Only the one citizen in the collection

Ive always had a soft spot for Citizen watches (esp. the titanium models) and have gathered a few over the years
I'm not sure why but I've three 6400's
Well not strictly three 6400's as I have this one as well (but this one has got the 'Promaster' logo dial and is on a bracelet so that's different enough for me...)

Next we have two Citizen divers
Of course there has to be a 'Ray Mears' in there somewhere!
Another slightly different Ti model
My four most worn ones together
You have a lovely little selection to choose from there GMT. What is the model number of this one? Thanks.Another slightly different Ti model
No worries, it's BJ8070-51E and a very nice watch to wear - it's a proper mans watch but not too heavy with it being Ti.
I'm not sure if they're still available now or not tbh?
Thank you GMT, I will have to keep a look out for that one, it looks great.
Hi I have two Aqualand Promaster Analog Depth meter AL0004-03E 200 m dive watches with the little sub dial a six. My wife and I bought 17 years ago in Saudi when we were both keen SCUBA nuts. They have both since been sitting with our dive gear and until this post been forgotten. Can anyone advise me to who I should send these to for a service and battery change within the U.K.?
Cheers,
M
P.S. pic soon.
These I think are supposed to be service centre only replacement- personally I'd do it myself- I do like this model - very retro looking
I think these take a CR2016 - some of theses older citizen divers (especially the ani/digi's) throw a error (er) if care is not taken when changing the battery
I bought thus as a non runner and expected it to be dead( as a lot are) but sprang to life with 3 new batteries

Any ideas of a reliable Citizen service centre in the U.K. to send the watches and possible cost involved?
Cheers,

Hi.
I'm a newbie here and don't know what's allowed and what's not.
Is there a newbie section?
Anyway I'm a huge Citizen fan and wondered if it's ok to show my couple of Citi's?
K.
Morning and welcome
Photos are always appreciated on TZ
Thanks.
I'll get them out of the safe (you know, the cardboard box under the bed) and take a couple of photos.

Age before beauty. (Hope these photos work).

I hadn't realized how Citizen had a thing for orange minute hands!
Lovely little collection there krusty.
Must be...........orange is the new black.

Being new here and still trying to find my way around, is there a section for electricals or hummers?

Welcome to the forum. You can always post quartz (and particularly early quartz) onto this, current, thread:
http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.php?380404-Interesting-Quartz
Is there a significance to having Crystron on the dial; I know that I've seen that on first generation Eco-drives, for example?
TBH I've no idea.

Been wearing this one today...
PMX56-2591 (info)
A simple, well made and rugged watch. Something Citizen is very reliable at producing.
A pretty rare one:
I have only a single Citizen, the ubiquitous BM6400, and only a single extremely low grade wrist shot:
But it's the best all-round beater there is, practical, solid, reliable, easy to read, and the only thing tougher is a G-Shock. At the $100 price they go for it's extremely affordable and eminently replaceable. It's one of the last watches I'd let go of.
I like my eco drive nighthawk :)
I get as much pleasure from my 'more affordable' watches, and wear this one more than most

I'm amazed at the condition of this from (I think '85)
Very nice watches there guys. I am glad the Citizens are holding out.....just!
I do find the vintage Citizens really appealing, but the replacement ecozilla?, not sure if that one has its own nickname, below makes me want to go hunting for one.

My lovely Citizen Promaster I've had for around 15 years. Serviced at citizens in the UK. Oh and yes I dive occasionally with it.
Here's my 1971 67-5776 Parawater:
Here's another Citizen diver that you don't see very often.. 68-5372:
Ooooh! That's nice.
I fancied breaking out my Grand Touring Sport again today. I love this thing, big, bold and beautiful (my opinion, yours may vary!).
Here's my Analogue Aqualand which has seen a lot of diving action.
The depth gauge makes it a useful back-up to my dive computer.
That's a nice blue on the dial of the grand touring electorn.
A lot of Aqualand's on here, I have one myself. It's got a lot of presence in the metal.
My ebay BL5250 arrived yesterday. I always liked the look of them and decided to give one a try. Swapped out the original brown strap for this black one, and I must say that I really like the look. This one is 10 years old (serial number starts with a 7 and has the old E812 movement), but it doesn't look it at all. The only give away is the weaker than normal lume. I read a few threads around various forums about the crown being moved inadvertently but so far all has been well. If it does become an issue I will send it in for a newer E820 cal. I have pictured it here with the rest of the Citizen crew.
My one is in bits at the moment. Still waiting for some parts.
When it's finished it'll have had new battery, crystal, and all 4 gaskets renewed.
Looking forward to seeing the end results, just like new when all done.
How did you find out, and was as it much trouble, to get it apart? Where do you source the replacement parts? This could be very useful info for the brave folk among us!
Latest and only Citizen I have now:
I bought it used and knew that the watch had never had the battery replaced, I decided it needed to be done sooner or later despite the watch running well.
I prised the bezel off with a very thin steel blade, a Swiss army knife in fact, slowly working my way round so as not to damage the case. The bezel is held in place by a plastic gasket, not unlike a crystal gasket, and once I had the bezel off, I saw that the gasket was knackered. Luckily, cousins still stock it. And the battery.
The crystal was scratched and tried a 30mm sapphire but this was too big. I've now ordered a domed sapphire at 29.8mm which is the same size as the original mineral crystal. I've also done some digging and see that the crystal gasket part code is the same as for the NY0040, and although cousins don't list it for my watch, they do for the NY0040; so I've ordered a couple of those too!
Stem gaskets are from a mixed bag of assorted o-ring gaskets I already had.
Thanks for the info. If I tried to tinker with any of mine I know who to call!
My everyday watch is the Promaster "Excalibur" BN0100-51E ....................... such a lot of watch for the money.
Accurate, reliable, ratchet divers extension, decent lume, Eco-Drive. ISO certified - and still under £150 at that fine watch purveyor - Argos!
Finished
The sapphire from yokobies intended for the NY0040 fitted precisely and gives the watch a nice heft and look. The watch is running perfectly and is now on the windowsill having a charge up.
I don't have a citizen but looking at so,e yours it's got me thinking.....will be looking on the tinternet today me thinks.
