I found a gorgeous, hacking, hand-winding, NOS vintage Citizen automatic watch for $32 on eBay, but there might be a huge problem. Check out the video and help me out in the comments if you can.

just bought one off Etsy, 99.9% sure I got a "Mumbai special" frankenwatch but for $35, as long as it works, I'll be happy with my new fun lil watch.

@keithhudson231 3 жыл бұрын

Could be a Frankenwatch. I've read that they're all over e-Bay. Regardless, it's a gem for the price you paid. The miyota 8200 movement alone is worth that.

Yeah I think it’s a frankenwatch. I have a number of them myself

The links are not badly made, they are removable. A section in those links can be pushed out to remove the link to make the bracelet smaller.

More info. It may be a fake, but, there are a load of guys selling on eBay, who refurb the Citizen Eagle 7 watches and at least one of the guys refaces the watches. A reface is usually close to but not exactly the same. If you open a Citizen Eagle 7 that you know to be real, then compare the movement in the watch in your video, you should be able to see any obvious differences in the movement.

I forgot to include the information about the date characters. They are kanji numbers. To represent the 1st 2nd 3rd etc. days of the week.

Looks like Mandarin Chinese to me. I have a Guanqin auto from Gearbest and it has similar days of the week.

A little late and you already know that it's fake but if it has a hacking movement , it has a feature that the original don't 😂 , the original have the 8200 movement which has no hacking.

Hi, if the ballance has incabloc shock protection it's a Chinese copy of the Miyota 8000 series if it has parashock hard to describe but look at a known Miyota movement, and you'll have an idea of what your watch is.

so this is not an eagle 7 model? i'm new to these vintage citizens and my interest is being piqued by these little devils. i saw a flieger style eagle 7 and i'm not sure if it's genuine too.

Hi! Please need your advice bcs I am not an expert. Bought Citizen Eagle 7 Automatic (Rolex Datejust 36mm design) from the local watcher for $30. And it has own Citizen jubilee bracelet. Seems works fine. Good deal?

Sounds like a great deal to me if it’s a reputable seller- I’d buy one at that price

@chriskim9289 2 жыл бұрын

most likenot not a fake dial as producing a fake dial for an obscure citizen watch to be sold as a refurbished watch for 30$ wouldnt really make much sense. Alot of watches from these indian refurbished sellers are dug up from imported trash/ dumps, restored and sold. missing or unusable parts are often replaced with other scavenged parts which could be what happened with the chinese date wheel. If the dial was unusable it would just be replaced with another dial but i dont see the likeliness of an entire dial being replicated. I actually find it cool that they make a living off of recommissioning garbage that would otherwise end up in the ocean or in a landfill and using their knowledge of trade to get them back on people's wrists as actual usable watches

This is a fake citizen, no different to the $20 Rolex watches in Asia. Still a fun experiment and not a big investment.

This is definitely a fake Citizen. The movement is a dead giveaway. It does look nice, and at least you're only out 32 bucks. There's so much garbage on eBay, it's tough to sift through it all.
