Nice watch Ritchie, I have one I bought in 1978 with a brown dial, I got it for my dad however he has now past away and it has come back to me ❤
Thanks Andy, sorry to hear that. I've got another two, a triple gold and a smaller 35mm one from the 70s I think, going by the style, that's seen better days.

Yeah, age brings damage, my dads has a big scratch on the glass and he has also took the original bracelet off and fitted an expander!
Anyway it’s my dads and always will be, i have the box, instructions and the bracelet sizing paper tool!
They're on the verge of addictive these older Citizen aren't they!
Triple gold sounds very nice.
👍🍻
They are. But they're not as cheap as they used to be and there's also a huge number of Bombay special ones. Although they're fairly easy to spot, the citizen logo is usually printed on these and the 7 logo should be in red.

Awesome watch. Any advice on picking one up online? I’m scared of most of the refurbished offerings out there
Don't buy from India😂. The citizen logo, the eagle logo and the markers should all be applied rather than printed. The 7 on the logo should be in a red background. The printing of Automatic on the Franken watches is usually in a much larger font. If the dial color is a garish red, green, blue, orange, pink etc it's most likely a Franken. Japan Made on the dial is another dead giveaway.

Reminded me of this long forgotten Britpop classic.
Could've sworn it's dark blue 😀 Regardless, nice watch!

First time hearing this song. I like it!
Gorgeous. I have the white dial version of this on the jubilee and I like it a lot. Inevitable I'm going to have to get a black dial too 🙂

I'd like to get a white or silver dial version. I've also got a triple gold version but with a fluted bezel.
Citizenhood :D
A classy look Ritchie, nice!
Thanks Tony, it's a solid alternative to a Seiko 5.

I hate expanding bracelets, they never fit me. My wrists are too skinny😂

Yes, cheers. Good shout though thank you.
Prices are only going one way aren't they 💸

Beautiful! It does look a little blue in the picture

That blue hits just right. I really like this piece!
