5. Hoi Folks, maybe you can help me out here. I inherited my Father’s Watch and i just want to know a bit more about it. Like when was it build, maybe where it was build … that kind of stuff. In terms of money it’s worth nothing, that’s why it seems to be hard to find information.

   i know already it is this one http://www.vintagelcd.com/vul/item/citizen/

   But there is no real date or something else. She has the following numbers on the back:

   4-601190 Y (that number brought me here)
   50701729 (in smaller types)
   62-9154 (that was the number that brought me to the named site)

   i would appreciate all the Information i can get 🙂 I always loved the plain and simple look of the watch and it’s all i expect from a watch. a minute off now and theen does not matter to me and it’s my Fathers Watch which i will hold dear and on my wrist.

   thx in Advance, Michael

   • Hello Michael and welcome to VCW!
     Here is how you can find out when a Citizen watch was made: https://vintagecitizenwatches.com/2014/02/23/dating-a-vintage-citizen-watch/
     So without having more details I would say it is safe enough to conclude that it made in July 1975.
     Keep it in good health and always cherish it. The value (to you) it is a lot more than the money price you can get for it.

     • Hello! You can find out details about finding the manufacturing date by using the info here: https://vintagecitizenwatches.com/2014/02/23/dating-a-vintage-citizen-watch/ (it looks like April 1966 is right)
       If you can open it and post a pic of the movement I could give you more data. The movement is an important part in dating it and for other details. Unfortunately it is not a rarity and not a high value, no matter which of the two possibilities of the movement I have in mind is inside of it.

     • Hi, I found the following ‘Waterproof’, ‘M51301’, ‘anti-magnetic’, ‘unbreakable spring’ says it is an export model of the Autodater Seven ADS 51301 with a 25 jewel 410x movement. Export models usually have no model name on the dial. This is pretty rare in export form, is that it has the 410 movement inside. The watch was made in April 1966 and runs perfectly.

8. A friend gave this watch to me this week and I’m wondering if it is a recent construction of NOS parts. The caseback doesn’t match the dial, or movement, but maybe that’s all that was replaced. I also can’t find much actual information yet about this particular dress/simple watch… although I’ve been thoroughly enjoying it for the last 3 days!

   Bottom of dial text: JAPAN0200 6-162-134 SMO
   Balance bridge marked: 0201

   Anything interesting I could find out about this piece in particular?
   Thank you!

   • Hello Brad! The watch is a common Citizen. Nothing really special but it is nice. Enjoy it! Unfortunately there is no way in knowing if it was made out of parts or not. Maybe other readers of the site could give you more info.

     • Here is how to date a Vintage Citizen Watch: https://vintagecitizenwatches.com/2014/02/23/dating-a-vintage-citizen-watch/
       Based on the fact that yours is a 0200 calibre and has no serial number and on the case and dial design I would date yours at about 1965-1970.

15. Hello,

    I picked up a Citizen watch from an antique fair and would like to know more about it, I got it as it reminds me of my grandfathers watch. I worked out that the date of manufacture was November 1970/1980 but please could you confirm this. The serial number on the back is 01100314. Also, would you know how I could go about fixing the strap, there is brown staining, could polish get this off or if I was looking to replace the strap would you know where I could find a genuine replacement? Its a fish scale gold band. I have looked online but couldn’t find anything. Thanks!
