No wonder I've not seen that one before, Citizens UK site drives me insane. If I search using the model no. in Google it'll bring it up on their site but if you try and search for it or look through similar models it disappears. It always amazes me when big companies have incredibly shit websites...

Cheers!

they do BN0151-09L
Just googled, not seen that one before. Is that the same case as the one above? It looks much more bulbous in the pics I've just googled?
Same case with improvements. http://www.thedivewatchconnection.com/f ... it=citizen

Great lume, super light and cheap.

Did you custom grind those end links? I would love to find a properly fitting bracelet for mine, although it does rock on a ToxicNATO.

That's a cool comparison. I has a citizen with the same movement (I think it was a NY0054) and it didn't run any more accurate than my 009 / various monsters. YMMV of course.

I like the look of the NY0040, not sure if I'd pick it over a 009 but it's a cool little watch :)

I agree, looks great but really hard to get past the math :)

Unless you know it's a 'keeper' of course, then who cares ...
