Cool, Great vid, I have a similar watch from Citizen which I got from the Usa in 92 , the old dead batterys were left in for a long time and when I opened the back There was some brown gundge around the negative battery terminals. I think I may have to send to Citizen to revive.

@@hovermotion Many thanks for those nice words, friend. Usually these watches never die. It must be a good cleanup it needs. If the analog part does not run either, try loosing the screws on the gear plate a bit, and putting a bit of ligther fluid and then applying a bit of thin watch oil on the jewel holes in the plate. Hope that helps and cheers!

Nicely done 👍. And interesting to know what battery for different function on the watch. Thank you for sharing 😀

I think I did, it was a long time ago 😀

Very Informative. I commented earlier on another video, a friend of mine gave me a first Gen, and I changed the batteries, I thought I pushed the reset button but I see the tool was too big. Nor did I connect + and - plate. I took it to a watchmaker, he did it and only charged me $15. Now I know for next time! Can I ask, you had a box of parts. The bezel action on my watch is poor. Thinking about switching it out, however, I suspect parts are hard to come by. Would you consider parting with one of your Two Tone bezels? Thanks for the Videos!

Hello friend, many thanks for watching. I remember your previous comment. I might have one spare bezel two tone, however they are in bad shape. I can share some photos if you will, just send me an email. I am in Asia now. I will be back home in June though. Cheers!

@@plasticindices3385 Sir- I was thinking out loud. It is not urgent that I replace the bezel. I never used it, or dive. 🙂 You have a great collection of AquaLand. They are very unique watch. I really like that the seconds hand hit every "Indices". Thanks again.

Why do you put the tweezer in those 2 little holes after installing the batteries? Just to restart? Should I press the tweezer in both holes at the same time? And which of the 3 holes do you press? The middle one? Thanks for the video.

Yes. Oftentimes installing the battery will swap the polarity on the terminals. This is because the + pole touches the - plate. So the tweezers trick restarting the module is necessary. Another way to do that is just by pulling the crown out and pressing all 4 buttons at the same time. It doesnt matter which hole you touch on the plate. They all lead to the + pole. Thanks for watching 👋🏻

Just can't get mine going, I watched this video 6 times now, batteries are good. I am not sure about pushing those three buttons a the same time. Before or after battery change?

@plasticindices3385

No, pushing the buttons will not get the analog part running. Most probably is that the gears are filthy and need a thorough clean up. However, disassembling the gear train is not recommended. So please slightly untight the 3 screws from the gear train (just a tiny bit) and gently apply a bit of lighter gas. Let the gas evaporate and apply a tiny bit of oil on each gear pivot (these appear on the top of the gear train inntge form of 3-4 jewels). The watch should be running now. Hope this helps
