I was browsing in Atria shopping centre, looking for a place to eat when I came across a little watch shop hiding in the corner. Looks like a typical watch shop you find in very old shopping malls. Nothing interesting from the outside, but curiosity made me enter the shop to have a look see.
Something sitting in the display shelf caught my eye. WOW WOW!! Immediately, I was overwhelmed with the familiar feeling of excitement and adrenaline.
Check this baby out!
Do not be mislead by the plastic bag
Typical box. Hmm... nothing interesting so far
My first citizen!
Ta daa!!
Military styling, Camo dial, camo strap, skeleton hands, red seconds hand, how can i resist???
Called the Citizen Oxy. First time ever seeing it in real life. This range has been discontinued I believe. Not many pics of this watch on the web even.
Sticker on caseback with lots of dust.
Wrist shots
Pretty solid case
This houses a standard miyota 8200 auto movement which handwinds but does not hack.
Case is brushed SS but in has darker tone which makes it look almost like titanium.
And it has the signature citizen blue lume. Sorry no pics of this.
I had not intention to get any watch today as I just received one in the post yesterday. That's why this was so unexpected. Thankfully, it was only a minor dent on the wallet
The lady at the shop (owner I believe) was very nice too.
In my limited years of watch collecting, this is possibly my best find so far!
Thanks for looking!!
