The Jet movement is very pleasing to the eye  Have you got a case back pic? Stephen |

Hi. I am also interested in the movement as it didn't last long.High wear rates killed it off. My Citizen version has a 21 Jewel Movement whilst the Swiss version (Valgines) has a 41 Jewel movement. Notice some of the winding gear is missing from the Valgines, it still works well as a handwinder. I have given up years ago my search from the rest of the movement.  Cheers Phil  |

Cheers Phil If Citizen parts are of any use to you I should have a 19J Jet rotor movement (out of 'Rookie' model) missing a few bits once it gets back from the watchmaker .. you can have it at no charge, but though at first glance although the Valgines movement looks similar it is a totally different movement really. This is the parts watch : watches.cru2.net/share.php?share=4ec3cb79782506fd5b1e6883b7c7789a |

The winding stem setting lever was broken. The stem was held in place and worked but clicked instead of being smooth. Once I removed the dial all became clear  The downside to Citizen ownership is finding the parts although I have a couple of good guys looking for me! Thanks John and Sweephand! One snapped lever.  |

Hi Tony, look what I found.....  Besides looking right (to me anyway) the seller described it as for the Jet movement. It should land within a couple of weeks. Stephen |

You're welcome Tony, happy to help keep a Super Jet running. We must thank John ('jringo') for contacting me about the broken part. He was kind enough to send me the pic so I could search far off places for a doppelgänger I couldn't quite believe I found one just a couple of hours before the auction was to end on the same day John messaged me about it!

(she's 9 years older than her owner ..) Yep - June 1965 it is. Would you want a new crystal for this one? There are three crystals listed for this model - one of which is currently for sale in Japan: page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r89297810 Stephen |

That Skin Diver is nice - and a very rare piece too. Stephen Double thanks! Your article on it made me start looking for one - I think that was about 2 years ago? 18 months? |

i would love to get a copy of that citizen's book you have.... Love these cool rotor Citizens. One is in my diver:   Not my watch, but the movement is this one:  I have the most of the Dragonfly books, including those on these Citizen watches/movements - they're in Japanese, but if there's something you want me to look up, or pictures you want me to take let me know:   |
