Hey all
As you might know I have a very weak spot for the Citizen Crystron watches and Citizen LC watches of the 1970's/early 80's in general.
This one has been on my wish list for some time. Its rarely offered, but recently I was able to purchase this sample from a collector in the UK
I polished the crystal, and had to replace the movement with another similar one (the original movement had a faulty display and some other issues)
The Citizen Crystron 50-3037 of 1975 en 1976 (this sample is 1976). A bit awkward is that this watch is the exact model pictured on the DWL (same serial number)
Its a small world ..
Its fully original, although some brushed parts were polished in the past. I decided to keep it this way as i am not able to refurbish the top to a same correct brush due to its glued crystal
