The second one I found online, on a watch forum, and has a replacement bezel and bezel insert and is not for sale. The first one was sold as “junk” in Japan for USD 4.100. In all these years I searched for one each and every day. Sometimes I dreamed about it, sometimes I thought I found a lead but time after time, it was just a mind trick. It seemed that there is a certain diver made in stainless steel, Chronomaster, 500m WR, Chronometer grade. Then about two years ago a piece of information came to me. I learned not to buy only because it is a good price. I found out what I like and tried to let the other watches go. 🙂 I learned that there are fakes, aftermarket parts, interesting watches and common ones. Then as time passed I found myself over my head into buying and selling, repairing and loosing money because of my passion, reading, writing, comparing and… you know… collecting. The first watch I had as a kid was a blue Volkswagen quartz “diver”. (I write this article in 2015 February) I always loved divers and chronographs. I started collecting vintage Citizen a few years ago. People ask me where did I find it? I am going to tell you the story of finding this one. This is THE holly grail of Citizen collectors! This is one of the most sought after vintage watches! This is my dream, my so long waited one and the answer of all my intensive searches!
