The watch winds with the movement of your wrist.

• Case: Brushed stainless steel, 43mm x 13mm thick.
• Back: Engraved screw-in back

Cool operation!
The Naked Shaver Thank you👍👍
looks good Ken and nice work with the crystal, maybe you should changed one of the hands while you had it open.
frips1000 that will be the next thing I learn
Good job Ken. Takes a steady hand to do this kind of work and the right tools.. Pt. 2 anticipated....
I am loving that hint of blue on the crystal, good stuff!
A Real Cool Set Of Tools 🧰 Great Job Ken 👨🏼🔧😮😀
Good stuff, Ken! Heading over to Part 2!
The rubber ball makes it really easy to open the backs. I don’t torque them down too tight either.
👍👍
Congrats n that's a nice hobby, too. Myself doing this as well. Can be quite adrenalin pushing... cheers fm the lion city, Achim+

Nicely done, Ken. 😎👍✨
dgrishamkobo First time...lol
Great video can’t wait for part two very steady hand 👍
Nice and love you Ken👍👍
Awesome video!!! I can't wait for the next part. :) BTW a swiss army knife and a small rubber mallet will pop the bezel off very, very easily.
Intrlde very good👍👍👍
I want to get that blue crystal for my blue citizen... that looks great 👍!!!
Deadbuck73 Thank you👍👍
Double dome crystals always look awesome. Some people complain about the a/r blue throwing it off but, never bothered me. Stick with the ceramic black bezel. Keeps the classic look, and you know how durable the material will be.
Like I said in the other video, this watch is begging for that Bond Nato strap😎
Sick! Like a BOSS!
Just a heads up I believe you're not supposed to use the cotton gloves once you open up the case back, they create too much dust so you did the right thing using rubber gloves. Thank you.
Nice repair Ken. I have a question about your brother's Arnie was it easier to replace the crystal I want to do mine just didn't get around to it. Thanks
Ken it maintains the same wr standards whith this glass change? No need any glue or rubber seal?
What’s the watch on the wrist ken???
