Service Manuals (Seeking Citizen Leopard manuals)

Dear All,

I have purchased an old Citizen Leopard from Yahoo Auctions for a reasonable price. Of course you get what you pay for and it is a non-working watch. From the case to dial everything looks clean yet it is begging for a deep cleaning as I understand. Currently living in Japan and even a simple battery replacement is quite expensive, between ¥1000-¥1500 (roughly $10-15). Until now all the shops I consulted asked me at least ¥20.000 ($200) for servicing and not guaranteed, and even though they may fail, it will still cost me ¥3000-¥5000.

Long story short, it is really expensive to have your watched serviced here and takes a lot of time (fastest shop was1.5 months). So I decided to disassemble it by myself but cannot find any information about the movement. No service manuals. Also I searched the forum and couldn't find one either. Can someone kindly guide me to find one? I know Leopard series based on caliber 7230 but that's all I got. My watch has caliber 7203 (according to back cover). I don't have all the necessary tools but I count on my ignorance :). 

Closest thing to a guide I found is the attached file (source: https://vintagecitizenwatches.com/2015/01/17/citizen-leopard-28800-4-720032ta/ ).

Thank you all in advance.

it's amazing what you can find online if you just do a search. It also helps seven clue of what you're looking for. At the link below is a service guide for Citizen watches I would suggest downloading the entire thing. As far as an individual tech sheet for every single watch in existence they just do not exist for the most part.

Dear John, thank you so much for the link and help. You definitely are correct it is possible to find amazing stuff online though as a complete beginner like myself and lacking the keywords to search makes it quite difficult :). Once again, thank you so much for your time to help, sincerely appreciated.

 

I have listened to your precious advice and downloaded all the files on that page. Many thanks :bow:.
