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.
This one is on it's way, coming back, being returned, as the buyer insists that it is a fake. Funny, Citizen is clearly labeled on the movement back, it's probably the 20th or so of these that I have restored, and I had no idea that anyone would even try to manufacture a counterfeit titanium case, along with a bogus solar powered analog/digital movement. But, you learn something new every day, in this case, it's bulls%%t.
Of all the " non vintage " Citizen's that the one that continually catches my eye, being one of the signature range it's going to last and the value is already starting to increase, congrats.
I can't find this on any web sites or in any of my citizen catalogs, I do believe it's a genuine Citizen
It's got the 2520A Citizen movement from 1972/3 its never going to be considered a diver by any stretch
but it's still an interesting fit in my collection with the very basic watch back.
Its Citizen Crystate (21 Jewels), & Crystate Deluxe (22 Jewels), the Star denotes a quality movement, produced between 1967 - 1973,
apparently both in a white face or black face.
These are the watches that lead to the development and introduction of the Citizen Chronomaster, which still use a similar case design.
to me, very cool, very collectable,
My first Citizen is on its way. Got an offer from the seller, and since the watch is from the birth year and month of my wife, plus my dad in law was wearing mostly Citizen it has a very special meaning. Like the looks of the watch, but the movement is pretty cool as well, so looking forward to receiving it in a couple weeks.
Expecting this cool color, which is unavailable here. In fact, I’m not sure any of the colors are available in the US. This is making its way, from China. It has a sapphire crystal, front and back. Movement has a gold color rotor. Size is 40 mm, so I can just pull it off, I hope….
AT6080...my wife has taken over similar "ray mears" and this is on bracelet which I prefer. Different enough but comparable acceptable replacement. Retailers image
I've been keeping my eye open for a Diamond Flake for a while. I spotted this rather unloved example on YJ. Close scrutiny of the photos persuaded me that, beneath the shagged crystal, there was a dial and hands that were in pretty good condition so put in a bid. Or two. And here it is:
Everything is in very good condition bar a few very small blemishes on the dial.
Now the quest begins for a new crystal. If any one here has any pointers as how to track one down I would be very grateful. If only there was as many Citizen documents as there are Seiko ones....
Won this one last night! White gold plated Citizen Jet AutoDater - I've been trying to pick up something with a glossy black dial for quite some time. I think this might be the first time that my max bid turned out to be juuuuust barely enough to top the other guy's hidden max - $2.37 higher!
Modern aqualand. Been wanting one for some time. Stock seems to be running low so time to snag one. Bought a factory bracelet too that comes standard on the -67L blue dial version.
I haven't had a new watch for a few months now and I'm not entirely sure why I was looking for another Citizen Quartz. I tracked this one down to Texas. After traveling the length of the States three times (Tx, Il, Tx and then to NJ). it crossed the pond.
It is in a lovely condition but not working (which I knew). I had the back off and, unfortunately, there are signs of the dreaded blue gunk so I will need to track down a working module. I can't wait to get it up and running.
I love the colour coded pushers on these old Citizens, they are a really nice detail.
