Vintage Citizen Watch Restorations

[sweephand]

Kind of further to the post the other day of a video showing watch restoration, you may be interested in a page on my blog showing work on two Citizen pieces. I've just added the second report on an Alarm Date - no videos but lots of pics

Brian pulls miracles with Citizens!

Amazing work....I've never even heard of a Citizen V2 but it is certainly a looker. (scampers off the Ebay)

Excellent restorations as always. That V2 looks amazing!

That's hot. A V2 custom is on my want list. Has to be a "blackie" though.

That was a very interesting read, I liked that

I had a V2 Custom Blackie and stupidly sold it, I often wonder about the various auto winding schemes Citizen and various manufactures have come up with and the unnecessary complexity compared to Seiko's Magic lever set up.

One of my favourite chronos the black dial version. Am still to do the autodater you kindly found me the part for.

Great write up!
