This watch is mint as far as I can tell, I bought new but do not have the original receipt, only worn a few times, to be totally safe and accurate I would officially describe it as near mint. The strap has never been worn or sized, it is perfect apart from a tiny rub on the bottom of the clasp which must of happened in the box somehow. There are zero scratches and crystal is perfect.

The watch has zero signs of use. Very sad to see this one go but I need the money. This is the best quality watch I have owned, it is outstanding, holds up against watches five times it's original £1,300 retail, the finishing is superb, the double AR coating is the best of any watch I have seen, in some lights at some angle it disappears.

It is also very accurate, apparently the Citizen 9012 is an in house custom version of the trusty Miyota 9015 which I read somewhere is factory regulated in two positions. I can well believe this as when I measured it I was getting an average of +1.3s / day measured over several days, when last measured it was well within COSC.

The watch comes with a superb Steve Lambert custom baseball strap (Steveostraps) which would cost you in excess of £70 on it's own (itself a bargain) Steve is a gentleman and lives near me here in Dorking, I have a number of his straps and watch wallets and actually bought the strap before I got the watch 😆 I could try and sell it separately but it wouldn't be right, these two are made for each other.

It's a very pretty watch, there are a bunch of great reviews out there which are extremely positive, this doesn't look or feel like a typical Japanese watch, bar maybe a Grand Seiko. I think the Omega Ploprof-style crown guard looks cool, it is certainly machined to extremely fine tolerances.

Any questions, please ask, I have great feedback on here and have previously sold watchs to all over the world, however, for now, to keep things simple, I am initially offering this as collection from Dorking, Surrey RH4 2AW or postage to the UK. These are very rare now and this is as close to brand new as you will find. According to my friend posting to Europe from the UK is a disaster so I will NOT post to Europe, but for anyone in CONUS, if you are interested, please contact me as if there is no UK interest I would consider CONUS.

I always try to be as accurate as possible, please double check the technical information incase of any errors, also I apologise for not the best quality photos, if you would like extra photos from any angles, please ask. Please note: Everything I sell I do so in a clean and great condition however, with this watch being so close to mint I am mindful of any cleaning I do accidentally creating an issue! Therefore I thought it best to leave it and photograph it as is, I hope that makes sense. Best of luck, Toby.

PS PLEASE ASK FOR EXTRA PHOTOS, TEN IS NOT ENOUGH! ALSO NOTE THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES ON THIS WATCH THAT IS JUST FLUFF FIBRES
