Hello, My name is Ferdie. I am living in Southern Alberta, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. I have been interested in repairing and restoring quartz watches for some time now. My current projects are a two Citizen Wingman C080 088506 vintage watches.  I have managed to secure some NOS parts, however I am looking for others. One of the watches is working well, but is in need of a lot of cosmetic improvements.   Another of my interests is making working watches out of parts, seeing what will fit with what. Very interesting, Indeed. My goal here is to gain some knowledge from you folks, and perhaps offer some of my knowledge as well. I am looking forward to the journey.

Hi Ferdie, welcome to the group! I haven't played with anything quartz yet, probably just as well (my track record with mechanicals so far hasn't been great) but I am learning and there isn't a better group than these guys.

Thanks for the fine welcome. 

Would anyone of you good folks have any technical documents, specifically related to Citizen C 080 parts list? Thanks.

 

Hi Goldy, first off welcome to the forum. The parts and the Citizen designation for them is all in the pdf that watch weasel attached earlier in the thread.

      Mechatronics Engineering v Mechanical Engineering

      By RichardHarris123 · Posted

      @HectorLooimakes an excellent point, the degree should be brilliant and more than useful but if it's not recognised, then the job options are limited.  You need to find out how many companies are willing to accept Mechrotronics.

      ETA 9362 check electronic module

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi other than testing the coil without the proper tools it will be difficult.  If you +an rig up an external supply and attach it to the cut block you may be able to pick up the pulses on the chip if not on the coil. i have attached the parts sheet for the watch 9362 which gives you the part number of the cut board assembly, whether this part is still available or not , who knows.

      Hamilton Khaki Mechanical / H-50 winding issues

      Hi and welcome. First of all, check the power reserve. If the watch is runing, this means the spring is attached to the barrel arbor. If there is no end of winding, this probably means that the spring is not attached to the barreland it's outer end is slipping. In such case, the watch will run, but the power reserve will be small - about several hours

      Hi welcome to the forum. One can only reiterate the diagnosis already made by clockboy mainspring problem. But before tearing it to pieces take a little time to read the attached file to acquaint yourself with all the various parts. TZIllustratedGlossary.pdf

      B-Dip residue?

      By Geotex · Posted

      We think about these preps as "one-dips" partly because they are terrific solvents but also because the parts they are used on are often cleaner in general than many other parts. But old oils petrify, and even something like B-Dip can't clean up over-soiled parts without some extra effort, as mentioned above. There is an intermediate step during cleaning where the solvent can partially dissolve tarry residues so they have a more liquid varnish-like consistency, and that could well be what you are seeing on the coils after two washes. I wouldn't worry that your B-Dip was contaminated before you used it on this hairspring, but it I wouldn't re-use that aliquot AFTER this cleaning!
