I'm looking an HQ quartz , have a decent budget , and the Citizen Chronomaster seem very underated .
The A4040-54Y is a special edition with hand made paper dial set under a crystal solar cell.
Versus the Grand Seikos their movements have perpetual calender , independent hour hand ( I know the FS new ones now do ) and accuracy +/- 5 pa ( only SE GS have that ). Plus titanium , Duratect and Ziratsu polishing , basically you get everything Citizen have in their locker.
So you get more for your money. Big downside is resale . A GS 44GS case with Ziratsu is sellable , for decent money, plus servicing and battery changes ( if your ever need it ) easier and cheaper.
But that kind of makes the Chronomaster more desirable, is a special purchase that the buyer would really appreciate .
Will have a think, what are your thoughts?
Some web pics. The paper dial is astonishing
