Did you call the Citizen rep in Panama? If they feature the watch on their ads in means it is available.:-s
Did you call the Citizen rep in Panama? If they feature the watch on their ads in means it is available.:-sI would love to get the black dial, black face watch but can't find it, even here in Panama. I checked the watch88 site and don't see it there either. Anyone know where I could get my grubby little hands on one of them?
And thanks for all the help everyone has given about this matter.

Wow, that's just gorgeous. I need to add a Citizen to my collection (and thereby validate my WUS handle). :think:I found this watch even cheaper:

US$350. I am very tempted. Sapphire crystal, moonphase, semi-perpetual calendar, 46mm case, butterfly clasp. Pretty high end Eco-Drive if you ask me.
I like it better (for a guy) with white dial. The rose dial is beautiful too.
True and a Panama is a major distribution center for products all over Latin america. Citizen should have this watch available or be able to easily source it for you. Just find an AD in David and order the watch through them. Panama is small enough that surely they can have the watch shipped to them directly from Citizen in Panama City in a few days. It sure beats driving all the way to the Capital just for a watch.Did you call the Citizen rep in Panama? If they feature the watch on their ads in means it is available.:-s
PM sent.How do you know this area of Panama?
David, that minute repeater is beautiful. Yet another Citizen not meant for US consumption.Found another one I like. After some reviews I changed my mind about the black one as a lot of people said the black was coming off and silver was showing through. Don't want that at all.
So I've got another question. I found this one and like it. I have some concerns about the Eco Drive watches in general. And yes I do have one right now, a moon phase perpetual calendar.
Without sounding trite do you think this watch will have a cheap "tinny" look to it? What do you think of this watch anyway. It's a minute Repeater (Chimes on the hour) but that won't matter to me probably as I'm hard of hearing and I'm sure the chime will be so soft that it would be hard for anyone to hear it.
Anyone got one of the Eco Drives with an Alarm or chime on it. Can you even hear the darn thing? And are the new one any better made that the ones from about sixyears ago? I haven't had any problems with the one I have except that it is pretty scratched up on the metal band and clasp. Have never had any problem with it working though.
BTW I found this one for 329 dollars on the net. think it will be as solid a watch as say my Orient Blue Mako that I got last month?

I've got the Citizen BL5250 which has an alarm on it. I don't use it consistently, as it's just more convenient to set/use my alarm clock on a daily basis, however, the watch is loud enough to wake you up if you're anything but a deep sleeper.Anyone got one of the Eco Drives with an Alarm or chime on it.

Thanks. Pretty watch BTW. Can you tell me how the alarm works? does it have a daily alarm that you can set for say 6:00 AM everyday or do you have to set it each time you want it to "alarm". If it's a daily will it go off after so many "rings" or do you have to manually turn it off.I've got the Citizen BL5250 which has an alarm on it.

I'm a pretty heavy sleeper, but the first time this went off, it woke me up. Not sure if I would count on it every single time (since I can sleep through a fire alarm if I'm tired), but it would definitely wake my wife up every time, as she's a light sleeper.
Pretty sure it'll work fine for you as long as your hand isn't buried underneath three pillows and a comforter. :-d
