    No idea if this upload is going to work but if it does, this is mine.

    I ordered this from Amazon in December and promptly forgot about it. It arrived quite unexpectedly yesterday.

    I took off the blue strap it came with, I didn't like the colour or feel of it. I have it on the good old Nato for now.

    I have had the gold bezel Wingman since school.
    It's still going strong.

    You can't fault their build quality

    Excalibur

    Fresh from the Postman this afternoon.

    Bracelet roughly sized to give it a whirl tonight.

    It feels great on the wrist, the length of the clasp is the only niggle, and the same problem I have with all Citizen bracelets, I need a half link out for a proper fit.
    I was never quite sure if I liked these or not from the photos I had seen. Now I have one in front of me, I can see the lovely shape of the bushed case with polished edges and the nice clear dial with applied markers for myself. I prefer this to my Prime right now.

    Nice watch, but how come Amazon took so long to deliver it?

    They must have been out of stock, this one has a serial number that starts with 71 so I assume it was made in January this year.

    Pretty happy with this, been after a panda/ reverse-panda for awhile now and the 8110 just ticks all the boxes for me!

    I've had one of these before but could not resist this when I saw it looking sorry for itself on eBay with a smashed crystal

    My Citizen Chronomaster. Titanium, immaculately finished, immensely wearable at 37mm and under a centimetre thick - it's a keeper.

  18. #118
    A very cool moon phase and chronograph complication with an eye catching design. When I searched eBay for a moon phase chronograph there were about 12 of these but none of the other citizen variations so I snatched up the best priced one from the highest rated seller. So comfortable to wear.

    Only got one Citizen. It is a 43mm 200m diver from about 6 years ago. Model number NY6021-51e with a Miyota 8203 movement. I'm very fond of it because it was my first mechanical and it's a very solid piece.






  20. #120
    My first Citizen, a 46 mm ecsophere, Eco Drive. It does wear big on my smallish wrist but the heck.

    New strap for this one. My go-to diver as I wear my watches on the right wrist, so the crown doesn't dig in with this one!

    Great strap.

    I've noted the PMX56-2591 in Tokei's earlier post, but does anyone have either the 2811 or 2812 Air Diver ?

    On spec these look pretty good, circa 40mm by 11mm deep, 20mm lugs. Not totally convinced by titanium but otherwise pretty neat.

    Just love this watch and even keeping a Rolex of my wrist most of the time.

    A GPS watch with a clean face and in my opinion far nicer than the Seiko Astron versions.

    This is now £845 RRP and got it for £375 so much watch for the money.

    Despite really not liking the bezel font (or the over-complicated face if I'm honest!), this is my daily beater. I love the weight of it and it's terrifyingly accurate. I keep waiting for it to be wrong but every time I compare it to my iphone, it's bang on. Startling.

    Picked this up reciently- not my usual style - it's going to need a new sapphire too but being radio controlled it's bang on

  27. #127
    Very difficult to photograph due to the Sapphire Crystal made with DLC Coating and Titanium this is the Citizen Altichron Cirrus.

    New in and needs setting up, dial is stunning. If it wasn't for the text on the dial I think you would have a hard time working out this is solar driven.

    Shogun rival, the wonderfully named PMX56-2812!

    Both 200m titanium divers, one auto one eco - both great!

    Fantastic watches at the price - I wear one most days for work. The bracelet does of course have ratchet micro-adjustment extension, which makes for a longer clasp. A sapphire crystal would be nice, but at the price I'm not complaining.

    I had one of these , and an amazing watch for the money . Citizens answer to Seiko skx007 however I literally had to take the watch off turn it upside down to change the time because of the crowns position , cannot get on with a lefty after all , other than that it's a great watch

    Had the batteries changed a little while ago, pleasantly surprised it passed the pressure test (100m) without problems.

    Lovely 29
    Here are my 2- the C020 is very strange - the seconds don't seem to add up but it keeps good time (analogue) I think a cool watch and always gets a few looks
    I feel I can only keep one

    Found myself drawn to the ti Ray Mears watch and low and behold it appears on the OP, wondering if anyone could shine some light on the ‘unrepairable’ comment by Electorn as his reason for initially flipping? GMT16750 then introduces me to the very similar 6400 model, forgive my obvious lack of Citizen knowledge but is this available in ti and does it have the same movement as the Ray Mears model/ is it serviceable? Thanks

    The Ray Mears and other monocoque type Citizens are repairable. I recently took apart a gmt monocoque pre-Ray Mears (probably 15 years old and some) and changed the battery, the glass for a sapphire, the crystal gasket, bezel gasket and one of the 2 crown gaskets. Most parts held by Cousins, and a bit of homework finding compatible parts from current models where not listed for the actual case number.

    Ah, thanks for that, I read most of the thread and saw that you’d managed a service, didn’t realise the (referred to) issue was lack of spare parts... Which I suppose leads to my next query, if at some future date I get my hands on a ti/6400/gmt can I make use of your servicing experience...?

    Well I'm not properly trained, and still lack many tools. I'm happy if it's something I'm confident doing, but at most, I'm more of a diy modder.

    Quite a fan of Citizen divers.
    Great quality without being too big/thick and excellent accuracy.

    Have these two currently.

    I only have the one, but it's a good one.
