Restoration of a Rare Vintage Citizen Watch - A Hidden Gem!

For the Japanese watch lovers... I’m thrilled to introduce you to one of the best hidden gems among vintage Citizen watches. Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful (and rare!) Citizen Homer references ever produced. Unfortunately, this one in particular is absolutelly wrecked and may even be beyond repair... The question is, can we save it?

Join me in the journey to restore the first Japanese watch featured on the channel!

Full of admiration for your skills and explanation. My brother-in-law is the chief watch designer for Citizen and he absolutely loves the old designs, as I do. Best wishes from Japan.

Thank you so much for sharing this excellent video with the watch-loving community on YouTube: 👍👏👌. And the dial is truly spectacular.

That was a very educational video. Thank you. I just ordered a Citizen Watch with this movement in it from China. It is supposed to be running. I also ordered a Citizen Homer movement for parts just in case. I learned a lot from this video to help me in the future to service the watch. I do not have the skills to repair a balance complete like you did in this video. Beautiful work you did on this video. I am very impressed with the watch as it is very high quality for the time it was manufactured.

Thank you to make this videos on watches that I can afford I’m getting on this hobby and your video and explanation. Very good I’m tired looking other YouTuber they all want to fix Rolex and I can’t afford one.😂😂😂

fantastic video, as someone just getting into watches your videos are awesome. Your thought process is very followable and well narrated!
Also the endresult + the strap came out wonderfully tasteful

A 7a28 7010 fell into my hands and I would like to restore it. Its a Quartz and I will start with changing its battery. Lets see where the journey takes me.
