Thank you Eduardo 🙂
Happy new year Stephen, enjoy your posts very much.
thanks Pete – I’ve not done many posts lately, so I suppose I should make a resolution! 🙂
can you please check my watch for me.

Hi Bella, thanks for visiting my blog. Unfortunately I can’t help very much with quartz models unless they are early ones from before 1980. Yours has the 2820 movement which I believe was made in the 1980s – so from the first three figures in the serial number (3051554) yours was made in May 1983. 34-0286 is the model number, and ‘YP’ indicates gold coloured plating on the case.

hi thnx for your reply,
i cant find it anywhere…..is it that fake?
dont know the wrth…it is a very good looking watch.

Hi Marina – I don’t think it’s a fake, the numbers / marks all look authentic to me. I’m afraid that they are not worth much these days even in good cosmetic and working condition. Stephen
I can’t figure out where to ask about my watch. I’d like to send a few pics to you to get your opinion. Just bought a vintage citizen and want to know how original/authentic it is. Please reply.
Hi John, it’s fine to ask in any of the posts 🙂 Visitors aren’t able to post pics directly I’m afraid – so email is on the way. Stephen
