For sale is my vintage citizen automatic in excellent shape. I purchased this a few months ago because I love the look of the vintage seikos and citizens, but quickly realized that it simply felt too small on my wrist. It uses the 8110 Flyback movement and as you can see in the pictures it is very clean, but the seconds counter unfortunately does not reset to zero. I tried many times to do it myself using different start/stop reset techniques but nothing worked. A watch maker could probably take care of it but I honestly don't use the chrono functions anyways. The accuracy of the watch is so-so, but it is 20-30 years old so it is to be expected. The case is 38mm wide, but the crystal and dial is only about 30mm, making it look small on my wrist. It has sweet hooded lugs and measures lug to lug 45mm. The band is about 18mm wide. It is sized but comes with extra links. The clasp is a fold over, no button release, with 7 micro adjustments. It is not signed. I just noticed that one of the little fold over things that is nearest to the lug is slightly bent. I don't want to play with it but it could easily be fixed with a needlenose plier. I've worn it less than 5 times and honestly looks brand new. The lume is non-existent due to its age though. I'd like something like $140 for the watch. I'm taking a hit on it because I bought it under the understanding that it reset to zero. Silly me.
