Hello, everyone! Looking forward to chatting with you all. While I've collected a variety of watches for many years, I've more recently returned to my bread and butter: vintage Citizen watches. There's a lot of homework involved with these pieces, so I hope to both learn and share what I've learned.

Welcome!
Share some photos of your watches when you have a moment. The easiest way is to setup an Imgur account - upload there, then copy the BBCode from there and paste it in your posts here.

Hey welcome MyNameIsVigil! I'm pretty fond of Citizen myself and love all of their creative ways they try to put a leg up on Seiko. I'm looking forward to seeing what you've collected, so be sure to post in our WRUW threads of the day and show off some of those Citizens!

Here's my most recent pickup, oddly enough from a local meetup. It's rare that I find something good locally. It's running a bit fast in my early testing, so I'll have to do a bit of regulation when I get some free time.

Oh wow that is awesome! I just rescued a 68-5372 you can read about here if you have a few moment (hours  ) to wade through it. |

Interesting that dial is marked P-JAPAN-P - like the T-SWISS-T, only here I suppose that is Promethium instead of Tritium.
What's the year on that one?
