I still can recall seiko kinetic, while playing with the garbage I found a the plastic case of seiko kinetic it was leaf green and transparent, as a child these kinds of finds is like a treasure. That was how Iv'e known it

[@vferdman]

I have this watch, only with a silver dial and mine had no band, so I adapted a silicone one. It works well with the watch. I had to replace the crystal also and went with the double domed instead of slightly magnifying. I like it and I was also able to find a sapphire one, so no more scratches. I wear this watch a lot and the case is very scratched. I am now inspired to bring it to this level of beauty with a brushed finish. I wish I knew how... but I have a jeweler friend... Thank you for featuring this gem. I love this watch.

[@carguy4658]

I really wanted one of these Seiko Arctura kinetic watches on my trip through the sands of time, but my job back then required I have a scuba diving watch. I still have and use my Seiko day/date automatic divers watch, it still runs great. It is WELL used, has a history with me from around the world, nicks in the case, scratches from a dive in Manilla Bay on the crystal and I thought a year ago I should retire and replace it with another one. I was STUNNED at what the go for so, I will keep mine with our combined history. Love your channel and I am fascinated with your patience.

[@mnpd3]

I've bought a lot of non-working kinetics when they were cheap. People didn't realize about the only thing that went wrong with them was the capacitor went bad. I mixed and matched parts, replaced the rechargeable capacitor and came up with 4 fully working watches. The only thing is the only replacements I could find at the time were Panasonic MT920 capacitors which only charge to about 3/4th storage as the original Seiko cap. I cleaned and oiled all the movements according to the service instructions and all the watches work find years later.

Had a Seiko Kinetic Auto Relay back in the nineties as my first ‘good’ watch. Loved that thing and the cool function of shaking to wake it from sleep and watching the hands reset to correct time.

As a -hoarder- keeper of precious-to-me bits'n pieces since my childhood (in my fifties now) and ever since using those to randomly repair stuff other people would just throw away, I'm recurrently blown away by Your nonchalantly thrown-in remarks about having the one or other part, fatally defective in the watch You work on, in a probably better condition "... in my junk pile". It gets even better with those brief glimpses into random boxes, to the brim full of _not-at-all_ "junk". Recycling, reusing and restoring rocks, and doing it in that micro-scales You royally master rocks even more for me who already might struggle with the smaller Weber carburetor parts or Bosch injection pump springs .... Thank You for sharing what's going on (and around) Your bench, Mr Watchmaker !

I have this watch, and after watching this video several times, I took the plunge and replaced the battery/capacitor. The watch runs perfectly. Thanks for the info and the great commentary on all your videos.

[@marcse7en]

I have a Lorus Kinetic (with glass case back, made by Seiko in Japan, I believe), dating from 1996, which makes it 27 years old. It works perfectly, and has NEVER stopped once since it was bought. I also had a Seiko Kinetic (without glass case back), and it would never hold a charge in the capacitor, and was ALWAYS stopping. Obviously the Seiko capacitor was duff, and the Lorus looks like it will outlive me (I'm 60). EDIT: "Seiko Arm Cheese!" ... Mmm, yum! 👍😋🤣

I'm really happy to see that you restored a Seiko kinetic watch! That particular model was quite pricey back in its day. I own several kinetics and they keep great time - like five seconds or less per month depending upon the temperature. They stopped replacing the capacitors in favor of a rechargeable battery that is meant to last longer. Cheers!

[@Semajsenrab72]

I bought mine in Dubai for 600 in '98. Still wear it, had it serviced recently, Seiko Australia no longer carry parts or support the watch. Had a new capacitor put in, can't get the kinetic energy storage to go around the full 30 seconds, stops at the 20 mark

This kinetic Seiko watch was my first real good watch in the late 90s and yes they were great at keeping time and cool looking too. I wish I still had mine.

Just the black band, will use the silver pieces on the original on the new band. The only thing wrong, I can't get a full 30 second on the capacitor, only ever goes to 20.

@@Killsnapz Correct, but be careful when putting the oscillating weight back on. Make sure that the teeth on the winder engage with the very small cog that generates the charge for the cap.

[@alanmckinnon6791]

@@Killsnapz Beware that not all Kinetic movements use 3023 5MY. The differences in the part numbers are the mounting bracket and they are spot-welded in place so not interchangeable. They do all use the same Li-ion rechargeable battery (the capacitor version is long ago obsolete)

[@Killsnapz]

@@alanmckinnon6791 yes but the OP stated he had an AGS model which would make that movement the 5M23 and the correct capacitor for the 5M23 is the 3023 5MY.

I am well aware of all of the different part number capacitors Seiko uses as I have all of them in my inventory.

Greetings from Canada. Just happened on your channel. I have a passion for vintage cars and motorcycles so the restoration of anything mechanical is right up my alley. Viewing other watch repair channels, I'm surprised by the similarity of construction and parts used in various makes and models.

Also I prefer the commentary in your videos as you do provide some historical facts and just general watch restoration information. Fascinating! Sorry to be long winded and appreciate your efforts.
