Citizen Exceed Tank Watch Men 24mm Champagne Dial Gold Tone 2730-274253 PARTS

For repair enthusiasts and collectors, this Citizen Exceed Tank Watch (men’s, 24mm case) offers a precise donor piece for restoration projects or parts salvage. Featuring a champagne dial and gold-tone stainless steel case, this model is identified as 2730-274253 and is a Japan-made example from the iconic Exceed Tank line. This listing is sold as a non-working parts item—perfect for skilled hobbyists and professional watchmakers who understand donor pieces can save an entire restoration when the right parts align.

Key condition and compatibility details

• Working status: The watch does not run and cannot be set due to the absence of the crown and stem. A new battery will not fix it, so this is a dedicated donor piece for parts salvage.
• Appearance: Used with visible scratches on the case and crystal. These marks are typical of wear from prior use and can guide you in choosing matching replacements or frame restoration strategies.
• Movement: Quartz movement present, but non-functional as a complete unit in this listing.
• Case and finish: Gold-tone stainless steel case with champagne dial and non-numeric hour markers—classic Citizen Exceed Tank styling.
• Important note: No crown or stem is included; time cannot be set in this condition. Sold strictly as a parts/donor piece.
• Origin: Made in Japan, ensuring authentic craftsmanship and original design language from Citizen.
• Model identifiers: 2730-274253. Suitable as a donor for other Citizen Exceed Tank models or for salvage of authentic case, dial, and related components.
