Citizen 51-2273 quick refresh

[Paul]

Just received this Citizen diver today, I picked it up last week with an offer on eBay. The seller had 0 feedback but was a local seller and was easily to deal with.
I could see the dial was in great condition and the case back had not been phuked with no gouging or tool scratches like you usually see on most of these vintage divers.
Disassembled and put the case etc through the ultrasonic cleaner, fitted a new crystal, bezel and seals and the result looks pretty good.

I've also been wanting one of these for a while but the right one hasn't shown up. That is a lovely one!

Thanks for the kind words, I’m really happy with this one.
I still need to service the movement it’s not bad though.

Yowza! The dial and hands on that are really nice! Most you come across are nowhere nears as clean.

Mov’t def needs service though.

I love the hands and hour markers on these.  Own way too many, and loaded up on replacement crystals.

how did you get the bezel, would you have the link?

I'm looking for and can't find
