Any Old Citizen Aqualand owners ?

[Nemo]

i am thinking of buying a true blue 1st gen aqualand.

what are the characteristics i should look out for to ensure i got the real mccoy?


anyone having problems with the lcd? that is my biggest fear...


:thanks

Hi, zero problem with the LCD or the functions or the watch case...
My main consern was the rubber band which hardly could pass the 20 monthes before to chip and brake.

cheers

PS here are some pictures with my 10 years old Waterborne australian band... very solid and very confortable to wear.

Nice watch!

I read your signature that this is a 1986 model. Do you have a casback pic and also a pic of the dial to show what is written at 6 oclock?

Just need some guidance so that i can compare to the piece in the shop i am thinkin of buyin.

:thanks

looks like the most obvious difference between new Aqualand and the older ones is that the new one has a lume above the lcd and the old ones do not?

Here's a shot of the caseback on my old C023, and you're correct in that the re-issued models have lume above the lcd screen where as the older one's don't



I don't have a good enough picture of the dial at 6'oclock. I'll take better one's tomorrow

Hey motivator,

What is the watch on the top right in this photo? I like the sawtooth bezel and case shape?

And I also made many a trip to the quarterdeck in my time. There were just too many people in my platoon who needed some extra G2 in their brain housing group. I swear every DI must be a comedian, because I always found their banter hilarious.

Thers's one on the sales forum right now for $140 obo...seems like a good deal!

Shhhhhh....I'm thinking about pulling it. I'm just so in love with it!

That's a zodiac super sea wolf if I'm not mistaken. Made in the 70's I believe, and are now discontinued.

I am both old and own a Citizen Aqualand.

Bought this one new in the late 80s. Was my everyday watch for many years. What a dive watch should look like IMHO. Ill never wear another watch as many hour as I have worn this one. Used to be accused of wearing a grandfathers clock on my wrist as it was considered so huge, a laugh today.



Its on a black Kevlar strap with gold/brass buckle now since the above pic and looks even better.
I still wear it every other day to the Gym.

I have an original bracelet in good shape for it also but the gold trim is highly worn. Could be polished out to all silver and probably look pretty good but not on a black watch.



BTW, LCD is still sharp as you can see, lume is pretty good also but not long lasting.
