We have a Seiko post running so how about a Citizen one ?

This is rare for me but I have two Citizen in the post, they may both be dead but I live in hope :) i'm pretty sure that if parts/spares where more readily available I would have a lot more because Citizen quality and model range is superb imo.

I have this citizen titanium bullhead av0080-88e on the way, this bullhead has been released this year to celebrate 50 years since Citizen released their first titanium watch in 1970.
The case differs from the recent Tsuno bullheads and is a limited edition, there are two versions this silver one and a black faced version as well.

This Citizen Calibre 2100 on it's way to the mainland, new battery, crystal, cleaned, serviced, pressure tested. The amp meter, (battery indicator), wouldn't budge, even with the new battery, and a reset. Dis-assembled the movement, as the coil, rotor and gears for the amp meter are buried in the movement. There was so much oil on those few gears that they were literally stuck face to face where they overlap. I would assume the watch left Citizen in that condition. Got it all cleaned up, and operating properly. In my opinion, this is the most overpriced, overrated, piece of s$$t that Citizen makes.

A rare early digi from 1976. Snagged it for opening bid!

That is in amazingly great condition for a LCD display watch of that genre. I just picked up this one, no rotation, but the circuit was OK, the coil was pulsing, not erotically, and it wanted to go, as most pulsing things have a tendency to do. Pulled the second hand, and the second wheel, a microscopic piece of detritus was stuck on the third wheel, jamming the works. Odd thing being that the case back had never been off of this one, so it must have dropped in there during assembly. Maybe someone was enjoying a Fritos snack on the assembly line?? But the microscopic piece of kukae wasn't orange. The plot thickens, but the watch is running fine.
