Looks great, enjoy!

 

Good job trying and then hunting that down.

 

Looks like a great fit on your wrist. Congrats on the purchase. Wear it in good health.

 

That is a great looking Promaster. I love all the Promasters I have. I think Citizen offers some of the best value for money, especially from a big brand.

They've been on a roll lately, and even have Bulova and Caravelle upping their game too.

 

It's a great value for sure, but these are going for even less

 

What model is that?

 

That's a great looking watch and should serve you well. Congrats!

 

I just got the green one, looking forward to the Long Island watch bracelet for it (hopefully)

 

Great pickup, sounds like you found a real gem. The BN0260-54L punches way above its weight, and at that price with a warranty, it’s a no-brainer. Enjoy that blue dial and bulletproof EcoDrive.

 

Great looking watch. I was considering getting one but opted for a blue dial Tough which was on discount. Part of me wishes the Tough had a slightly longer lug to lug (it's 46mm) because the slim clearance between the spring bars and case makes it tricky to find well-fitting straps (currently on Nato).

 

Congrats, enjoy!

 

Citizen is on the rise.... great watch

 

Good move

 

Great looking watch!

 

Nah, the hands are just fine the way they are, the watches this homages had them so they belong.
The yellow dial version is NY0120-52X.
As far as longevity goes, I have a bulova marine star from 2009 with an 8215 movement that still runs as it did from new, it may need a service, but for all I care it can run until it breaks and then I'll put a new movement and maybe change the dial in it and then my son can have it.
I don't buy the claim that eco-drive movements are "better" than mechanical, they serve their owners very well and last a long time for sure but better is subjective, and yes I do own watches with eco-drive

 

Its certainly a great thing n well priced
This Citizen costs more but is better specced and can be found on sale easily
and IMHO is the best value diver out there from a major brand.

I looked at that one over and over again in pictures. Almost bought it multiple times, but, thankfully, I never did. I had someone send me one for a test drive, and I immediately didn't like it. Bezel/dial were different color blues. The clasp on the bracelet is insanely long. The bezel action felt weird to me. Etc. I was bummed, because I really, really liked how it looked it photos and thought it was a great piece. Still looking for a titanium diver. Wish Seiko would go back to making them like they did in the 90s.

 

Citizen makes some wonderful timepieces. Issue for me, many of their divers use handsets I dislike.

 

Yes, the ones on this model are very Seiko-like, so I like them.

 

The Mrs. just made a deal for one at the shore. All Citizens 40% off. This one came in at $237.00, under Jomashop even, and with a very cool case (and six year factory warranty after we registered it online):

They've got one left...

 

Great looking watch, congratulations.

 

I thought for sure I'd pick one of these up as an amazing value travelers GMT.

But holding it in hand... I knew I'd be paying for a bracelet I wouldn't wear, and the bezel action made it feel cheap.

For me, this one represented decent enough value that I bought one, $280

But keep in mind on my end that value has more to do with "does it appeal to me" than absolute pricing. So the Citizen posted in th OP, I don't find much value in it simply because It has little I like in a watch. Same thing with the vaunted Casio Duro. Diver I think represents a great value? Sinn U50 SDR.

Calling a $3370 watch a good value?!? Yep. It's exactly what I might want out of a dive watch, and they show up used around $2500. Value in this one has to do with personal, subjective lust factor, not price, but the price is also not completely out of reach. So as a watch I really, really like, at a price I could ostensibly afford, amazing value.

 

 

Nice. Good dimensions, zero maintenance, accurate and looks great. I once found a wallet friendly Seiko I liked so much, I bought a second one as a spare. Let see someone do that with a Rolex, ha.

 

I just find the Eco Drive movement really boring and sadly a ton of Citizen watches use it.

 

Yup, watches are pointless now, pure jewelery everyone has a phone.

 

Then why are you here?

 

I carry my phone either in my pocket or in a pouch on my belt. I can tell the time a lot faster with a wrist watch.

 

Yes, we moved on from pocket watches a century ago for a reason.

Back on topic, I love this new Eco-Drive diver, and plan to get one. I'll wait a little while to see if new variants pop up, but I'd be happy with the blue.

I love the Fujitsubo too--titanium rules--but I don't want another auto. I want a true grab-and-go diver on a bracelet to complement my 44mm titanium Eco-Drive on rubber.

 

A great looking rock-solid Diver that you can hand down to your kids. Congratulations ! Greg
