I wanted a nice Citizen in my collection, have two now, one Eco, one auto. Not a big quartz fan, but an Eco-drive is a bit more special now isn’t it. I agree, my Eco-drive is very accurate, checked it just now (have owned it for about a month) it’s +2 seconds. Not too shabby 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The inlay is actually a piece of wood! Can you imagine that. : ). Love the strap. Smells of quality leather and soft and wrist hugging. I think its quite under-rated. There is a 15% summer discount now, with free DHL shipping. Came in 8 days. If it can get to me in Aus, it will get anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every night around 3am it contacts the regional atomic clock (see where it notes usa eur chn jpn) and syncs itself to the data. Citizen uses that to claim +/- 1 sec per 100,000 years That Yema is just beautifontico! Ever since Solkry came in here flashing his about I've been on the prowl. Love the colors you chose! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a couple of Promasters now and theres definitely more on the horizon, great quality. Not bothered by the quartz thing, always need something to set my other watches by. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In house movement in the model I want is a big thing for me too. Adds that little bit extra. I’m in Australia too mate, Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
