Nice one.

Someone posted about getting this done professionally but, as I had the parts waiting, I thought I'd do a DIY step-by-step.
A few general thoughts:
-It's straightforward but fiddly. Probably not the first thing you want to try.
-As noted elsewhere, the slots on the screws are very, very narrow so if you don't have the tools you won't get far.
So...
All ready - part was about a tenner on eBay.
Back off.
Rotor removed.
Retainer removed to reveal plastic insulator.
Insulator off.
Capacitor out.
You then, obviously, put the new capacitor in and reverse the process. This is, obviously, MUCH harder. The screws are tiny, the insulator bit has a life of its own and the retainer has a slightly sprung 'leg' that requires a third hand or a lot of patience.
Anyway, it worked and it's all back together and showing a full charge.
Phew.

Nice work! Always a worry that it will work afterwards.... big savings over a jewellers

Thanks. It worked out fine although it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.
Having said that, and touch wood, of the five watches I've had apart to regulate/repair, four are still running strong.
Sod's law dictated that it was my mother in law's (tiny) movement replacement project that failed after hours of agony.
