Resurrecting a DEAD SEIKO SNA411 Flightmaster With a Fried Circuit Board

I bought a used Seiko SNA411 Flighmaster without knowing its circuit board was completely fried due to battery leakage. Whoever sold it to me rescued it from an old drawer and told me I only had to change the battery. Despite seeing all the leakage and the corrosion, I still tried to do a battery change. Obviously, that didn't work, so I went down the rabbit hole of watch restoration.
I changed the original circuit board for a YM62 circuit board made by Epson. It's exactly the same circuit board, and Epson makes it for other watches.

天呀!看看這性感的傢伙...這麼好的錶隨然不太貴，但值得如此對待。若下次想做機芯的保養，塑膠件可以用矽油塗抹養護維持彈性與韌性!

I didn't like the French parachute strap, so I searched and found a 21mm Zulu strap in medium gray with a thin yellow stripe down the center. I'm former Navy, so that's why I chose the gray. I rarely wear my SNA411P1 and it's pristine; however, I may do the crystal swap for the same one you used. I have a proper crystal press for the job. Also, my bezel is smooth, so I see no need to pop it off for the crystal job. Thanks for putting this out; I've bookmarked it for future reference.

@remiwatches8604 Год назад

Hi Harpo! Thanks for your comment! You can get the same crystal in the link in the description :) I will keep in mind the Zulu strap in middle grey. Thanks again!

@johnstone2728 Год назад

Thank you for the video, I have the same issues with my flightmaster. Will be restoring mine now, soon to be back on my wrist and not languishing in my draw.

@julianneale6128 Год назад

I have this same watch and love it. After you replaced that pcb, it must have been an extremely satisfying feeling to see it finally working... How and where did you find that part may I ask?😊

@remiwatches8604 Год назад

Yes! Actually when I flipped the watch and saw it working I was screaming with joy haha! I found the circuit board from a supplier friend, the link is on the video description :D Thanks for your comment!

@christianhopkins7751 Год назад

That’s really cool. I bought a replacement bezel as well how did u remove it 😅. I’m having trouble with that part.

@remiwatches8604 Год назад

With a watchmaking knife... try not to dent the bezel though. No need to remove the crystal to do so. You can also replace the crystal without removing the bezel :)

@ritul89 Год назад

fantastic video.. and especially cause i have the Seiko SNA411.. if anything happens to it.. might have to hit you up!

@carlycruise 6 месяцев назад

I have this watch from 2005, never had anything done with it, how much would it be to replace the crystal and battery from a repair shop on average - thanks

@miguelcastaneda7257 Год назад

Thanks video will try this if and after if reset doesn't work

@Adam-eo5ff 2 года назад

Great video mate. How did you remove the bezel? I've tried my hardest and can't get it to budge. Does the crystal have to be off first?

@remiwatches8604 2 года назад

Thanks Adam! I removed it with the knife tool for watchmaking. if it doesn't pop out, you can try tapping it with the little hammer with the plastic head, make sure the case is well held. And no, you don't need to remove the bezel to replace the crystal. Actually better if you don't. Best Regards, r

Hi, the link to the crystal is dead, which dimension was it? Thanks

@haslau87 Год назад

Great video, precise and thorough. kudos! I am gonna try fiddling with my own flighty as well based on this, as the seconds hand (the actual seconds hand, not the chronograph timer - that runs) has unfortunately stopped moving, meaning the main watch function doesn't work :( it might have happened after I dropped it on tile flooring. Any idea, what can cause this? the watch maker said it needs a new movement, for which he would charge me an ridiculous 350$ US for here in Copenhagen DK (everything is expensive here, but c'mon, that way more than just buying a new SNA411). But yeah, ultimately I can buy a completely new movement online at apx 100$ and change it myself instead, but would prefer to just fix the original movement if possible. You know because of affectionary reasons :) Your input would be much appreciated ! Keep up the good work buddy

@remiwatches8604 Год назад

Hello Hasse! Thank you very much for your kind words! Sorry for the late reply, I have been very busy at work :/ As for your questions... If the Seconds hand is not moving, it might be off-place, meaning that it's not turning because it's not touching the movement. Another issue would be that the movement is actually damaged from the fall (ouch) which is very likely as well. If you want a new movement, you can change it yourself. Check my store, the links are on the description and there's a replacement movement for you... at a reasonable price :) and with free shipping included. Now if you want to rey to fix it, if a fall is the cause, quartz movements can be a little tricky and replacement parts might be hard to find. Try putting the seconds hand in place first. If not, replace the movement... and don't let it fall on the tile floor again ;) I suggest you get a replacement movement and bring your flighty back to life as you try fiddling with the broken one. I hope this comment is helpful for you! Best Regards, Remi

Great work! Where did you buy the case holder? Is it for seiko 7T62 cased seiko watches or all 3 pusher chronographs? Also, did you have to remove any of your hands at any of your works? I’m trying to swap a movement to a new one

@remiwatches8604 2 года назад

Hi! These are good questions. The case holder came in with the watch repair kit for beginners, I can get it added on kodomostore if you're up for purchasing it. Let me know through the email in the description. Now if you're talking about the movement holder/spacer, then I didn't purchase it, it came with the watch. Whether it fits with the other 7T62 chronographs, I don't know, I'd have to try. I normally remove the hands but it wasn't necessary this time. Thank you for watching! Best Regards, r
