A couple years ago I picked up this watch at auction..
The more astute Citizen enthusiasts amongst you may recognise it as the Citizen turd sandwich.. Cobbled together with a mixture of parts.
But the case, Bezel etc I new at a glance belonged to the Citizen Dandy Seven Diver.. What is that you say? Well simply put it is colourful and extremely rare I have only seen a handful come up for sale in the past few years..
Now two weeks ago I come upon another of these mixed up mashed up specials and this time all the goods were on the inside... What would be the odds of a Dandy Seven filling? I'm still struggling to comprehend how it could have come about twice..
Aside from a little lume darkening it is very very good .. The orange is still orange and not faded yellow as is sometimes what happens with the dials on these.. and a bonus the seller claims it has just had an overhaul.. Should be good for a bit..
So I swapped them out.. I'm sure you didn't see that coming.. But I was peckish so first I made another sandwich..
Finally I finished off with the diver....
It's a great result...I think except for one or two NOS examples I have seen floating about the net this would have to be the next best and all at a fraction of the cost..
One day I will track down the correct bracelet but for now I think it's pretty sweet.
