[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Where to find a Citizen BN 0000-04H watch?

Posted: 4/20/2023 1:19:03 PM EDT

Anyone know where I can find a Citizen BN 0000-04H diver as used by the Royal Navy. Thank in advance.

Search eBay for "Citizen E168" and "Citizen 300M". Most sellers don't know the actual model number of the watch and will just put the mov't/case number in the description. Be patient. They seem to come and go in waves on eBay and WUS.

I have one that I had a sapphire installed on that I'll never part with, but I've also had the BN0001-01L UK Pepsi version, and the rare PVD United Arrows version.

A gent from WUS had 100 crystals made to OEM specs years ago. He's down to his last few. Username BB-SF, but I've got his email if you need it.

Totalwatchrepair will swap the crystal/seals for you and install a new capacitor if you find a watch that needs one. They are a authorized Citizen repair center too, so if it needs a new insert or something, they've got you covered. I've swapped a couple of these over, but it's super fiddly work being a front-loader.

I like that PVD model. Looks real good with the green watchband.
