Bought a "new" watch, Vintage Citizen Bullhead Automatic Chronograph

Recommended Posts

KeNnY

Hello all,

 

so I needed my fix again, I felt the urge, of owning some genuine vintage watch.

 

And searched, looked, and found this amazing Citizen Bullhead from 1978. It runs with Automatic Chronograph movement.

 

 

Enjoyed the feeling of pleasure from buying a new watch :lol:

 

now just again wait to be delivered on my wrist.

Nice. Movement looks good relative to some of the vintage Seikos that are currently offered out there.

 

I've been looking too and the prices on bullhead Seiko 6138s is getting CCCRRRAAAZZZZYYYY.

 

I'm thinking now is a good time to buy those Citizens, as they're probably going to see some overflow demand soon.

Thank you and I agree !

 

I was going to buy Seiko and I was like "say whaaaaaaaaaaat?" 1000 USD is much lol.

 

But then I saw these citizen, and they look amazing for the price, and automatic chrono movement.

 

had to get one :)

Great find Kenny.

 

These are built like a tank, with a retro, modern twist. (If that makes any sense.)

 

Enjoy and wear in good health mate. :)

Wow Matej, that sure is a beauty! I've checked the links from ebay and there's something I don't quite understand in the first one where the seller is saying that the crystal and the dial are "replacement". What does that mean? Anything else that we need to be careful about when buying these?

Thank you Aleš ! :)

 

yeah as these are 40 years old watches, most of them had patina on the dial and hands, so they replaced them. So I would recommend getting the original dial and hands, they look better and they are better quality :) yeah best to read description :) also best to get serviced movements, as it is hard to find parts for these also,
