Citizen 8110a chronograph lubrication


Recommended Posts

I can't for the life of me find servicing documentation or guides for this movement anywhere. Going with pure intuition I'm afraid is inadequate either as all the chronograph parts are completely obscured and I can't observe their operation. I know how everything goes back together but trying to figure out how all the parts interact while in operation aches my brain. The thing is couple orders magnitude more intricate and complex than a 7750. Can anyone help me out with all the lubrication points particularly with the chronograph parts and the clutches? Thanks a bunch.

Some links to manuals which will have lubrication instructions, and video which is split in many parts shows where to oil but in a different language, you should peruse them.

Personally I very rarely look at lubrication charts or even movement drawings. Lubrication is a personal preference item. I use mainly the moebius HP series of oils with 9010 for the cap jewels. I have had no issues using his method.

I appreciate the resources saswatch88 but I wonder if anyone else has anymore. I have seen these before and would like to know if there's anything more thorough. clockboy I have used pure intuition with many movements. It's easy when you can see how everything works or simple enough to mentally visualize. But with mechanisms such as in the case a chronograph featuring column wheel, vertical clutch, AND flyback complication it is really difficult to figure out how it all works and intuit where to apply the lubrication, especially when almost all the relevant parts are completely obscured and make observing their operation impossible.

This document does give some more info on the function of some of the parts if you haven't seen it

Did you spot that the pink document on this page has generic citizen chronograph oiling instructions near the end?

If you search eBay for Citizen 8110 pdf, then you can buy a pdf of the servicing instructions... in French.

I agree with clock boy, just oil the chronograph exactly how you would oil any other chronograph. The videos i sent should show the functions as he is re-assembling the movement.

    • Never and others. Yes like you I do spend a fair amount of time reading the contents of this forum. I find it better that any other. clear, lucid, no Prima Donas, and most of all an easy access without adverts. All thanks to Mark. God bless you mate. You give so much to many of us. What if? No Mark? Hypothetically. A forum. I did run a forum for a few years. Really enjoyed it, but became so engrossed that it did affect my health. I gave to to others to run. Not been back. It was very successful and rivalled a number of large paying sites. No adverts, no others but me. I did ask and listen to members comments and it worked well.    Costs Having a domain name, £10 annually.  Register the site with a forum company, free. Build the site using the forum company guide lines, free. It looked and ran almost the same a Mark's. All the same facilities. The cost was only £5 per month, but counted visits (views). If I recall, it was that price for 5,000 views. Each extra 5,000 views increased the price by £2 per month. Success was my own personal undoing. From £5 per month initially, it rose to £60 a month and looked like increasing. This was 10 years ago. I could not afford that, and asked it anyone would like to take over and someone did. I would assume that this is the price that Mark is funding for us all. His return is our continued comments on the internet about his course, and the fact that many of the big names on YouTube mention him as their Tutor. Those of us who have done, and are still using, his course, benefit. In comparison to other courses, I can't believe how cheap it is, and the value is exceptional. It is the structure that gives the value. Long may Mark reign. Ross  
    • Get someone local to tig it ,very easy fix and should only take a few minutes so probably wouldn’t cost much ,or failing that get it very clean and silver solder it. Dell
    • Hi, The winding pin is not split, well that's how it was when I obtained the watch. The movement is front-loaded and here's a picture of where the case screws are fitted. The face picture is before I dismantled it.
    • I dont think mine is. Its an idea to have them all in one place if possible, then a quick screenshot will have them saved. Unless anyone has any other ideas of how to reconnect 
    • My email address is in my profile, feel free all to drop me a quick hello.
