Hello, All. New Member here.

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.

    • Most all my 404 candidates are coming from swap meets and "antiques fairs". One more $4US plus battery and elbow grease. Unnamed digital on a decent ss bracelet. Gains 10 seconds a day so not that accurate...
    • I voted.for the 6.99 assuming £, which works out to $8.74US at the current exchange rate.
    • £4.04 originally worked out to $5, or thereabouts accounting for currency fluctuations. Inflation calculator from 2020 (when the thread was started, though not when Andy coined the term) says we're looking at $6 currently. What currency is the 6.99 inflation adjusted figure cited in the poll? $6 may still seem restrictive, but don't forget that's part of the point. It's a challenge. Thrill of the hunt and all. Diamonds in the rough. Also, and my personal angle on the game, a fun and inexpensive way to learn watchmaking skills.
    • Dear all My first experience servicing a quartz watch after servicing as an hobby my mechanic watches for many years. This is an old Certina that was given to me by a friend, with  a ETA/ESA 9362 movement. Before service I put a new battery and the watch was working. After servicing the movement stopped working. i understand that there might be a lot of reasons for this (including the fact that I used technics and oils from mechanic movements on this one  ), but at this stage I would only need to check if the electronic module is good. Don't have a quartz tester but only a multimeter. You will see on the photos that the battery contact is broken and needs soldering. With the battery in the movement I can confirm that the electronic module had power (1.57v). Question: what basic tests can I do with a multimeter to confirm that the electronic module is good? how to check if the coil is good and if there is pulse in the electronic module? what contacts should I use to test it? (I saw some videos on you tube but was not able to find the specific test procedures for the ETA 9362). Any information to help me check if the reason for the movement to stop is on the electronic or mechanic part of the watch is much appreciated. Many thanks
