citizen 67-9020 what to look out for ?

I've started looking into Citizen 67-9020 bullheads as I want to buy one. What are things to look out for ? There seems to be a lot of fakes and it's very hard to know where to even start when 95% of them are franken watches. I know a couple of things, such as looking for bottom-of-case triangles , brushed cases, etc but the market seems very overwhelming compared to a 67-9011, which seems to be much more original for most of them.

SLR Shroud Replacement Project from myself - 8F35 0019

I recently got a seiko SLR001, model number 8F35-0019. But like almost every other owner, it comes without the "fragile" protector. After reading these two interesting posts here, SLR Shroud Replacement Project - 8f35 I now have two SLR001 8f35 divers (8f35 diver post to come). They (should) feature a one-part partial shroud made from a black rubbery plasticy material that allowed it to be flexed around the lugs before being retained by a set of screws (watch and shroud images poached from web). However... www.thewatchsite.com SLR Shroud Project - Version 1 So a couple of you may have wondered, what happened to his great SLR Shroud crusade? http://www.thewatchsite.com/21-japanese-watch-discussion-forum/99506-slr-shroud-replacement-project-8f35.html .

Uncle Seiko Order! ^L^

. It figures that the order you place last arrives first, right? 🤣 Some straps, silicone and leather. It is the upper "Chestnut" colored leather strap I was focused on. The order was about that strap along with Uncle's silicone diver-strap offerings, which were too nice to ignore. (The poor Natural brown was just a color back-up.) Here is... Uncle Seiko Order! ^L^

A watch for my better half

My wife really likes my Alpinist SPB121. She however does not care for the date magnifier. I’ve begun shopping for an Alpinist for her, which I am very excited to be doing. I’m looking on eBay at some SARB017’s that are out for bid and some of the newest versions, the SBDC211’s(?) that are being sold for just short of 1k. I would love any advice you guys have on the older SARB versions. And if I purchase one of the newer ones, how hard is it to remove the cyclops? Also, anyone on here have...

Casio A911A-G92 Arnie

Can someone point in the right direction about the above watch. It has a gold face and it is marked Japan after the ref #. It's old maybe 1970s or early 80's. I think it takes a battery so not running. Thanks need to move it.

Fleamarket grabs from Southern France Aug ‘26

I’ve had some interesting finds over the past years from flea markets in the Var region of southern France. This year it has been a bit dry although my sister spotted a very pretty 1940s Junghans alarm clock: Consequently, I extended my range and visited Cannes for its weekend fleamarket. Of course the selection was way more posh than in the countryside, and so were the price tags. Watches were plentiful, in particular French vintage - which is an area I...
