I have both and find that they each have excellent construction. The Citizen feels more expensive in the hand but the SARB still holds its own. I don't bother with accuracy as I don't wear them regularly but the Citizen is supposed to be above average. To me the SARB is like a really good Honda while the Citizen is a premium vehicle.

As mentioned, be cautioned with the Citizen's threaded pins. The Swiss jeweler it took it too for sizing broke his tool loosening the screws.

Hey guys! Wow, thank you for all the input over the last week, it really helped my final decision. I pulled the trigger on the the blued hands Grand Classic! It should arrive tomorrow sometime. I will post my own pics and review once I get a chance to check it out. I am incredibly excited!

Whoa! Is this your first watch? If so you must understand that most sub-$1000 watches you consider from here on will feel cheap and "not as good as the Citizen". It's a hard road of watch collecting now that you've set the bar this high!

congratulations!
