- ***WITHDRAWN*** - VINTAGE MAY 1990-MADE QUARTZ-ANALOG CITIZEN PROMASTER AQUALAND (C023-088069Y) - An absolute collectible classic that I purchased more than 30 years ago. At one time, I owned 3 of these and they were my favorite watches to wear. This is the last one I have to move on. I have worn this particular Aqualand some, but it has never been abused in any way. I have kept it in superb condition given its age and occasional wear; always stored in a watch case in my safe. I wore it on the original strap for a while and then later replaced it with another black rubber dive strap (included) for a period of time. I just changed it out for a new and unworn Citizen Aqualand strap that I have owned for 15+ years. I also just replaced both the gasket and batteries (see pics... three brand new Renata 371 batteries... they came in a strip of 5, so I am including the remaining 2). The watch functions precisely as it should and is remarkably clean for its age... both inside and out (see pics), and the alarm spring is in place as it should be (see pic). The crystal and dial are both clear and in superb condition with few marks from wear, and the lume still works, but is obviously old and dim at this point. NOTE: If you are actually intending to use the watch for diving, I would suggest getting it hydrostatic/wet-pressure and calibration-tested at a jeweler who has that equipment. I obviously do not have that equipment and anytime you open up a dive watch, this test should be accomplished before using it for actual open-sea diving. What you see is what you will receive, including the unworn aftermarket 24mm gold and silver-tone bracelet with curved end-pieces. I do not have the original packaging. BTW, this watch looks amazing on a 24mm safety-orange ISO polyurethane dive strap that matches the minute hand... it just pops, and sorry I don't have one to include. S/N 0050328 (May 1990)

- $130 - ORIENT MAKO XL 44MM AUTOMATIC DIVER (FEM75001BR) - I believe I bought this watch back in 2018ish. I have worn it sparingly on a rubber dive strap and only a couple times on the bracelet. It is wonderful on the wrist and the case and bezel finish, performance, overall look, and bracelet FAR exceed its price point. Truly an underrated gem. It runs perfectly and is a reliable automatic with decent lume. The bracelet has just a couple marks but the clasp is about as clean as it gets for a worn watch. It comes with its original Orient box, paperwork, hang tag, extra link and box sleeve. This watch will also come with a new and unworn black 22mm polyurethane strap with spring bars.

Thanks for looking, and have a great week!
Rob
