Maaaannnn... the youtubers make it look so easy...

I thought I could maybe change out my own capacitor in my seiko kinetic watch.

Yeah--no. Those screws are so small they may as well be theoretical particles

@ldroadie @mikeflstfi So I put the new cap in & put the little cover on & was able to re-attach the rotor over top of that with the screw. But the cap & its cover are free-ballin' it in the watch. I screwed the back cover on & figured I'd go throw myself on the mercy of the local jeweler & see if they could do anything for me.

To my surprise, the watch is running today. But if I move it around, the rotor makes a delightful scraping sound.

@rpardee @ldroadie
I wish I had some experience with those types of watches. Regardless, I’d be concerned about any scraping sound.

@mikeflstfi @ldroadie heh--yeah, I'm still going to see if I can get some professional attention for it. I like this watch, and it's only 9 years old...
