Citizen Attesa Moon Phase BY1006-62E (BY1006-62E, BY1006). Current Prices, JDM Listings, Market Analysis

The Citizen Attesa Moon Phase BY1006-62E is a JDM-market Citizen from the Attesa line, a family known for its solar-powered, radio-controlled technology positioned at the upper tier of Citizen's domestic catalog. This reference sits in a price range where the gap between Japanese retail and US resale creates genuine sourcing interest, which is why it appears in Tonbo's tracking system. The current US median for the BY1006-62E price sits at $831, with the interquartile range running from $700 to $1,175. That spread is wide enough to reward careful sourcing and punish inattention in equal measure.

Current US Market Value

Based on available US market data, the Citizen Attesa Moon Phase BY1006-62E BY1006-62E carries a current median price of $831. The 25th to 75th percentile range of $700 to $1,175 reflects meaningful variation in condition, completeness, and seller context rather than model instability alone. It is worth noting that this figure is drawn from a limited sample set and is classified as 🟡 Limited comps, meaning the underlying dataset is thin enough that the median should be treated as a directional estimate rather than a hard benchmark. As more transactions are recorded, confidence in that figure will improve. For now, buyers and resellers should weight recent completed sales heavily and treat the median as a starting point for due diligence rather than a final answer.

Active JDM Listings

Recent Japanese market activity for the BY1006-62E for sale shows a cluster of listings appearing simultaneously on Yahoo Shopping in Japan, which suggests retailer-level stock movement rather than individual seller turnover. Prices in yen span a meaningful range within the same two-day window, indicating different sellers and likely different condition or packaging tiers. At current exchange rates, these listings convert to a range that still sits below the US median in several cases.

• ¥130,900 on Yahoo Shopping (multiple listings at this price point, May 30)
• ¥149,600 on Yahoo Shopping (May 30)
• ¥155,840 on Yahoo Shopping (May 30)
• ¥187,000 on Yahoo Shopping (May 30)

The concentration of listings on a single date suggests a restocking event or a coordinated listing push from Japanese dealers. That pattern is worth watching because it can compress margins quickly if multiple buyers move on the same batch.

Recent Alert History

Alert activity on this reference has been concentrated and recent. Within the past 90 days, four alerts fired inside a single two-day window, all on May 28. Two of those alerts reached opportunity tier, with landed costs of $633 and $574 against the $831 US median, producing gross margin estimates of 24 percent and 31 percent respectively. Two additional alerts cleared the stricter threshold, with landed costs of $574 and $562, both showing approximately 31 to 32 percent gross margin against the same median. The clustering of both opportunity and strict-tier signals on the same day points to a brief window of favorable sourcing conditions rather than a persistent pattern. Whether that window recurs depends on yen movement, seller behavior, and how quickly existing US inventory turns. You can review how Tonbo calculates these tiers at tonbomarket.com/signals.

Japan vs. US Price Gap

The price gap between buy BY1006-62E Japan scenarios and US resale is driven primarily by the domestic-focus of the Attesa line, which receives limited official distribution outside Japan and therefore trades at a premium among US collectors who want it. JDM solar and radio-controlled pieces from Citizen's premium tiers have consistent demand from buyers who understand the technology but cannot source the specific references through domestic retail channels. The main risk factor here is comp thinness: with a limited sample underpinning the $831 median, a single outlier transaction can shift the apparent market position, and a watch bought against a thin dataset carries more valuation risk than one priced against hundreds of comps. Condition variance is also a standard concern with any JDM sourcing, as listing photos do not always reflect dial or case wear accurately.
