i am a newbie and this is my 1st post. i have just brought a citizen 21j  mov't 8200a.  i opened up the back to take a look at the movement and

when i gave it the seiko shuffle the oscillator weight was spinning very fast round and round. i checked the centre screw which was tight.  does 

anybody know this problem, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

yes, it works perfectly on the manual wind which i prefer but i like things to work as they should+

Think the oscillating weight moves pretty easy on this. One way to test is to let i go until it stops and then shake it some to see if it starts running. Then wear it for a day and put it aside and see how long it runs.  If everything is okay and it runs 30-40 hours  there should be no problem.

hi rogart63

yes i did what you suggested but it will not work on automatic for more than a few

seconds.  on reflection one of these watches passed through my hands a good few years ago

with the same fault, but anyway it works fine on the manual wind which i prefer, so i will

keep in my collection anyway. thanks for your input

best regards

roger

      Gamblin Gamsol for cleaning?

      By tomh207 · Posted

      I don’t know anything about this product, however assuming you have it if you put a drop on a mirror or piece of glass lying flat on a table and leave it to evaporate if it leaves any sort of residue it is not really suitable for watch part cleaning.   Tom

      I'm going to be setting up a decent little workshop here at home.

      Well I put the spa on Gumtree (selling service) to try and sell it as it only needs a recirc pump to get it going. However, it weighs circa 250kg, so there's 4 fairly strong guys, and I would have to remove the sliding door in the room completely to be able to get it out, as well as clearing out a multitude of potted plants and the Alfresco outdoor setting to be able to get it out. Then move nearly everything in the back of the garage to be able to push it through to the front of the house. I would also need to hire furniture skates to be able to shift it around as carrying it is out of the question. Then someone would need a trailer to get it to their place as you won't get it on the back of a ute. So, the only answer is, out with the reciprocating saw and cut it all up into manageable pieces. Crying shame as it is in really good nick. I was only asking $1,500 and only got two bites, but it would only take something to go wrong with removing the sliding door etc that everything I make on the sale could go out the door on repairs etc. It would have been nice to be able to turn it into tools etc, but que sera sera. I don't know about the rest of the world, but there just seems to be very little interest from people wanting to buy things secondhand.

      I would like to see the movement. The watch is the movement. Anyone can print a name on a dial and sell it as "the maker".

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Thanks for your answers! There seems to be a contradiction between these two answers, so perhaps I need to clarify. The flat and convex jewels look identical on the side facing away from the pivot shoulder. That is, there is an oil reservoir. I don't know if that changes anything but I thought it was safest to clarify since I didn't include a picture of the jewels from the opposite side.

      unfortunately paying attention to details bumps up the cost. Which is why they shortchange on manufacturing steps if they can.
