wonderful! I sent the same watch into Citizen for a service. It came back fully working and they only charged £60. However, I suspect that they probably just swapped out the movement and threw the old one away. Lovely to see the love, attention, and time given to restore this beautiful old watch.

Hi! What was the original movement? Did they swap it for a hackable movement?

One of the most beautiful watches ever made!

Good ol' citizen automatic divers watch. They really are a very very good strong watch. Brilliant video 👍.

Wow. I have a ‘thing’ for Citizen and Seiko divers watches. I’ve just sat in awe of this video. I wish I had the knowledge, equipment, steady hands, patience to do this. Thanks so much for the insight. Simply superb!!!

Very impressive. That's a watch to be proud to wear!

some say you need to let the presure out of the cilinder with the watch case still in the water. only then you can say if bubles coming out or not is a sing of water tight. also test the case only before encolsing the movment within it. if anything goes wrong, the movment dial and hands are still dry and all you need is to sort out a case.

I admire your dedication in every single little detail; especially the amount of patience you had when you tried to remove every bit of debris and residual glue from the bezel groove beneath the spring😊

Fantastic. Just the right length too. I don't always have time to watch 30-40 minute restorations.

Hey, i own a similar ny0080. I removed the bezel a while ago but i never manage to put it back in. I dont know where i could get the proper bezel wire for the case. I got one for a vostok but seems to be extremely difficult to sit in. I got a basic watch crystal press. Any advice?

@kevinbeckett2181

2 methods. 1 have it in the water and pump the pressure up. If it fills up its leaking (and damaged) 2 you have it above the water, pump up the pressure (if there are any leaks, the air pressure in the watch will go up) then lower it in the water and release the pressure valve. If there was a leak then this will show as bubbles from the effected area as the pressure in the tank becomes normal and the watch equalises with the outside pressure. This way when you find a leak, you can lift it up quick to save the watch.

@@wristwatchobsession5585 No, but when you pressure test as a repair person, they typically keep the movement out during that step to ensure water resistence works, to protect the movement. If you treat it with a valuable movement inside and it gets wet, it could be trouble for you.

Hallo, erst einmal meinen Dank an Dich für Deine tollen Videos! Aber eine Frage habe ich zu diesem Video hier: Ziemlich am Ende des Videos machst Du einen Drucktest auf Wasserdichtigkeit mit der restaurierten Uhr. Du baust Druck im Tester auf, senkst die Uhr in das Wasser ab, schreibst dann "No Bubble, No Trouble", hebst die Uhr wieder aus dem Wasser heraus und lässt (der Tonspur zufolge) DANN den Druck ab. Müsstest Du nicht den Druck langsam ablassen _solange die Uhr noch unter Wasser ist_, um zu schauen ob DABEI (beim Ablassen des Drucks) Blasen aufsteigen? Sie bei erhöhtem Aussendruck einfach einmal die Uhr einzutauchen und wieder herauszuholen sagt ja nichts aus…
