Own a timebomb. I love Oakleys

[EEEthan]

I'm from Australia and I have a few questions about my Timebomb watch that I'd like to ask. I recently purchased one and asked the seller about the battery, but their response was quite vague, and I suspect they might not know much about it either.

At the moment, my Timebomb is running smoothly—the second hand moves once every second, which I assume means the battery is fully charged. However, the seller mentioned that they replaced it with a button cell battery, specifically the 317/SR516SW model. This struck me as odd. Has anyone here ever installed a button cell battery in a Timebomb watch?

I'm also curious whether the movement would function properly if I were to replace it with a Seiko 3023 5MZ rechargeable battery instead. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

I'm equally confused. The seller told me that the battery they replaced was a 317/SR516SW, but after checking, I found out that this is a non-rechargeable button cell battery. The seller also included the original SL920 battery they removed in the packaging. Unfortunately, I can't open the watch to verify the details, so I only have these pictures to go on.
The main question is whether the SR516SW battery can even be used in a Timebomb watch. It seems possible that the seller gave me incorrect information, and I'm really puzzled by this situation. Thanks so much for your reply!

Since there isn't one common Oakley Watch guide for Battery's let's start one here. I'll add them as they are added to this thread by others or as mine die. :) Thanks to @OakleyGuru379 and @Jorzaky for most of the detail: 12 Gauge-SR927SW/ 395 Blade 1 and 2: SR920SW/ 371 Bottle Cap-SR920SW/ 371...
