Hi all sc bros, just sharinga recent purchase. Bought for a song from ray watches at lucky Chinatown. Pics speak louder den words so please see 

Image
Vintage proportions and design. A very clear look from the watches of that era like orient olympia, seiko cal 66 and others

movement shot with rotor distached. I think it makes a nicer picture for illustration this way. Now have big problem putting it back

Caseback shot. Unbreakable spring

Lovely watch and it was trying to use the ring rotor design to make a windable automatic that is also thin. Really marvel at the technical side of citizen watches. Hope u like this short sharing!

Sorry, left out picture of the rotor, which is one of the interesting things about this watch.

Congrats Traineract. Nice vintage piece.

Good point...as long as watch sings to you and it is going for a song, it's a good hoot.

Nope, should be attached but it was removed and couldn't find anyone to put it back yet.
