Since inboost inaugurated the appraisals section with a Hello Kitty watch, I thought I should join in as well.
Behold, the Citizen Hello Kitty Chrono, pictured alongside the Seaserpent - and like inboost 's offering, these two both came in the same box as well.
And since dapellegrini is apparently into this sort of thing, here's a pic of Kitty's butt:
Keep in mind that this isn't your regular character watch tat - only 2000 of these JDM gems were made.
What's it worth? My daughter took it after I told her I wouldn't be wearing it again after I modeled it for her, so I need to give her a value for insurance purposes. |

I thought the last kitty was pretty great, but this is a different league.  |

Hello kitty is surprisingly collectible and especially so when it's incorporated with a well known manufacturer. Shooting from the hip here, I'd say inboost Hello Kitty watch should be around 40-50$ (being mechanical and the original sticker attached) and victor Hello Kitty Citizen would go for 150-250$ depending on the movement. Some older Citizen quartz Chronographs (mainly 35xx series) go for 100-200$ without even being a limited edition, so having a 2000 limited edition AND a Hello Kitty connection AND made by Citizen AND top of all that apparently being mens size, I would see it going 150-250$, depending on the condition and given tjat every function is working. To be honest, I didn't know such thing excisted and I would gladly pay 80-100$ for it in good, working condition. Even more if I'd be collecting them. |

Thanks trilo - I'll let her know if she decides she no longer wants it [joking].
The movement is a 0150 and all the functions work as they should.
It's actually a surprisingly nice watch, aside from being, well, not very masculine. But as I say whenever I eat quiche, I'm man enough to pull it off. |
