Hi,

recently bought on ebay the Citizen Parawater alarm sold as mens, the description was ok it did say the lugs at 14 (never seen a 14mm lug on a 35mm watch TBH) and case at 35mm however just the overall build feels like its a womens watch. standard 17J Citizen alarm movement in there.

what do you guys think? iv never seen such small lugs.. thats the main part bugging me about it ... mens or womens? I havent see to much info in specs or old advertising for this watch on google searches.

here are some pics for your viewing pleasure, thanks for chiming in if you have info.

I agree the proportions are wrong. My guess is that the watch originally came with a bracelet with male end links and had a width the size of the outer lug dimensions.

At 35mm diameter it could not be considered a "ladies". Unisex maybe. I have never seen the watch and the suggestion above may be the easiest way to get it to wear well.

You could get a strap like this:

That's mid sized at best. My wife has watches far bigger than that.

yes indeed at 35mm its smaller, but also its from the 70's so I dont think watches back then are huge... although I have a citizen parawater that is 40mm (the compressor type style). anyhow the lugs definitely small and abnormal. usually id try to find someone that scanned an original advertisement or sales / catalogue but was unable to find such a thing for this wach.
