I am looking for someone that had worked on a 1970’s citizen 8110-A movement and is familiar with the movement. Looks like it was a watch not sold in the U. S.  It has a over complicated chrono  and I don’t understand how to reattach the chronograph mechanism. All the parts are replaced and almost impossible to find. Already spent $500 on a $1000 watch. Can anyone help?

 Sometimes I think what we have ignored and are well capable of doing on this forum is COLLECTIVE WALKTHROUGS. A type of help& advise in which members can choose a project like this 8810, anounce joining,  and pledge to work together until completioton. The difference with what we alreday do, would be in  collective walkthrough group , each memeber who joins pledges to works as if the project was his own.  

I think toptime is capable of overhauling a chrono complication or he wouldn't have attempted it, but have run to an issue which he hasn't so far figured out.

                                                         HOW ABOUT THAT WRT

    • I came up with a topic that might be helpful for partners, friends, or family members of watch enthusiasts: gift ideas for people who are passionate about watches. Of course, more watches are always appreciated, but what are some other gift options related to this hobby or collection? What related gifts would you love to receive?
    • Thanks Mark. I think I’ll leave the beat error for now - it’s a fixed stud so I’d have to adjust the collet position.    The watch has bigger problems. On reassembly I’ve found that the hour counter reset hammer is broken - I didn’t do it, the main hammer part was just not there. Can’t easily identify a replacement part. And the subdial hands. The running seconds hand needs an extended pivot tube as the pivot is below dial level. Can’t find one of them either. I’ve found a central seconds hand that might fit it - going to have a go at cutting, filing and polishing it to make it work. 
    • Good morning. I have a Caliber 11DO 17 Jewel that I utterly destroyed practicing on. My question is this. Are the 17j and 7j compatible in relation to swapping out parts such as the Wheel Train and Balance? Thank you in advance. 
    • Ah ok thanks , i see thing differently now. Won't that catch the wheel rim though ?
    • No Mark it does not offend me. I think I have already started another thread on the matter before you replied. But since you are unwilling to discuss it with us, I will discontinue posting there.  Thank you for considering it though. That's a good policy to have H , you should always safeguard yourself. Knowing who you can trust and who you can't is not a permanent thing. People's values change, people change and adapt to their situations,thats just nature stepping in and running the show. Not everyone is as genuine as you are H. The new no advertising looks much better, it never bothered me much, but it still feels cleaner.  I'm pleased that your thread regarding the missing images was also returned, so thats good news as well. It appears a lot of mine have also been removed ...oh well...🤷‍♂️
