Post by carlt69 »

I came across this the other night and I have to say I'm really considering it!?

I don't have that particular model although I've seen it at my AD. I think it looks great and I would expect it to function flawlessly like nearly all Citizens. I've got quite a few of them...granted they don't have the soul of an auto, but they are really fine watches :thumbup:

I've got this one (not my photo) and I think it has the right balance between sporty and dressy.
Also looks great on fake Bond NATO strap.

A friend of mine has that exact watch. I comes in blue, yellow, and green also. It looks better in person than it does in the picture.

Well it's here and I rather like it :thumbup:

The orange isn't as bright in real life as the pictures and I love the fact it will never need a battery :-)

Considering it on the 12th, it's on your wrist on the 14th. The disease has a strong hold on you I see! :)

Good looking watch, and every collection deserves to have an Eco-Drive!

That looks fantastic.

Won't it eventually need a new battery as lithium ion cells eventually lose their ability to hold a charge?

I think the Eco Drives are rated to about one battery change every 20 years or something like that. The batteries in these watches are surprisingly well designed.
