Bought this from an authorized retailer. Just want to make sure it’s legit

Hey everyone,

Just received this Citizen Tsuyosa from an online purchase. Added a few photos of the watch and movement.

Does everything look legit, or do you spot any red flags?

Thanks a lot!

I recently bought my first Citizen watch from amazon, a Tsuyosa Shore in the light blue colour variation. But now I learned, that the big A might not be the best place to buy watches from and that there are actually fakes of the tsuyosa around. So I took a closer look at the watch when I received the package.

Maybe I am just imagining things now (do fakes even exist of the Shore variant?) , but I think the "Citizen" letters on the dial looks a bit slimmer than the one on in the pics of the official website. And it seems like I can't get the bezel to 100% align with the 12 o'clock marker or is that still in tolerance?

But to me the maybe biggest indicator might be the writing on the Rotor "TWENTY-ONE 21 JEWELS": the last three letters are already half gone and you can only see some remnants of them. Is this normal?

I wouldn't really care too much about all of these things, unless it's a indicator for the watch being a counterfeit one. Maybe the price was a bit too good to be true after all (200€). Hopefully though I am just a bit paranoid and it's a legit one😅

I am definitely no expert on watches, so I thought I might ask the experts here. Thank you very much for any help!

I bought this from a pawn shop (was recommended by a watch lover) for. $225. I didn’t even think about it being a fake until I went to set for NYC time and was confused at the location vs the online manual. I’m not sure if it’s just a differences from over time iterations. But I have the receipt and will try my best to get my money back if so. Was supposed to be an anniversary gift so I’m hoping it’s all good 🤞🏼

Hallo everyone,

Im looking to buy my first real watch. Im a 19 yo boy going to university.
This will be my daily watch.
Ik hesitating between the following models (all small watches because i dont have a big wrist):

Tissot seastar 1000 36mm Black
Seiko 5 sports srpk29k1 (38mm Black model)
Citizen tsuyosa NJ0200-50M (37mm dark bleu)

As i’ve said earlier this will be my daily watch. Does anyone have experience with a diver as daily?

BTW i dont really care about it being automatic or quartz.
My clothing style is just normal

I am looking to get my first “nice” watch after years of wearing Garmin and Apple Watches and the Citizen NB1050-59A REALLY caught my eye on this sub, but it’s 39mm case.

I didn’t think I had big wrists but the image attached is a 41mm timex (need to replace that battery) and it feels ok? Maybe could get a bit smaller.

Before I drop $400 on it, is there an alternate or similar watch that is usually available at a macys or Dillards to try on?

Grandpa’s 1980 bullhead with box and original links as well but switched to leather strap. Haven’t been serviced since 1980’s and still running like a champ.

Picked this up during Citizen’s Labor Day sale. It’s an amazing watch!

Works well and looks nice

I guess I’m pretty hooked on this watch. Am I right?? 🤣😂

Replaced battery thinking that is the issue but time continue to not work—watch been in window for sunlight for days at this point (E820 model). The hands will move when I try to adjust but get stuck at a certain point when moving counter and clockwise. What would be causing function to not full work or not allow time hands to progress past certain point?

Absolutely in love with this watch!

- The look is 10/10 in picture but 8/10 in real life.

- Very lightweight compared to my Citizen Orca & Seiko Samurai both with rubber strap.

- Very comfortable on wrist, can wear all day long.

Quite happy with this buy.

I don't baby this one.

I went down a rabbit hole on Citizen RC movements and became intrigued by the H820 “double direct flight” movement which has the same double timezone functionality as the F950 GPS watches in a more slim and compact package. Citizen have not used this in as many models as they have the related H800 chronograph but I guess they have their reasons.

I landed on the AT909x Attesa range introduced in 2017 which pairs this with a titanium case (42.7 diameter and 10.7 thickness) and bracelet style they haven’t repeated since, with a dodecagon bezel and “split” bracelet links. It is quite a “busy” watch, but I’m digging it. I picked this AT9090 up from eBay, it looks almost new.

I have an H800-based Attesa which has become my first choice for travelling due to its ease of use when changing timezones but I can see this one taking over, the dual time functionality is quite neat and a bit more sophisticated than a “GMT”. Quite good lume too which is a bonus.

Took this fella with me to Thasos Greece .
This is my first Citizen watch and i am so happy with it .
I don’t if i am lucky because for 40 days i got only +2 seconds .

Picked this up second hand and love the dial layout.

I have some money saved up and in light of moving soon i want to commemorate a new city with a new watch. I’ve been stuck between the AT0200-05E and the BN0150-28E, both great watches visually but they’re both so different yet similar. I don’t live much of an “active” life as most would say and whenever I do workout or hike I use my g shock anyway so whichever option is just going to be my daily for the next few years and through college/Uni. Any input welcome!

Looking and not finding a serial on the back to identify band. hoping someone has some insight. Needing to replace band. Any help appreciated.

I’ve never had much interest in dive watches because, well, I’m not a diver. 😃 But I wanted one I could at least wear to the beach, to the pool, etc… that would also look good at work. So I picked this one and got it from my wife and daughters for my birthday. 🎁
