In this video, I restore a 1960s Citizen mechanical watch and bring its unique "Jet" movement back to life.

The repair is simple overall, but there are a few important points to watch out for — like the wire spring, the reverse-thread ratchet wheel screw, and the stem removal position. These small details may be helpful for anyone working on vintage Citizen movements. If you enjoy vintage watch repairs, I hope this video is useful.

Thank you for watching. Please note that this is a non‑professional restoration. Follow at your own risk — and enjoy the process.
