for the look without dropping a ton of cash.
