Where can i buy a skyhawk?

hey, watch experts, where can i get a Citizen Skyhawk in the UK for a reasonable price? or does anyone know where i can import it from a trusty seller either on ebay, or elsewhere? i want to buy it on ebay, but it's a lot of money to buy something from the US when you're not sure about their credibility!

www.transair.co.uk have the titanium one at £329.

Then there's this one at £269, £304 for the titanium one... http://www.flyingshop.com/index.asp?function=DISPLAYPRODUCT&productid=1194

But, the best prices are here:

I used to own a nighthawk which was an excellent watch for what I used it for. Citizens are really great everyday watches and you get a lot for your money

it's quite shallow really, i only want it because i love the way it looks

i like the nighthawk a lot too...

There's nothing wrong with that!
I was really pleased with my Nighthawk but it can be a bit big for everyday use. The skyhawk is much better for everyday use as it's more comfortable to wear for long periods.

i have big chunky wrists...the size won't be a problem. that nighthawk is growing on me a lot - thanks for throwing ANOTHER choice into it!!

I've got the Stars & Stripes Limited Edition sailing version, which is very similar except for a blue dial/bezel and some of the extra functions being sailing related. Got it from "that auction site" and had no problems at all. It's a lovely watch - very nicely put together, and very light being titanium.

The seller I bought from is still trading, with 100% +ve feedback, and has a few Citizens listed, including a gorgeous Blue Angels Skyhawk. Not sure if I can post his Ebay ID here, but if not email in trust. Prices are very good, and watches are in the UK so no risk of import duty/VAT.

i've decided (after much google image searching) to go for the Nighthawk...can't wait for it to arrive

Did you go for the steel or the black one? It's an outstanding watch for the money. The eco drive saves a load of hassle and it keeps impeccable time. If you ever find yourself needing to do fuel calculations or distance/speed/time calculations on the fly, it'll come in handy for that too

If you've any questions about it just shout.

Hey I've got that watch and very nice it is too :cool:

Sic · 20 Jun 2006 at 22:42

went for the stainless steel one. i'll probably have no use for the extra functions, but i'll look cool in my ignorance

i accidentally found some awesome photos of it too...now i'm pining...and i don't get it for aaaages because i have to wait til my birthday!!

what do we reckon the chances are of me sneakily getting it early?
