TB1 in need of a capacitor

[docbrock]

Hi everyone. I have a titanium and carbon fiber TB1 that's in need of a little TLC, probably including a new capacitor as it doesn't hold a charge very well anymore. Could you point me in the right direction?

Look in the watch subforum for my DIY on this.
If not take it to a local jeweler, its a common off-the-shelf movement that they are familiar with and can easily service that cap.

Thanks so much. I'm not much of a handyman so I'll take it to a local jeweler and see what they can do.

Get it replaced with the lithium capacitor and you will get weeks instead of days out of a full charge

Is the original capacitor not a lithium capacitor?

Awesome. Do you think I should buy it online and bring it to the jeweler or would it be better to have the jeweler get it?

I send mine to Zach with a capacitor just so he doesn't have to worry about buying one... I keep a few extras around since I seem to have a weakness for the Timebombs

Nice. This is the first new one I've needed in the life of the watch and I've had it for quite a while. It's lasted me quite a long time.
