My new watch

Ex-RoNiN · 13 Oct 2006 at 19:26

Citizen Eco Drive BL8000-03a.

Cheapest I found in the UK was £160, I got it from the states for $220 (incl. delivery and insurance), i.e. £118 :cool:

My first watch in 6 years

Last one broke at the RATM concert in Athens 6 years ago - also a Citizen incidentally

I was going to reply stating I don't like it. I paused, hit "back" looked at it again and I actually like that very much.
Well done

Its already 2hrs 40 minutes fast.

The dial is a little cluttered for my liking but the basic design is very smart

I dont like the design looks to "gadgety"....something i would expect a grandad to wear for a party...my 2p.

No way my 6.75" wrist could pull off a Fiddy. 44mm or less for me.

The Citizen is nice though. A little busy, but dressy.

Both quite nice.

I reckon the first watch would look better with a metal strap.

And losing the month wording (also shrinking it by a few mm), other than that it's pretty good.

Very nice. Dials are not my thing though, don't like the clutter. I can see why you would like it though.

This is more my type of thing:

I shall have you soon enough...

Beautiful watches.

I could only afford a Fossil Leather Cuff watch to replace my lost Guess one.
