Hey all,

I'm new to the forum and hope I found the right subforum to post my question. If not, please feel free to move it to the correct place.

I tried the search function as well, but couldnt find anything.

I own a 1st generation Citizen Navihawk . . . . ...

Me too. . except with the red and black one.
I do have a different problem. The minute hand had fallen off years ago and I just got around to having a local jeweler put it back on and replace the battery. I did the reset proceedure and got the digital and analog back in sync. However the 24 hour world time hands are not aligning properly. For example at 12 noon eastern the 24 hour clock reads 3am.
I dunno if the attached pic will help or confuse but here is the watch at almost 10am and the 24 hr is at 1am.
I did the reset 2 or three times with the same result.
Any ideas?
This is not a deal breaker by any means. This watch will once again be my daily watch to wear.

That being said, the jeweler mentioned the pinion for the hands was delicate and may have suffered damage and be the reason the minute hand fell off in the first place. If there are problems in the future with this watch I would like to repair it if I could. For some reason I expect problems

My Thought/Question? If i were to get a new C300 movement replacement would that replace everything but the hands? battery? The face?

For sentimental reasons I would fix it up to a point (maybe 100-150$US?) After that just by a new one.
I like to work on things myself but I have never worked on wrist watches. I would not mind learning.

I am very happy to have this watch working again. I am a bit scared to have it break again. I am thinking of getting a deluxe repair kit and a c300 movement preemptively.
And some watch repair reading material, this forum has gotten my interest.
. . . I wore it all for the last couple of days, it is brilliant. It is just strange the world time is only accurate in Sydney. I could move i guess..

Hi I am no expert but I believe this is a common problem. The inner working the mode button pushes against gets worn out, a tab of some sort, but i could be wrong. I had the same problem about ten years ago and had a citizen repair shop do the repair. Which is another story.
Hopefully some one with specific knowledge will have a better answer. I have only just started to tinker with watches.
good luck
