Sometimes a Seiko Kinetic will run well but then stop unexpectedly.
Loosen the right "wing" of the capacitor, and check to see if the tiny gold tab it must rest on is positioned correctly.
If the tip of the right hand wing is not pointed at and touching that tab,
the current will not flow and the watch will not run.
The othen wing has a small square hole in the black plastic (shown as the
point of the rightward arrow), which aids in fixing the conductor in exactly the right position.
If the leftward wing has dislodged it is possible the right wing is pulled from its
contact with that little gold colored tab. (Pointed at by the downward Arrow)
