Good morning! I am actually posting to seek advice from the Oklahoma Shooters residential watch fetishists.... I need a battery changed in a Seiko SGEC68 and would like to have an older Citizen Quartz examined to see if it is possible to get it running again without spending a small fortune.... I live in the Moore-Norman South OKC area and any recommendations and or advice will be greatly appreciated......

Marlin MK4 arrived today.

For what I paid, I think it's a W. AR coating is very well done. Certain angles you can't tell there is a crystal. Bezel lines up well, firm and very little play at all. I was able to get a decent fit for now with removing two links and all the micro adjust taken out. I'm hot, just ate after a work out, so we will see in the morning how it fits.

Screw down crown has some wobble fully extended, but we all do at this age right? Hands, date wheel all feel like they engage well. Color matches the bezel well too. Little dab of red on the seconds hand. Good lume too.

It wears smaller than I thought it would.

If @thor447 is available, I'd use him, don't send a watch to CNS, their answer, it doesn't work right, let's fill it with oil (they butchered a watch of mine, left loose screws inside of it to). Talk to Sabine if Thor won't. Sabine runs "A Better Time Services" at 8109 S Western Ave # L, Oklahoma City, OK 73139. She works with another gentleman, and they do great work. She is authorized to work on Citizen watches or can send them off. That shop does battery changes as you wait, and they get some nice watches going through there for sale. I may use CNS for battery changes, but never again for repair. If @thor447 fixes your watch, an added bonus is you may get a YouTube video.
