Just ordered an ol Citizen miyota 8200 from india on ebay... and your video is the best one ive seen on this movement... most watchmakers wont touch these cuz they are boring and cheap... but i say they are bullet proof... Im currently running a Prim Sport on my wrist for the last 5 years... got it cheap but man is it bulletproof as well(no plastic gears🤣)... you do some good work... thanx for the video... its gonna help once i recieve mine in the mail... peace from Canada...✌🏼🇨🇦
Thank you for the video, this helped me to repair my Citizen Automatic, the date function did not want to work 100%, but now is in fully working order!!
Hey! Just wanted to say thank you for making this video. With the help of it, I managed to replace the old damaged movement and put a new one in. Now the watch is like new :D Thank you!
you scared me when you went for the mesh bracelet! but you picked an elegant bracelet that the watch deserves. enjoyed watching, and enjoyed that it wasn't me thinking "what does that funny part do"
Thanks to all of you who show us how to repair change and give maintenance to watches. I've got very rusted Citizen seven eagle with Miyota 8200, it was My dad's, he never took it to repair, the watch got sea water inside so, it ended all rusted and months dial got dehintegrated, yes, it just turned to dust and the black face got whiteish all over, so I decided to restore the face and change the whole movement. I've done it before with smaller movements like Miyota 2035 and another brand wich I can't remember its name, movement has same size/dimensions as 2035. It will be easy (I think) just to make the 8200 change and get the watch to work again. Oh, I'm not an expert in watchmaking or maintenance, I'm just a guy who likes to do it himself. Of course I have to take all precautions so the movement ends working properly. Thanks for the vídeo, wish me luck because as I said, I don't even have the correct tools. 😅
I have done service on my two first watches, both Citizens, and both times I have managed to break the pivots on the delicate escape wheels!........Not quite a pro yet!!!
I have a 1975 8200 Citizen and I rarely wear it as its just too small for me but it works abs brilliantly for its age and gives a good timegrapher reading so plenty of life in it still. I'm recasing my two Seiko 7009's tonite as bought a rare sports bezel'd 7009 case from ebay which my -3100 is being transferred to, the -3100's case will then house the horrid Indian'd 3040 and I have from Russia coming another 7009 which is missing its stem and crystal and will use the leftover bits I got to put that one back in service :) Would love to see a Soviet quartz vid if you ever get your hands on a Soviet 3050, 3056 or 3056A or the even rarer 3055 Luch hybrid electro-mechanical movements :D
Funny how the bracelet you used looked EXACTLY LIKE the original these come with. You got the day and date to switch exactly how they actually do with these. You see the day change around 2:30am with these. I have a gold one that's like a 2004. The 7 has like a red sheild background inside a gold eagle. Mine is 9ct gold plated.
Nice video, enjoyed watching this good old friend, a true workhorse from Citizen. If you have a chance, could you please do a video for hi-beat movements like Citizen caliber 7210 (28800) or 7230 (36000). It’d be awesome. Thank you again, and keep up the good work my friend.
Thank you for this great video. I admire your skills and precision. I bought for my father from eBay two 8200a in India, and since they were not accurate I tried to adjust them but I must have damaged the spring mechanism then now one does not move anymore and the other one starts when I shake it and then stops. I wonder if spring mechanism parts can be purchased but I believe having them serviced will be higher than the 40 euros each one costed. Thank You
Will this movement drop into the case of a 2813? I have an Asian one and was curious about this upgrade. Since you had that video where you did similar. I have a Datejust clone that is super nice would like to upgrade the movement. Thanks for your help.
I'm busy doing my first ever watch service. A bit older version of this movement from a Citizen Automatic 7. The I broke the part that you put in around 3:02. Any suggestion what I can do?
hi, love the video, i recently bought a watch with the same case and was wondering where you got that watch strap from! mine currently has a leather strap but i think it looks bad and want a strap like the one you used in this video! could you share where you got yours from? thanks!
Hello, I have a question to see if you can give me a hand, I have a citizen 7 eagle with the same movement (8200a), but it has been kept for a year and a half, I sold it yesterday and the buyer tells me that the watch has stopped for 3 sometimes even wearing it on the wrist...do you think that due to the time it has been stored it should be charged longer or perhaps it needs maintenance (lubrication)...what do you recommend, regards.
Hi, 8200a you have to wear at least a day so it gets his significant power reserve, ofcourse when the last service was for 5 years or longer, have to be done either
what do you think about this type of mechanism, I am a passion for automatic watches but being a student yet with low badget i took mayota 8125 parnis. i hope if u tell me what do u think about ! thx . nice job i like ur video a lot !
@@tickingWATCH I actually bought it :) but now that I have seen your video belding one :)I would love to mount my one also! so what moviemento tips to level up but without spending a lot do u Recommendations
I am not very sure If you'll reply but here it goes... I have my grandfather's Citizen 7 eagle that dates back to 1982-83. Its crown doesn't work quite properly and I have trouble adjusting the dates and I also am not able to manually wind it. I don't have much of a problem in changing the date of the watch but the Day segment is giving me problems, often have to do it a multiple times to set it correctly. Any suggestions?
hello at 3:11, putting the bridge piece back on, having trouble getting it to line up. not sure which side goes up on 3rd and 4th wheel (3:06). can you tell me is this right - the thicker wheel has long pin on one side and sprocket and short pin on other side - the hole is big so sprocket side goes down right? ; and the thinner wheel closer to the outside has short pin on one side and long pin on other side - which side goes down, short pin or long pin? thanks need help
Hi, could be that the cannon pinion sites, not enough together with the centre wheel, you need to squeeze it a little bit, but be careful there not to damage it, only a little bit so that you will feel some force when you adjust the time
Hey! I have the same movement and it works just fine but the rotor is not rotating that smooth as in your watch. It rotates freely to the neutral direction but it can't do that on the direction that it's supposed to wind the mainspring. I've checked everything over and over again but i couldn't see anything wrong :/ Do you have an idea? I would appreciated if you can help.
@@tickingWATCH oh ok thank you sir I iquite enjoyed your video genuinely its simple short clean and your way of explaining is very sweet and makes you enjoy the complexity even more specially the voice tone keep up the good work and bless u💝
it isn't so difficult but for your first watch I would recommend something bigger like movement 6497 (它并不难,但是对于您的第一只手表,我会推荐更大的机芯,例如6497型机芯) translated with google 👍
¡¡ YES, GREAT JUST WAITING FOR, ALSO OTHER'S ( DIFFICULT ' TO ASSEMBLY LIKE " CHINNESE #2813) GREATEST FOR HOBBIES TO LEAR, HOROLOGY" PATIENT'S ,& CARE !!! .
