Pulled the Trigger on the Deep Blue DepthMaster Black Dial

 

 

 

I used to own an orange Depthmaster. I found that while I liked the orange dial, I didn't like the way it contrasted with the black bezel (too Halloween), so I sold it but found myself missing the amazing lume (best Superluminova I've ever had, even better than my Orient Saturation Diver's) and I love the thick sapphire crystal. So I found a "used" one. Actually, it's never been worn. After 3 days, the owner decided it was too big for him, so I got a great deal.

Hopefully this will satisfy your desire for a bigger watch. I suppose the risk is that it makes all your other watches seem small. In that case, you can sell me the CGT and Tuna.

Getting a good deal is a great feeling. A practically new watch like this----is even better than "first owner new" because of the deal. And Johnny, something tells me he's not parting with the Tuna anytime soon!

I am waiting for delivery of an old Citizen automatic that I bought from this E-Bay seller in India. It's interesting---it appears that they are taking vintage watches (including Seiko and Citizen----I've even seen an Orient) and refurbishing them. The dial colors don't appear to be original----I think they're are producing new dials and assuming quite a lot of creative liberties with the design, keeping the manufacturers name/logo but going with period incorrect colors/designs. Most of these watches have new bands, some have new crystals and as I said, the dials look new. It seems the only thing "original" is the movement and case. They claim that the movements are gone over to make sure they're in perfect working condition. Buyers receiving the watches seem to like them (based on the ratings/comments). And so far (the seller is pretty new), sale prices have been very modest. I'm very curious to see what I receive. I liked the looks of the watch----and it's a 21 jewel Citizen, so we'll see what arrives.
