Ah cheers, that makes sense I guess... Not sure about the capacitor - it's keeping good time so far but the second hand 'ticks' two seconds, then pauses for one, the 'ticks' two again... Pressing the button on the side used to make the second hand skim round 30seconds to indicate it was fully charged - now nothing...
Now that I've spent the day reading up on watches I'd quite like to get my hands on an SKX007... Does anyone have one in very good condition they'd like to sell?
Cheers,
Matt

I've spent a long while forcibly appropriating my dad's Seiko Arctura, it will cost £12-20 for the capacitor. Gonna try sort that this week. Need to buy a new strap as I don't want to cut down the rubber to fit me on the hen's teeth original strap.
Probably yours needs the replacement capacitor too, and a quick search says it's this one:

Get an SKX007 regardless. Cheap as chips and wears quite small.

Is it new enough that the kinetic capacitor is okay? Keeping time well?
The red/blue has to do with time at depth. 15 mins is the time at the max depth. Normally you do your deepest dive first. On mobile at the moment but there is a tradition set about this stuff on dials (same for monodirectional bezel design). Will try find the link.
