Arizona Fine Time: Did I get a used watch?

Post by bocbass »

Just received a Citizen Titanium diver from AZ Fine Time. The watch itself is in great shape, but there was absolutely no protective plastic on it. Dial, caseback, bracelet, clasp were all bare metal. It did have a Citizen hang tag attached to the bracelet.

This is my first new Citizen, and first Titanium watch. Does Citizen usually ship watches with protective film? Is the fact that it is titanium have something to do with it?

I've bought Citizen watches in the past, from other vendors, and all had, AT MINIMUM, a sticker over the crystal.

Is AZ Fine time an AD or a grey market seller? That could have something to do with the amount of plastic wrap if they are grey market

I've only purchased one Citizen, Not from AZ Fine Time though. The nighthawk I purchased new did not have a protective film on the bracelet. It may have also been in a store display case which would be another reason the stickers may not be on it
