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 HectorLooi · Posted

      I existed before the term mechatronics engineer existed. I had to combine electricity, electronics, pneumatics, hydraulics and computing just to keep my own equipment working. I have never sub contracted any of my own repairs to the suppliers because I know I could do a better job. For a long time, dental suppliers in my country would bring their dead equipment to me that their own engineers cannot handle. I have accidentally embarrassed a couple of hospital heads of engineering by demonstrating their inadequacy.  I think mechatronics is the most under-appreciated, under valued of all the engineering sciences. I had a part-time dental assistant about 25 years ago, who was studying mechatronics in the polytechnic. She was absolutely clueless about the job prospects for a mechatronics engineer. I asked her about her aspirations and she replied that she really wanted to work in the games industry.  In our dental profession, equipment have evolved from simple mechanical to electro-mechanical to logic-driven electro-mechanical and currently to computer driven machines.  The medical equipment suppliers who employ mechanical engineers and/or mechanical engineers cannot cope with the repairs of the newer equipment. And many times end up changing whole modules and whole machines just because they cannot repair them. But I think HR is afraid to employ a mechatronics engineer just because they don't know what a mechatronics engineer does. Mechatronics is much more fun. It combines almost all of the engineering sciences and produces an all-rounded engineer. But until HR changes their mindset, not all door will be open.

      Pcket watch "Art déco"?

      By RichardHarris123 · Posted

      I can't find anything similar either.  All the writing on the case was a form of advertising, stem set, Swiss lever etc usually found on older watches.
