  • I found my 25 year old Citizen Eco Drive watch tucked away and the capacitor was dead. It had seen many days of hard use in it's life so I wanted to give it a bit of restoration starting with a full cleaning and polish job as best as I could by hand with Cape Cod polishing cloths. I changed the capacitor, greased the gasket and it came out great!

      Yes! I love chilling to his stuff at night! I’m in awe of how he flows his voiceover, often you can’t even tell it’s not live audio!

    Surprised to see you using steel tweezers to remove the Battery? unless your way of thinking is the battery is flat anyway? Nice Video though .I have a citizen eco drive model E210 and when changing out the battery a few years ago and this battery cover is retained with a screw and off course ( with no real force ) the screw head came off and have not even attempted to try and remove screw ,will have to have a go as its one of my favorite watches .Any tips if this is possible ?

    Where do you buy capacitor for year 2000 citizen watch? The citizen website doesn’t even recognize that old serial no or case number or model no

    Hi I have a Eco Drive repeater G900. It seems to not hold its charge. Citizen refused to repair/service it because the hands (yes HANDS) are no longer in stock.
