Thank you chap. The case is about 38mm across so the dial looks a bit small and I don't think the black shark mesh is helping. Might be raiding my 18mm strap drawer tomorrow.

I couldn't help myself. Let's see how he runs... here's a yellow-faced smilie, the nearest to being a black-eyed panda! First catching the light on the hurr as we say in East Anglia, I love it when my C7 IRR catches the light on the elements, then in full glorious flash-o-colour. Let's get the lume charged and see how that is overnight...

Ooh I say. You do pick up some interesting pieces Pete. That looks splendiferous! I have never owned a bullhead and yet this is most intriguing. Where on earth do you find all these?

Interesting = Pete just buys what his eye settles on.

No I never owned a bullhead before, I never owned a Citizen before. I thought this looked okay, I won't provide feedback until it's had at least 24 hours of running including chrono start/stop/reset, day & date changes. I'll run it against my C7 and C70 COSCs and see how it differs.

UPDATE: over the course of the first 36 hours from receiving it from postman pat, with plenty of chrono cycles, it gained no more than a minute against two one year old quartz COSC chronos.

Tune in for the next installment of Potty Pete's pickings

Where? The Bay of E of course!

I almost bought one of these about six months ago. Now I'm regretting not buying it all over again. Lovely watch!

^ If you did, I am sure the FC would be very excited to become part of your rediculosly nice collection.

Having said that, I would suggest the panda speedy for you instead.

Haha, that is true, but I already have a reverse panda (blue with white subdials). Maybe there's room for a normal panda - I might mod a standard one like Clarky did with his...

What I liked about the FC was the black minute track with the smooth bezel - I think it sets it off really nicely.
