When given a tap the watch starts ticking like normal again only to go into a twitch a few hours later. (Give the stem a little turn in the other direction to stop the movement.) The big hands will move as the. Turn the stem to the left to cause the date number to change. (See Changing modes above.) Pull the stem to its mid position.

Setting the date Make sure Dial C is set to CHR. But now it has started stopping abruptly and the second hand goes into a bit of a twitch moving forward and backward in the same position (not two second ticks). (NOTE: This doesnt always work.) Push the stem in all the way. This I took to another watch repair shop and asked them to install it for me, which they did and it was working fine and keeping good time as far as I could tell (the batteries were compatible because I checked the one he'd got out). I figured the calbre was a citizen eco-drive 7878 from the markings on the back and ordered a 295-56 () battery/capacitor for it. Took is to a high-street watch repair shop and three weeks later it was returned to me saying the parts on this are obsolete and cannot be found, but this time it was ticking every two seconds or so (this I understand is a typical sign of low battery/capacitor). it was not working at all when I got it(meaning second hand was not moving). I recently got this watch and is roughtly 22 years old.
