| The Story Behind This Watch |
I was pretty excited to get this one as it was a) my first “vintage” purchase and b) my second mechanical chronograph. I knew that it was not going to be in pristine condition, the seller did a good job with his photos and description. But, also based on his text I had thought it would be in better working condition than it appears to be. The watch does work and does keep pretty good time, but the chronograph is not resetting as it should. So, minor disappointment, still happy I bought it as now I have not only my first vintage watch.
Update (19-feb-04): Still no work done on the poor Citizen. I am hoping that one day it will be a restore job that I will be able to perform. Bummer part, I lost one of the very odd pins for the bracelet! Resizing it turned out to be worse than a Rubik’s Cube so in an attempt to put it back together the way it was, I lost one of them.
