Just picked up a Citizen

Post by Marjak » Wed Mar 04, 2015 9:58 pm

..and it arrived about 5 minutes ago. Just strapped it on for a pic..but will at home put a nicer strap (and not worn by others..) on it. I am quite pleased with this 1969 Parawater, compressor style inspired watch, not in the least due to it's very wearable 44mm size on my 7.5" wrist. I am deliberating whether I shall clean and possibly relume the hands as a reluming kit is on it's way to me for another watch with damaged hands. Here is a wrist-shot:

Cool watch all most bought a blue dial one a few months ago just because it's different than most vintage citizen watches since there few of them on the market.
