Those are REALLY stylish indeed ! I love the top one with the cyclops and the near-NOS gold finish. Looks a tad on the rose gold side too, back when it wasn't as rosey-rose as the new 2010+up revivial colors.
Congrats !

Two of my favourite watches are my NOS Jet Rookie and my 39 Jewel Super Jet. Terrible to find parts for though so always worth buying working examples. Here are my two... NOS Rookie with it's original strap/band.  My Super Jet.  |

Nice to see some Jets  Did you buy all those examples as one lot Croolis? Here are a couple of mine: Rookie on a rather worn out but original strap:  One of the early (1962) models:  And a Jet thread is not complete without a movement shot  :  Stephen |

Nice to see some Jets Did you buy all those examples as one lot Croolis? Here are a couple of mine: hello Mr. Sweephand .. they were bought as separate lots but imported together, I also have a Rookie Auto Dater that is working for a few seconds and stops.. all were reasonably inexpensive so i'm quite happy  the real culprit here is you, actually I read your great article on your website about the Citizen Jets and fell in love with how the movement looks. You bid for 1 and you end up 'winning' 6 hehe So, thanks for the new addiction, I really love your website! on an aside .. you wouldn't happen to have a junk 8100A or 8110A movement? I need the lever that goes under the start stop pusher |

Closed Auction .. not! this guy is really outrageous, he has an orange redialled one which seems to be for sale again  I can assure you all that I paid a *lot* less than these .. didn't know they were so uncommon! |

Looks like you have got a bargain or two. I don't know if I can help with the chronograph part - which lever is it exactly that you are after?:  Stephen |

Looks like you have got a bargain or two. I don't know if I can help with the chronograph part - which lever is it exactly that you are after?: Stephen hello Stephen, I think it is part 260, to explain when you press the start/stop pusher, in turn it pushes on this part. It's a steel lever with a 90 degree bend at the outer end which the pusher pushes on .. on mine, the 90 degree bit is broken off so the pusher doesn't actuate anything, other than that my movement is new! I think it's the same part exactly on 8100 and 8110 movements (mine is an 8100) cheers, Dave |

Sorry to butt in but any idea where I might be able to get any Citizen spares other than the normal sources? My Super Jet is missing a movement retaining screw which means I cannot wear it at the moment as it causes the rotor to rub on the case and not autowind.

I think part 260 is the 'fly back' lever, part 257 is the 'operation' lever (start / stop). I have a spare 257, but I think I can get hold of both. Whereabouts in the world are you? Stephen |

I don't think we can find original parts but it may be possible to find a suitable screw. Is it like this one, and have you got the steel clip?:  Stephen |
