Careful where you source this

The shopping in Japan has this message

Due to supply-chain disruptions caused by the Coronavirus outbreak, all orders placed will have the shipment processed after 11 May.
Thank you for your business, and we look forward to seeing you in May.

hard to describe, but i'll do my best and add some more wrist pics to this thread tomorrow.
lugs are short and turn down. it's just wide/tall enough to fit flat and not flop around, even without the strap cinched tight. it is tall, but not top heavy. wears a lot like larger diameter ti watches but a bit heavier, but not too heavy. i find it really easy to wear; it by no means disappears on the wrist, but is not a constant distraction either. hopefully some of that makes sense?

Thanks in advance! :thumbsup:

I love the smaller Ti watches. Feather lite. Probably should have kept that Ti Citizen NY0054 auto diver I sold quite a few years back. But that’s ok. Too many watches as it is.

Looking forward to your impressions Matt :) The dial looks really deep set in the photo.

I saw some videos, dial shaped like the coliseum.

Certainly different than anything in the box.


I paid a bit less than asking; had the Macy's sale as the back-up plan.

I like it but I can’t get passed the round (integrated) cyclops, over the square date window.

I hadn’t given that much thought; certainly a better design if they synced.

I only wish Citizen offers more automatics. I like the design, no problem with allignment buso little automatics. And they have cheap and bulletproof 82xx and 90xx with 28800bph (Seiko 4R and 6R are 21600bph) often comparable with ETA2824/Sellita200.
So many micro's use 90xx Miyota, Citizen only a few models in signature line (?!why?)

Looks nice and even tempting in lockdown but I know if I bought it I’d never wear it.

Look what Chris and Mark found:

This is the combo I want. Looks dope.
Agreed. This would be a great work watch for me.
If you find this one, on rubber, please share a link. I only found them on the bracelet. Normally I'd slap it on a NATO, but that rubber looks nice. :cheers:
the rubber strap and buckle are both really well done. that said, i agree with Chris that a magnum or iso would be very similar as far as thickness and "balancing" the watch. I'm going to try the two tone on a brown iso and I'll share some pics of it fitted when I swap it over.

That looks sharp, Jason. :thumbsup:


Been meaning to ask, what’s the purpose of the screw-down pushers shown in your first picture?
