The Citizen Tiger XXX
This was a watch I had bought 3 years ago. I wish I’d saved the sale picture because I didn’t know what a Citizen Tiger XXX was until I had received it.
I thought the blue dial looked really cool, and I could see it was very very worn, but completely original and intact. I loved the facet crystal, and unlike the Chronometer, it is made of plexi (plastic) and not cut glass. What’s cool is the facets are on the inside of the crystal. This watch is what started me in collecting Citizen facet glass watches (more about facet glass here:http://forums.watchuseek.com/f21/citizen-8200-6500-auto-71-0474-61-6893-facet-glass-collection-service-restoration-31-jewels-967358.html)
I realised I had something pretty unique. Now I know of two watches Citizen made that are named after cats. I ask Stephen about the XXX watches and….. after a very interesting conversation, start looking for Citizen Leopards and Tigers to buy. Oh MY!
Later that night……… I google search Citizen Tiger XXX
Warning: If you google search Citizen XXX make sure your kids are not at your desk top!
I start to laugh when I get the search results. Could this be? Was I beholding some secret power only Citizen collectors knew? I had to get the restoration started to find out…..but before I do, let’s meet my first two Citizen 28,800 Leopards
