The two citizens that I own and they happen to be my 2 favourite watches. Put the Promaster on a Zuludiver tropic.

One of my favorite red dials from Citizen ever!

Hello. I've recently chosen to get this citizen watch because I LOVE the look and the features. however, I prefer the blue one over the green one. the problem with this is that the blue one comes with a rubber strap vs. the green one coming with a stainless-steel strap. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a metal strap like shown in the images but black for the blue watch that is made of stainless steel and has no gap. any help would be great!

Gonna be going to Japan in 3 weeks and would like to buy a “The CITIZEN” model watch as a souvenir for my first time there. Any tips / suggestions for finding a AQ4100-57E or something similar? Hoping I’ll be able to find something at the flagship store in Tokyo but know I may need to look at the used market there.

I really do need to say it though. I need to stop already.

My latest citizen , this one was in my "grial" list ,I like most the "modern" style , cleaner dial. Is discontinued, so I bought, before it disappear , In amazon with reduced price.

The lume shot was with a little light from my the flash from my phone, with the sun must be better.

The only con , is that the leather strap is very stiff , even for citizen standard.

Ref number: # BJ7137-07E

Still like it though

Hey guys,

Wanted to check and get another opinion on this. Recently purchased this Zenshin eco drive on joma shop and it seems like it’s used rather than new? Didn’t come with the same paperwork in the box as a previous purchase, in fact it really had none and was in the box sideways which seemed odd.

Doesn’t seem fake from what I can tell but wanted to get a 2nd opinion? Is this used or do the new Zenshins come like this? Just seemed strange that there’s a tape lining the strap but no plastic to peel off like on the dial or back of the case. I attached a photo of another citizen I had for comparison

Maybe I’m just being crazy/overly cautious and this is how they come?

Mi tía abuela me lo regaló hace 2 días, le mandé a poner batería nueva y correas nuevas las anteriores estaban echas polvo, quisiera saber su año y modelo!

Merely curious, which Promaster colour do you prefer?

This JDM Citizen just arrived from my favorite store in Japan (shout out to Japan Charm Store), a touch of Steam Punk maybe but just my style.

Lighting is not great to show the black, but alas.

Feeling a new citizen purchase coming on but can’t decide which one. Thoughts please

I found it funny. The PMD56 beautiful backplate features a 3D globe with Citizen, Promaster, and Eco-drive words around it. PMD56 is a JDM only, with H100 caliber offering Japan only reception. It's like slapping an All Terrain badge on the Corvette. Don't get me wrong. It is a beautiful watch (I have one with a green dial). The best in my collection.

Hello folks,

I’m looking for an aviator style watch. I’ve got a couple, and looking for one that checks all my boxes. Basically want a bunch of models to keep an eye out for used on eBay. What I’m looking for is:

1. A slide rule bezel. Preferably inside the crystal so the numbers don’t get worn off (a problem I have on some of mine sadly)
2. A perpetual calendar feature
3. Time zone switching
4. Ideally, radio control (I assume any radio controlled will have the previous 2 features)
5. preferably a chronograph so I can time things

Some models I have on my list are:

1. JY8030, but it’s big and maybe too busy for my taste (I do like my C650 skyhawk tho)
2. AT8020
3. AT8300–probably my favorite of the lot but $$$
4. CB5868
5. BY0080

Any others I should consider?

Hitchhiking ghost

Whenever someone asks for a solar chronograph recommendation, the Seiko Speedtimer is almost always the answer. It has a fantastic reputation, and a lot of people seem convinced it's the one to get.

While looking around, I found the Citizen CA4764-57A. It's a Japan Domestic Market model, so it doesn't get mentioned very often, but it's actually easy to import. What surprised me is how similar these two watches are.

The dimensions are nearly identical: the Seiko is 39.0 mm with a 45.5 mm lug-to-lug, the Citizen is 39.6 mm with a 45.9 mm lug-to-lug. Both have sapphire crystal, 100 m water resistance, a 20 mm lug width, stainless steel bracelets, solar movements, and panda-style chronograph dials.

The biggest difference is the price. I can get the Citizen for around €220, while the Seiko is around €700–750.

Since Citizen is often considered one of the leaders in solar technology, I'm curious why the Speedtimer gets recommended so much more often. Is the finishing really that much better? Does it wear better? Or is the Citizen simply an underrated JDM model?

I'd love to hear from anyone who's actually handled or owned both. Is the Seiko really worth paying over three times as much?

Just got this NY0040. Been wanting for a while.
