Citizen Attesa Platinum DLC Blue LE 2000pcs CB0288-65L (CB0288-65L, CB0288). Current Prices, JDM Listings, Market Analysis
The Citizen Attesa CB0288-65L is a limited-edition JDM release capped at 2,000 pieces, finished with a platinum DLC treatment and a distinctive blue dial. Because production is closed and the watch was sold exclusively through Japanese domestic channels, supply in the US market stays thin enough to create a persistent pricing gap worth monitoring. Tonbo tracks this reference actively for arbitrage signals between Japan and the US secondary market. At present, the US median sits at $1,000, with verified buys ranging from the low $900s to just under $1,200.
Current US Market Value
The current US median price for the Citizen Attesa Platinum DLC Blue LE 2000pcs CB0288-65L CB0288-65L is $1,000, with the interquartile range running from $910 to $1,195. That spread suggests reasonable price agreement among sellers, though buyers should treat these figures with appropriate caution. The comp pool here is limited, and the data quality is rated 🟡 Limited comps, meaning the median is directionally useful but not as statistically solid as a model with dozens of recent US sales behind it. As more transactions clear, confidence in the CB0288-65L price benchmark will improve. For now, $1,000 is a reasonable working anchor when evaluating CB0288-65L for sale listings in the US.
Active JDM Listings
Japanese market activity for the CB0288-65L has been consistent over the past two weeks, with multiple listings appearing across both auction and fixed-price platforms on May 30 alone. Pricing in yen spans a notable range, likely reflecting differences in condition grading and seller type. Here is what the current JDM landscape looks like.
- ¥109,780 on a Japanese auction platform, condition graded excellent (two separate listings at this price)
- ¥111,650 on a Japanese auction platform, condition flagged (inspect carefully before bidding)
- ¥127,600 on a Japanese auction platform, condition unknown
- ¥134,580 on a Japanese auction platform, condition graded excellent
- ¥159,500 on Yahoo Shop Japan, condition unknown
The gap between the lowest excellent-condition auction listing and the Yahoo Shop fixed-price listing is substantial. Fixed-price shop listings often carry a premium for buyer convenience and return policies, but that premium can be significant when sourcing to buy CB0288-65L from Japan.

They indicate that, when the right listing appears at the right exchange rate and shipping cost, the CB0288-65L can present genuine arbitrage upside.

Japan vs. US Price Gap
The US-Japan price gap on the CB0288-65L is driven by a combination of limited domestic US awareness of this reference and the friction involved in sourcing from Japanese platforms. Most US buyers are not actively browsing Japanese auction sites, which keeps demand concentrated on the small number of units that surface on domestic resale platforms, supporting a higher clearing price. Condition variance is the primary risk factor to manage. The presence of a flagged listing among recent results is a reminder that not every Japanese listing is clean, and DLC-coated cases are particularly worth scrutinizing for edge wear or scratches before committing. Comp thinness compounds this, since a watch sold in below-average condition could skew your reference price expectations if the underlying dataset is small.
