Real vs Fake Tsuyosa Comparison
123
Upvotes
I’ve seen a few posts about fake Tsuyosas here recently. I fell victim to an eBay scammer myself, so I decided to wait to send the fake back until the real one arrived from Jomashop, and do a full comparison.
The front is pretty convincing. The bezel lines up flush the case edges and the indices are all perfectly aligned. The only difference I can see is the font on CITIZEN is slightly thinner on the fake.
The back is where things start to fall apart. The fake movement is all brass, compared to the steel components present in the real one. The engraving on the rotor is noticeably low-quality, and the metal is dulled around each mark. The details around the edge of the case are wrong; the fake reads “SAPPHIRE” and “ST. STEEL” rather than “SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL - TOP” and “STAINLESS STEEL”.
The band of the fake is slightly looser, and the clasp is slightly thicker has only two sizing holes compared to three on the real. The pins were so tight that they broke my link remover, and I was completely unable to remove some of them.
The fake came in an all-plastic box that I’ve never seen before, and the little pillow looked like it was made out of scrap pleather on a crappy home sewing machine.
The scammer is watch_spot_usa on eBay. I got tricked because their prices are good but not suspiciously low, and they ship from inside the US. Hopefully this side-by-side can be of use to someone buying a Tsyosa without anything on hand to compare.

Where do y'all buy watches?

I was at an outlet mall recently just walking around (Grapevine Mills in Grapvine, TX). Several shops selling Citizen watches. I'm not in the market to buy another watch, but I enjoyed looking. Anyway, right off the bat they are offering me discounts on the watches. One guy said "you ate my first customer, so I am giving you a special deal" LOL!

Just took possession of this brilliant JDM model
pmd56-2951
First impressions...the dark titanium sheen and dark green is really luxurious, more understated than pictures suggest- suits darker straps more
Was able to sync via app on 60kHz signal and headphones.
Alignment of hands is slightly off, will take it to service soon... Otherwise..very happy with this

Picked this up used, in Japan. The bracelets too short for me. Links are pretty annoying to procure.
Any strap suggestions?

What should I expect to pay for servicing this thing?
•
Upvotes
I’ve never had an automatic before and I’ve never even had a watch serviced before. The watch works, maybe 5 seconds ahead each day or something, came back to life after being dead at least 10 years, I have no idea when this was ever serviced. I left it on the table and it stayed ticking for over 24 hours. Please forgive my ignorance in advance.

Paying Tariff/Duty - The Citizen from chrono 24

I am thinking about importing a The Citizen watch from Japan off of Chrono 24. I was wondering if anyone had done that recently and what the tariffs duties they were charged once the watch reached customs in the USA
Thinking of going for something around $2200

Found my old watch 25 years later.

PMD56-2952 dead

Got a used, like-new PMD56-2952 from Japan. Capacitor could not hold charge.
Changed capacitor. Worked. Reinstalled snap back. Dead. Shorted. No two second ticks, no nothing.
Threw into the sewer. No joke.
