Hi All, Have an incoming PAF Citizen Divers that is apparently from the 1970's (will post pictures once I have it). Google search states Pakistan Air Force for the model of watch and Wikipedia makes reference to the 'Pakistan Armed Forces'. Got me thinking why would a divers watch be issued to the Air Force? Some research listed a number of ebay sales that referred to the watch as being issued.

Seiko appears to get all the love when it arrives to vintage Japanese dive reproduction watches, but Resident was furthermore producing some best notch tool divers in the 1970's. One of their nearly all well-known divers with collectors today is usually the now classic model 52-0110. Made in the late 1970'h, the Citizen 52-0110 has been similar in many aspects to its Séiko counterparts, the 6105 and 6309 divers.
While the Seiko had some fairly radical situation design components, the Resident is even more classically designed. The large, solid stainless metal case measures a healthful 40mmeters wide by simply over 46mm lengthy and almost 14mmichael thick. Huge, right lugs established at 20mm wide provide it a durable sense on the arm. The large crown is definitely at 3 o'clock, and screws down for exceptional water resistance. One wonderful feature of the overhead and pipe mess down program can be that the threads are large, making it more tough to unintentionally cross line it and damage it.
The dial can be a beautiful and practical matte dark, with square raised chrome hour guns that are usually packed with a actually sweet gentle green lume. The dial is very identical to the Seiko 6105 dials, except that thé 12 o'clock marker is a large rectangle instead than the safeguard form of the Seiko. Signed below the 12 with a elevated steel “Citizen” logo design and a printéd “Automatic”. It can be also authorized with a printed “21 Jewels, Drinking water Resistant, 150m” above the 6 o'clock gun. There can be a date only screen at 3 u'clock with a raised chrome framework around it, with a little lume filled section just to the ideal of the windowpane.
There is certainly a variant of the call with no lume filled area by the time windowpane, and both are reputable. To my knowledge, there are usually no reproduction dials made for this model, unlike their Séiko counterparts fór which there will be a plethora of aftermarket knobs. The fingers are usually large and lume filled up. The hour hand is certainly the common ‘Mercedes' design, and the minute hand will be a directed sword style. Personally I'm not really a huge lover of the ‘Mercedes' hour hand, but clearly it has been popular at the period and it definitely provides the look-alike watch a function that distinguishés it from thé Seiko 6105. The 2nd hand offers a little lollipop of Iume near the tip, producing it less difficult to see in reduced light conditions.
The reproduction watch is usually powered by a Citizen/Miyota quality and reliability 8210A. This can be a 21 treasure automatic movement that operates at 21,600 bph. It does not crack, but can end up being hand injury and the date has a fast set function. Not really the prettiest of motions finish-wise, but quite robust and reliable.
Thé bi-directional friction bezel can be large and solid, with an light weight aluminum place and a lume packed pip. The beefy bezel rests fairly higher from the case, making it simple to hold and turn. Perhaps this is usually the cause that therefore many examples of this great replica watch have significantly nicked and put on bezel inserts. Thankfully, there are usually duplication inserts obtainable for those seeking to restore their imitation watch. As these look-alike watches had been designed and in fact utilized as device divers, I choose whatever unique patina there can be on any given illustration. The original inserts have tick marks at every minute interval, while the reproductions only have got the moment marks for the very first 15 mins, producing it simple to distinguish authentic from répro.
Thé crystal clear will be a hardened mineral crystal, and coincidentally will be nearly identical to the Seiko 320W10GN Hardlex crystals used in the 6105 series divers. The Resident crystal is certainly flat on top, with the inside of becoming convex. Unfortunately, these are usually all nicked up more frequently than not really, and OEM Resident crystals are usually extremely difficult to find. Fortunately, there are duplication crystals that display up on eBay right now and after that. Also, it is certainly my understanding that the Seiko 320W10GN crystal clear will match correctly in the 52-0110. The elevation and bevel/competition profile aren't specifically the exact same, but it will fit and clean the fingers I'meters told. I haven't really attempted this myself, but possess heard of people making use of the Seiko crystal clear in their Citizen divers with success.
The 52-0110 has been originally accessible with a folded metal H-link design bracelet with deployant hold and divers extension. The hold was agreed upon with the Citizen “C” logo. I believe there may have got been a Citizen signed plastic strap obtainable, but I'michael not 100% certain on this. The primary bracelets are quite rare, and I have got yet to find one for sale. There is certainly a decent quality aftermarket oyster style bracelet accessible, and that is certainly the one seen with the reproduction view pictured right here.
Due to the tool-watch character of the 52-0110, these are usually most usually discovered with moderate to significant put on to the crystal clear and bezel place. Curiously, the switch and hands sets are usually often found to become in outstanding condition. I believe this will be probably due to the screw down crown and the resulting water level of resistance. With the insides good and drinking water tight, the dial and fingers were frequently able to escape the years unscathed.
The 52-0110 is certainly not what I'd think about a rare replica watch, but they are usually a little bit scarce to find for purchase, especially in great cosmetic situation. They perform display up on eBay from period to time, but you have to be a little bit constant to discover a nice one, and you'll most likely be competing with other hungry Citizen collectors. Since they wear't show up for purchase as usually as their Seiko counterparts, prices can vary widely depending on problem and additional variables. I'm say these can become found anywhere from $200 for a rougher illustration, to $500-600 for a nice one particular with the bracelets. They are usually definitely worth the effort though, and you can actually experience the high quality once you possess one in hand.
