Thanks yes bit of a bargain.

@@space99dude 😂 It looks amazing! I thought $1000 from the look at the first milliglance. Where are great watch designers now?

Yes I agree very interesting case shape and the crystal that's faceted with the strap which reflects the hexagonal style of the case. Although it is an inexpensive Swiss part Hong Kong assembled watch. So not of great value be certainly an interest in looking watch.

@@vipeton.8927 Thanks

@@MrKitzelman Thanks for the advice 👍

I wanted to let you know that I modded a Pagani Design PD 1758 GMT, with a blue map dial and a bezel insert that had cities and tiny illegible numbers too small for these senior eyes. I tried nontoxic golf grip solvent a la Marc, didn’t work, then non-acetone nail polish remover, ditto. Finally, I let it sit overnight in 91% isopropyl alcohol. I was able to move it a bit, then donned nitrile gloves which were grippy and it rotated off. The only wrinkle was that I installed the adhesive ring in the bezel channel rather than onto the insert. I sent you an email of the finished mod, hope you get it.

@@MrKitzelman glad you managed to swap your bezel out.

@@space99dude wow. very impressive, thank you

Very nice. Enjoy

Thanks I swapped bezel to ceramic batman but still kept the alloy pepsi

@@MettaLovingKindness Thanks 👍

@@avgoustinos you will be surprised people like this stuff. Box papers even if a cheaper watch. The advert said ceramic. But I had a feeling it was going to be aluminium . Thanks for watching.

I didn't know that although I've had the crown pulled on my Seiko for a couple of years and it's been fine so far saves the battery. Watches usually have a plastic tab on them when they are new to stop the crown being pressed in to save the battery before purchase. But I hear what you're saying .. I don't have an ultrasonic although I find warm water with some washing-up liquid pretty much gets all the dirt out especially if you use a toothbrush to get in between the links.. and it is amazing how much dirt comes out these old straps.

You probably got some dirt stuck in there. You could try a little spray of WD-40 around the bezel edge give it a good turn maybe that will lubricate it up .

Thanks. There's many watches I bid on but don't win but occasionally I get lucky

Looks like fake ,the real para water has different dial

@@seanwidezki it's definitely not a fake.nobody is faking old citizens.

@@space99dude Is the seller and watch shipped from India ?

@@seanwidezki no it's from UK. Definitely legitimate. The movement is spot on everything everything is correct and good quality. There's many pictures of this dial on Google. They are not worth a fortune anyway.. the early ones were called Parawater then they were stamped water resistant. So this is an early one.. if you watch the video you can see the movement is superb. Not some Indian junk.

That's really interesting thanks for the information.. and thanks for watching.

As you can see I still have the original movement. But the Watch was just sitting in my watch collection it's so much nicer to be able to actually wear it which I really enjoying. Yes the date window isn't exactly spot on but that's a minor inconvenience the Watch still looks great. I don't think most people would even notice unless you look very closely. So I'm happy I did mine because now it's a watch I can wear on occasion. And I do like to wear my vintage watches not just keep them in their cases all the time. Thanks for watching .

That's a very philosophical question. All I can say is mine is still working but I do not wear it that often. So I couldn't say with any degree of certainty how long it will last. However for such a low price it's not too much of a gamble. Depending on your finances of course. I would always recommend spending more money to buy something like a Seiko Invicta or Casio etc because that will be better quality and last much longer more than likely. Thanks for watching. Good luck if you do decide to buy the watch. I'm just remember the bracelet is too large for many people even after the links have been taken out. I had to resort to physically bending the links apart to remove additional links that were welded.

There are movements on eBay. Mioyta www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176339211759?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=6ny-qbfutfe&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=5pai8onETJa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@HungryFor_Games My local jewellers watch guy fitted it. I don't know what the movement is. Good luck hopefully you will find the correct size .

@@JS-rx6uy My local jewellers watch guy fitted it. I don't know what the movement is. Good luck hopefully you will find the correct size .

Ahh thanks for that. So what he said about missing parts is correct. Also interesting to know the make of the new movement. 👍

@@ForestWoodworks Thanks yes it's a good fit. Really pleased. Thanks for watching.

Thank you yes I think it was worth the money. It's a shame the crown isn't on straight but I don't want to mess with it it's doing the job. If I had the proper tools I could have probably attempted it myself with the right movement. But I still think it was worth the investment because a working watch is better than a non-working one even if it's got an aftermarket movement. And I really like it I've enjoyed wearing it a couple of times now and I will definitely wear it in the future. Although maybe just for evenings out because I don't want to put any more wear on that gold plating.

@@PatJamesRicketts that's really interesting. Amazing that is still going. Sounds like you're going to keep it going for many more years. I think you are right I think this is a 1940s watch. Possibly military. I've not heard of the Roman brand. There were so many good quality micro brands around at that time that aren't around anymore. Thanks for watching.

@@space99dude No problem, thank you for sharing!

@@barryfleischer5167 I'm not sure. They were designed to be non serviceable I believe. This one is still running perfectly. Hope you track one down.

@@barryfleischer5167 😂 yes those spring bars definitely have some life left in them. I think you are right, late 40s as so similar to my Tudor Oyster 1947 . It's the screw down case back that I thought was maybe later. They do have a great look. Glad I inspired you to get yours serviced. Thanks for watching.

This has bad very deep drone. Think the back box may have had hole punched making it unbearable.

@@tytyyttytyty Thanks yes really like it. Working perfectly. Just needed a bit of love .

@@paulwilson3154 thanks I'm wearing it now and it's keeping very good time. It worked all night off the wrist. Really like it. Definitely keeping this one. Thanks for watching

@@aamirbehlim7687 watch my full video you will see this watch looks a lot better now and it's working.

@@TheGhostOfOldham yes plating is definitely pitted. Still looking pretty cool though. Shows its age. Thanks for watching.

Unfortunately all this green was gunk from the previous owner. It all came off very easily. If you watch my video you will see the result it's nice and clean looking now and working. 😃 Thanks for watching

​@@space99dudeJust watched the full vid, still believe it's oxidation but it did clean up well! 👌Nice job!

@@allenmoore7735 thanks so much for your feedback really appreciated. I did this video because I found some of the other videos a little hard to follow hopefully I've made it straightforward. Thanks for watching

@@space99dude well it’s great dude, I totally agree the others were babble. Your video is golden.

@@G.J.G.P. Thanks for the advice. I guessed as much. Hopefully these will stay put. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the information. Hopefully this new one will last for a few years I'm going to keep the old one for now as a spare in case I need it.

@@DiegoFavonio that's the movement in the Watch ?

@@space99dude yes ,it's a good basic movement

@@space99dude I have one of this watch , on the back case of my watch you can learn 70's US ARMY

That's great. Didn't know they were a Seiko movement.
