I just bought a Citizen watch and on the stainless steel back is printed: Base Metal YPM. What does that mean? Thanks |

Can anyone help with this question? I'd really like to know what "Base Metal YPM" means. Thanks |

I know the y means gold tone but my catalogs do not list PM. you can call Citizen and they can tell you. 800-321-1023 Dave |

Hi Dave, I called Citizen but they could only verify what you already told me. They had no clue what the PM stood for. Thanks, Brent |

Are you sure it says YPM and not Y 10M? This would indicate a 10 micron gold plating. You could post a picture if you are really interested about this. Basically you have a gold-plated watch. |

I looked again. Below "Citizen Watch Co." is: "Base Bezel YPM" |

This is a correction to my last post. The back of the watch has, in addition to some numbers: CITIZEN WATCH CO. WATER RESIST BASE METAL YPM (Numbers) (Numbers) |
