ASMR Restoration of a broken japanese diving watch - Citizen Promaster automatic NY0040

This time I´m restoring a Citizen Promaster automatic.
It´s a japanese diving watch, waterproof up to 200 metres and powered by the citizen 8203A caliber.
The watch is in a bad condition: The stainless-steel-case is damaged, the glass is not original, glass and bezel are scratched and the movement is not running. As I try to wind-up the movement it winds-down immediately. Seems like an issue on the escapement-wheel.
A tooth and the pivot of the escapement-wheel is broken, i need to replace it. As well as the glass, the glass-gasket, the click-spring, the movement spacer and the bezel. After everything is cleaned, sanded and polished I can restore the brushed surface of the case and re-assemble the movement with some fresh oil. After that, this watch is in an awesome beat (+4 seconds per day) again.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

And I’m not really even Asperger’s, but sufficiently so to have personally adjusted my same Citizen to run at 0.4 seconds slow - in 24hrs - for the past six years! So hacking ain’t a problem; I just bring it to a stop once a month to set accurately 🤪🇬🇧 PS: that’s four times more accurate than a Rolex Submariner, and even more so for the Omega Seamaster!

I admit to had suffer a little bit at the beginning, thinking that mine could have the same faith. I simply love this watch! if anyone's wondering, the model is NY0040, and it actually exists in many varieties, as for example the NY0085. Definitely a good purchase if you ask me. Sturdy, cheap and well-performing movement fir its price.. An alternative in the past was the old Seiko SKX013 and the SKX007, but since they stopped the production the price doubled making it less appealing. PS Interesting fact about the watch used in the video: it was actually given to the navy soldiers in Italy years ago, without the name "Citizen" but "Marina Militare" written in its place and no red painting on the dial, only white.

@alessioseminara3254 2 жыл бұрын

Navy soldiers? No they were way way more than that, they were the FIRST navy frog-men, Italian navy create this group back in 1920 to sunk the British royal navy with a a group of immense brave soldier like Teseo Tesei and others who perform legendary war actions destroying many warships without even let the enemy understand where the attack came from with never seen amphibious skills in a war. And today after they helped usa to build their navy seals and trained many sas squad and many others special op group from all nations knocking at their door, they are still the best with 1/100 of the money and equipment that their similar colleagues in usa or gb are granted. Their name is Comsubin, GOI Incursori della Marina militare Italiana:"E fluctibus irruit in hostem".

That's an outstanding and a real fine partisanship, Red Dead. I've the same NY0400 in gold where the gold has worn out to a stainless steel brass patina esp on the bezel. I asked Citizen in my country to service but they said they couldn't because the parts were not available (about 5 years ago). Hopefully, with the resurgence of interest in this watch through the FUGU, the parts will be available again. Its inspired me that I can get my watch internally restored, glass and O-ring changed, and the bezel insert (if available) changed. And yet possibly still retain the worn patina in the original bezel. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. Keep up the amazing work!

@theemersonexperience7282 3 жыл бұрын

I understand. I got an NY0086, which is only sold in the European market a couple months ago, and broke the stem and the crown. I was not able to find the signed crown anywhere in the US. I sent it to the Citizen Authorized watch maker in Texas, and he was able to find NOS gold plated crown and stripped it for me. I presume I would need to send the watch back to a European dealer to get the OEM signed crown. I don't think you can get those FUGU parts here in the US, either. Maybe if you have the connections in Asia. Anyway, superlative video. I wonder if it would be more cost effective to replace the entire movement - they are only $50US?

I have no clue what algorithm brought me here but damn am I glad it did!! I find no greater satisfaction that tearing apart something broken and repairing it! Your precision and craftsmanship show throughout the entire video! Extremely entertaining, I just had to subscribe!
