Genuine SEIKO™ CAPACITORS REPLACED
|
Is your watch 5 years old or over? Does
it run OK as long as you wear it? But loses time overnight? The CAPACITOR
is most likely at the end of it's useful lifespan. If your Seiko Kinetic
watch is rated water-resistant up to 50 meters/165 feet, you can have it's
capacitor
professionally replaced NOW.
DeLoachWatchService.com ONLY installs Genuine
rechargeable power
cell on all Seiko Kinetic watches sent in to us for replacement.

Many of the old style
capacitors have been DISCONTINUED by Seiko.
We use only GENUINE SEIKO
parts only. They are still referred to as "capacitors" by some
but the new part is actually the new
Lithium-ion rechargeable power cell.
These power cells replace the
original capacitors chemical composition with different chemicals.
A new "capacitor", or Lithium-ion
rechargeable energy cell when fully charged to 100%
capacity should last 5 years or more, providing the watch is
charging okay and doesn't need major servicing (COA - clean, oil &
adjust). NOTE: DWS will only guarantee these replacement
cells for a period of one (1) year from the date marked on the cell
when installed.
Service Includes:
-
State of the ART Ultrasonic cleaning of the case & metal band only
in safe BIO-DEGRADABLE cleaners.
-
Clean & lube the setting crown gasket
-
Crown gasket and case tube inspected for precision fit
to determine degree of proper sealing capacity
(If the crown is worn out
and does not seal out dirt and moisture, you will be notified so
as to allow you the opportunity to have it replaced
-
Date code & install new genuine
Seiko Lithium-ion rechargeable power cell according to factory
specifications.
-
Precision inspection of the sealing capacity of case and
case-back areas to determine it's dependability.
-
Inspect and install new superior grade silicone O-ring rubber case-back
gasket to insure optimum sealing capacity if needed.
-
Inspect watch band links and case lugs
and replace damaged, broken or missing spring bars/pins/screws as
necessary.
Capacitors are different compared to a
watch battery, or the new Seiko Lithium-ion rechargeable
energy cells. They are limited to storing a small electric
charge applied to it via a micro power generator. A "capacitor" does
not contain chemicals and therefore can not produce electricity by
way of chemical reaction.
"Capacitors" have metal plates stacked one upon the other and are separated
by a plastic insulator between each plate. The number of plates used
produces the necessary voltage to power the movement, which is about 1.2
volts.
The charging mechanism of the timepiece generates a small charge of current which is applied
to the plates and are capable of storing energy in excess of that required
to operate the watch during a certain amount of time.
When the watch is motionless
it will stop the charging process of the "capacitor", and the remaining charge inside the
capacitor is used to power the watch. If the watch is left motionless for extended periods of time, the
capacitor (old style), may not hold a charge as well as before, or even
not charge back up at all.
