Welcome to FixYa!
You actually do not need to do that. Your watch should be up and running after you change the battery. Short-circuiting the watch is for restoring it to factory settings and it should be done by a watch professional. Doing a wrong short circuit will can damage your watch permanently.
Thank you for using FixYa. Have a great day.

mcdevito75 here, A quartz mechanism can go bad just like a light bulb, depending on the watches age, wear etc. If your watch was stored for a period of time with a dead battery in it, that dead battery could hve leaked, ruining the mechanism. If your watch worked fine and the battery just went dead, make sure the battery contacts inside the watch are clean, use a Q-tip dipped in Alcohol and gently clean the battery contacts, press the button for the music part of your Lorus and make sure those contacts are clean and are meeting once the button is pressed, this you can see with the back cover off the watch. Makes sure the battery is installed correctly, and that the new battery number is the same as the old battery number. 364 and 371 are popular batteries for Lorus musical watches, even though your new battery is new, it can still be dead, who knows how long it was on the store shelf?? also, double check as some Lorus Musical watches have 2 batteries, 1 battery would be rather large ans sitting just under it"s hold down bracket see, as soon as you remove the back cover, if so, that battery must also be replaced. I have an old Mickey Lorus musical useing a 397 battery just 1 but my Lorus is burnt out. If all this fails, I would look for a small watch repair shop in your area and have them look at the watch for you.

Try to find a watch repair shop (sometimes called clock & watch shops). Also, many jewelers replace batteries and do watch repair.

There is no CR920 3 volt battery and especially will not work for any Lorus watch. There is the SR920SW and SR920W series 1.55 volt silver alkaline cell.. 9 mm diameter x 2.0 mm height is an impossible size for this old Lorus watch.

You are probably going to have to look for an identical watch for parts.You might try this site:
http://www.esslinger.com/watchparts.aspx?gclid=COCr3t2F9KUCFcIKKgodgiARnA which is parts for watches. I'd have a look on ebay as well for a watch that is not working. Of course it does depend on the part you are looking for. I am also wondering if the inner parts for another Lorus mickey moue watch might fit, but maybe you don;t wish to change it out from the original.

They give a generic how to use the watch inside the back face plate, sorry That's all I got.

mcdevito75 here, I would imagine this is a Mickey Mouse Lorus watch by the picture supplied. If it Has DAY / DATE function, here"s what to do, --- To set the DAY, pull the stem out to set, keep turning the hads till you rech the day, then push in the stem. To Change the DATE 9 number) slip your fingernail just under the stem and lift it to it"s first position (notch) this should allow you to change the DATE (number) without haveing to turn the hands so many times.
