[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 4370555, member: 3099"] My dad gave me a Seiko Kinetic that he had bought years before and mostly stopped wearing. I wore that watch daily for 2-3 years before the battery/capacitor/whatthehellever gave up the ghost. It sat in a drawer for awhile and then I let [USER=24867]@thor447[/USER] see if he could get it running again. He actually found factory Seiko parts for it even though that movement had been out of production for years. He cleaned and tuned it up and it was all good. For awhile... I think the Kinetics need to be worn often and I wasn't doing that since it was a keepsake watch. I think that if you let the "battery" run down repeatedly they just don't last. It now sits back in the keepsake section of the drawer. I saw this one on Jomashop and bought it because it's very closely styled to that kinetic that dad gave me. It's almost the same except it's a bigger caliber and it's an automatic which was icing on the cake. It'll last as long as I do and then some. [/QUOTE]
