I really love the look of the Brestoise but $500 for an 8 series movement is a tough sell. I guess I’ll keep looking for a used one.

Before watching your video, I wouldn’t of attempted to even try and install a new capacitor, I thought it was beyond me your video gave me confidence to have a go. Those screws are the size of pin heads. The first try putting the screws back was a nightmare I gave up after trying for hours, the next morning I finally got them in. the watch is working again. Top man yourself.

Me do any fighter pilots actually wear this watch on their jets the reason I ask is because is it just commemorative or actually the real deal Holyfield
@americanlegendswatches8 күн бұрын
My understanding is that Citizen supplies these watches to the Blue Angels pilots. They're probably not required to actually wear them. But keep in mind that the Blue Angels are an acrobatic demonstration team that show up at air shows and are more of a recruiting tool than anything. What they do is amazing, but they don't actually go out on missions for the military.

It sounds like either a) the capacitor is defective or got shorted out, or b) it's not making contact because it's not seated properly. I would try dissassembly and reassembling to make sure all the parts are where they should be. If that doesn't work, then try a new capacitor. Good luck! I hope it works out for you!

Really appreciated your detailed and most helpful video. Thanks so much! Since I hadn't been able to get my old Seiko Kinetic to run for some time, I was ready to toss it until I watched this. Afterward, I figured I had nothing to lose but the cost of the kit (about $20 on Amazon) by trying a a capacitor replacement, because I already had all the necessary tools. My Kinetic is a different model from yours. It's a Prospex 5M85, but it takes the same capacitor kit (#30235MY). When the kit arrived, I was a little disappointed to see that the insulator wa curled up like a potato chip. Fortunately, the old insulator was still fine, so I reused that one. Speaking of that insulator, I found it impossible to properly position the insulator and the metal retainer bracket and get them both properly oriented while they were two separate pieces. My solution was to use a tiny bit of contact cement on the surfaces where they mated with each other and allow them to bond together into a single assembly prior to installing them. That was far less aggravating. Surprisingly, after my Kinetic was buttoned up again, it took only a couple dozen swirls before the second hand was dutifully marching around the dial again. Big win! We won't talk about the 3-hour Easter egg hunt for one of those miniscule bracket screws that had popped off the watch and and landed somewhere on the floor. One unexpected result from installing this kit in my watch is the movement's weird response to having its Power Reserve button pressed. Based on your video, I was expecting inaccurate readings on the low side, but that's not what I've been seeing. My second hand will quickly sweep around to Max Charge, maybe even a little more. But then it completely freezes for several seconds, and I'll have to give it several shakes to get it going again. I imagine this has something to do with how my watch's movement reacts to the different capacitor chemistry. Just thought you should know. Anyway, my Kinetic has been running great for nearly a day now, and I expect it will continue to do so. Thanks again for the most excellent video.

Just picked this up for 150 with free shipping............my only criticism is with the clasp, razer sharp corners on that clasp...... I actually scratched my self pretty bad with one of those sharp corners im even considering taking a file to it to dull those those sharp corners......it appears they did fix that issue with the clasp sticking as you try to remove it...... maybe they saw this video lol,......overall its an ok watch definitely not worth 300 when you have companies Like aragon offering A 40mm dive watch With saphire glass and ceramic bezels and nh35 movement for under 200....... oh and that on the fly quick adjust is very wobbly and rattley........ nowhere near that refinement on that real deal rolex clasp....... its a functional decent replica. Again its A good watch overall, not worth 300 but 150 with free shipping its worth it

Agree that it would be better without the date, if it could shave off 1mm. But at 14.5mm, it's not a train wreck for thickness, like some of the other Sinn chronographs that are 17mm tall. In any event, the date would not stop me from buying it, especially the dark blue version, which is stunning. And that 200m water resistance is a huge bonus. Frankly, why anyone would buy a Breitling Navitimer at twice the cost of this Sinn is beyond me.
