I know Citizen only replaces an entire case (especially anything plated one). I don’t know if you have worked on a full titanium Citizen solar powered watches but I’ve recently sent one of my Citizen titanium watches to Citizen with a rose gold plated titanium case (titanium base). They only replace a case, and the case itself costs 15,000 yen+ to replace it. 😅 Overhaul service isn’t too bad though ¥18,000. Lol. Imagine the case with a glass cover costs almost the same as fully getting serviced on a watch. 😅 I’m still contemplating if I should get the case replaced. Haha Love your show btw, amazing!

Jesus Christ…. I have one of these citizen bullhead watches with the 8110A caliber (although it has an octagonal case), and let me tell you, these movements are a PAIN IN THE ASS to work with. I myself can service “normal” handwinding and automatic movements without complications, but this chronographs are out of the question, because not only they are full of weird springs and other crap, but they’re also packed with low-durability parts. In fact by looking at it it’s obvious that Citizen didn’t expect for these movements to be serviced, which is why they used to “repair them” by simply replacing the movements inside (a story shared with the Seiko 6139 caliber, used in the Pogue and Seiko bullhead chronographs). It’s fantastic to see how you restore this, especially considering how much watchmakers hate working on them (I’m still looking for someone to service mine 😅), and as everything this channel does, it’s just amazing!

yes you could. all you gotta do is have patience and organization to not lose parts, and take pictures/a video the first few times so you remember where everything goes. its like rebuilding an engine, just on much smaller scale.

Brad , you've got a beautiful watch my man. It's amazing how we look at things a dozen times or more a day and never once think about how there made. That was amazing. Whoops time to go.

Watching your restoration videos calms me down. It's like when I see the Mona Lisa or a Masterpiece.

It's fair to say that in this line of work having a jar of assorted screws and springs and bits that are the accumulated mystery left overs from various jobs is less common than it is in other trades.

Such a brilliant, brilliant video! Everything about this is just classy and entertaining. The work is amazing and the film making really nicely done. Your flux capacitor based time machine is amazing too, I was chuckling to myself as the dial changed!!! You set the bar so high sir and are a total inspiration. Brilliant! Richard

This is pretty amazing. A true restoration. I'm surprised you didn't use an airbrush for the orange paint on those hands though; it would've provided a smoother and more even finish. Beautiful job here though regardless, truly top notch.

It’s like what I would imagine Leonardo Da Vinci doing in his lab. I am in awe of your videos and how does he know where everything goes and what it does! Plus I love all your machines. You also have given me even more respect for the craftsmanship of many of the watches you display! However I’m a incredibly partial to your Rolex videos! Thank you for u are and sharing your craft with the world. You are in a class all your own!
