Citizen Promaster NY008-10L

Post by toxicavenger » Tue Sep 25, 2018 4:19 pm

I just got it in today. Cool watch. Great watch for around $200 imo. But the font is so thin on the day/date window I can't read them. Weird they made it this way.

That’s cool - congrats!

Font looks ok in your pic - maybe user eyesight issues? ;)

Hahaha other buyers have said the same thing. The font is to thin so you can only see the day/date when you are out in the sun. Otherwise it washes out.

Looks great. I kind of like how the thin font makes it disappear until you look a little closer.

Can see what you are saying Terry. But it's still is one awesome looking watch ! :clap:

The dial, case design, and bezel are remarkable really !!! ..Plus your nato makes
it that much more special ! :) Hopefully you get used to the font, and this one
becomes a keeper. Huge congrats there !!! ENJOY !

Love my bn0151 but not a fan of the plastic crown or the tube with few turns, just curious did they fix either of these? Is it comfortable with the crown like that?

Looks like a cool watch, enjoy it
