#SeikoKinetic #BatteryCapacitorReplacement #DIY
I just inherited two from my brother that need capacitor replacing. One is a 4R36 (which I won't know the battery until it gets here) The other is a 5M63. My mother got a quote over the phone of $100-400 EACH to repair them. I have the tools to repair them myself, now with your video, I have the knowledge!
I disassemble my Seiko Kinetic watch but forget little gear is concave or convex but thanks for your video, I able to confirm it is correct. By the way, I used the old gasket and bracket since it is the original old part and has to be fit perfect on the watch since it is made in factory. For DIYers, PLEASE make sure you have (something like in the video) holding on the metal bracket especially when screwing the SECOND screw, because the bracket can flip up and the screw will jump off and you may miss the little screw forever. Thanks for the video.
Great footage! And I highly appreciate that you didn't spoil the video with music. But what could happen to a watch after too much lubrication?
gongrats on 3K and glad to see the weekly uploads , keep it up
Thanks Jonna-X, nice to see you again :-)
Searching for Seiko SJ22 movement capacitor replacement. The video starts with other Seiko movement so at a first glance this video was not suitable. Then found it at the end. Thanks. Did it in my SJ22-0D60 successfully but things look much smaller when you're doing it with the naked eye.
Fantastic footage.The owner of the second (filthy)watch should have his widdle handdies SWAPPED!
Thanks Tammy :-). True!
Super-clear video quality and a sensible pace of instruction make this video a classic.
Many thanks.
Thanks Analogue, you're welcome :-)
@@therealwatchdoctor hi can i know what the tool that looks like a plastic (the red & clear one) that used to guide with your tweezer?
16:56 Thank you..saved my Watch
3 for the price of one!
Nice video!!!
Thanks Theo :-)
tikkend milieu delict deze Seiko 😂 Kon wel een schoonmaakbeurtje gebruiken! Alle goeds voor 2021!!
Well done! Clean job....👍
Thanks :-)
@@therealwatchdoctor 👍
As for me, you are a wonderful artist. I was amazed that I had never seen watches like this before thanks for your help as new information
Thanks again Almasri, nice to hear that you have learned something new :-)
thanks for this video. Wanted to learn to replace capacitor for Seiko 5J32 movement.
Great as always my friend. Thank you for sharing and happy new year!
Thanks again for your comment and also a happy new year for you Dmitri.
Such an excellent video. So well done. Thank you
Thanks Bbulliard ;-)
thank you for the great video.
New to Horology as a career and love to learn and discover. Such as that Horotec band holder! How did I miss that?!
Wonderful video and educational content again, thank you...
Thanks Phillip :-)
Thanks for posting this, it was a big help. I'm afraid my 5M22 has other problems. =(
Rélisé sur seiko kinetic 5M22 ce jour.
Refonctionne parfaitement.
merci
I really appreciate the work you are doing here and the quality of the video. Which lens do you use for your videos? The 100mm macro or the wide angle?
Hello Jeffrey, thanks! I change between 2 lenses.
Excellent video and a job well done. Please forgive my ignorance, but on the Seiko 5M42-0E69, what is the purpose of the see through window on the caseback at 1:19?
Thanks Daud. On the Seiko 5M42-0E69, what is the purpose of the see through window on the caseback? Just to see a piece of the movement i think. Better then nothing, right? :-)
@@therealwatchdoctor My pleasure and yes. Better than nothing is best. A peep into the engine is so much fun. 😊
Hello! A very good video for me as a watchmaker is interesting. I subscribed to your channel and I will carefully watch your videos on disassembling and assembling watches of different brands, I want to repair both Rolex and Omega and other calibers. Thank you.
Thanks man! :-)
I have an "Oakley Timebomb" that uses the same movement. It does not have access from the front. How do I remove the movement from the case? THANKS FOR THE HELP!
Bonjour, grâce à ta vidéo j ai pu réparer ma seiko kinetic 5M42. Merci.
On the Seiko 5M42A, what is the screw size for the two small screws that are holding down that battery retention plate?
Would have loved to see the cleaning process
Thank you so much
I have 5J22 QA90 and i broke the metal/latex strap and i cant find the replacement. Did you have any substitute that fit in that watch?
This video has convinced me. I will never buy a Seiko Kinetic. There is no reason (other than design) why a capacitor need to be more difficult to replace than a battery!
Hello William, "There is no reason (other than design) why a capacitor need to be more difficult to replace than a battery!" is this the only reason you will not buy a Seiko Kinetic watch?
any recommendations on replacemnt strap as mine has rotted away and main unit still works and in immaculate condition??
Apart from a new capacitor what else may fail in a kinetic watch, I have had the capacitor replaced 2 times and on both occasions the capacitors have only lasted 6-8months, the caliber is YT57 any ideas would be welcomed, thank you 👍
Can you tell what that stand you used to hold the watch with the arms was called?
I hope your ok, I miss your videos.
Hello Blake Frost, I am ok. Sorry for the delay, very busy times in the workshop. I will upload a new video in a few hours ;-)
Geduldig wachten voor nieuwe content😂
Komt er zeer binnenkort aan, sorry zeer druk geweest in de workshop.
Is there any harm done if an automatic stops (power runs down) during a day/date change? For example, a Seiko skx, which takes 5 hours to complete the whole day/date change.
No Bernardo
My local jeweler said it doesn’t need a new battery/capacitor. Just keep shaking it. I’ve been doing that for days. No dice. Has the same stuttering second hand.
Hi am wetting new video
It's long time ?
Hello Almasri, i'm sorry for the delay, today there will be a new video released ;-)
Wel you service my watch n how much it will be?tank u
Can one change the (Panasonic MT920, Coin-type Rechargeable Lithium Battery) here by just opening the caseback?
Hello, if you do this very carefully, and you follow the instructions as in the video, it should definitely work.
5m42 0E39 what type of battery do you use? thankyou
Check the description of the video. Good luck
#25 thumbs uP Have you done a Citizen Eco drive Batt Replace?
Thanks Steve, yes I dit it sometimes. It's almost like a normal watch battery replacement, easier then a Seiko Kinetic capacitor replacement.
There is a much more horrible one than the Arctura there, that being the Pulsar Antonio Banderas Kinetic... you have to gingerly with a screwdriver try and find the little tab under the dial to release the stem and its evil hard to discover it as its a wholly top loader like the Arctura but the setting lever isn't the same arrangement nor are there cutouts handy to use. Took me couple hours fishing to discover the damned thing, very frustrating capacitor change, the actual cell itself was a doddle :S
As insomnia claims me I thought I would have a video up or two, am actually changing the cell in a 5M62, I was lucky too as I had bought a 24T in error when they were only a couple of pounds and I won off ebay a virtually unworn Seiko Kinetic with a dead cell for very silly money, glad I didn't send back the erroneous purchased cell saving me a fair bit at todays prices :D
where you at doctor you MIA AGAIN???
It's been a long time... (very busy in the workshop), but a new video coming soon ;-)
Think I'll go to Simpsons.
Is that a watchmaker or do you mean the cartoon?! :-)
@@therealwatchdoctor oh sorry, that was a predictive text error... Timpson's is a UK watch and general household repair shop.
A used watch will not have the same price as a new one 💲
Try to buy the paul newman's daytona
@@davidelias90 - not my taste!
@@solstar4778 neither mine, but it was sold near 18 millions bucks
I don't have enough money for that, lol :-)
Certainly true, and if there is still a nice history attached to the vintage watch, it is important that the watch case is not polished because the scratches are part of the story.
