For sale: The Citizen, AQ1000-58E, Thermocompensated Eco-Drive The Citizen

For sale: The Citizen, AQ1000-58E. This is the new eco-drive, thermocompensated The Citizen.

Stainless steel case and bracelet with Duratect PTIC finish. Double AR-coated sapphire crystal. WR 10 BAR. Perpetual calendar and independently-adjustable hour hand (no need to hack the watch to adjust the hour hand). Thermocompensated A010 movement with ± 5 seconds per year accuracy. Eco-drive (solar power). Power reserve indicator. Case diameter: 37.3 mm., case thickness: 10.4 mm., weight: 124 g. Ten-year Citizen warranty, which includes free battery changes and checkups during the first 10 years. Comes with original Citizen box and Owner's Manual. New to me about 6 months ago. Only worn for 13 weeks during accuracy-testing. No scratches or scuffs that I can see. Regular price: $2645 US. Asking: $1500.00 US. This includes shipping to anywhere in the US or Canada. I will ship to any location, but will need to check postal costs for international addresses. This will add slightly to the price. Pictures follow. These are taken from a review I did of the watch (hence the numbers to which I referred in the review), in which I placed it side-by-side with the older Chronomaster which is most closely resembles. In each picture, the AQ1000-58E is the watch on the left.

In the accuracy test in the last link, the present watch is labeled "Watch 1." It can be seen that this specimen easily beat its official accuracy specification of ± 5 seconds per year, recording 3.64 seconds per year when worn over a 13-week trial period.
