I promise, I'm not a spy from Citizen. I'm just a curious guy who is new to the hobby. I often watch YouTube videos about watches and it's very common to see "10 AFFORDABLE WATCHES YOU MUST BUY!" or a Teddy Bulbasaur video that says "This watch is super affordable & has an entry level price point" then the watch is $595. Hell, right now I'm watching a video about Citizen & the list is saying affordable is under $1000. My limit currently is $250 for a watch. MAYBE, if I save for a bit I'll raise it to 300. (Disclaimer: I'm in Japan so $250 goes much further. I have a Seiko 5 cement for $120ish.)

I know we all come from different backgrounds and have different financial situations. "Affordable" for you may not be affordable for me. That is perfectly fine. I'm just very curious as when collections are shown in this sub, I like to Google the watch. Often times it's a multi thousand dollar watch.

Thank you all & I'm looking forward to hearing your stories.

That requires a little more patience. You’re able to save a couple hundred at a time; keep saving a little longer and you too can be purchasing them, too.

That Seiko in the top right is a stunner

The slim tuna! Really overlooked piece.

Thanks! You wouldn’t happen to have the ref code? I tried looking the model up online but couldn’t see anything similar to yours. Definitely going on the “Watch watch list”

How do you like your Citizen Chronograph? I’ve been eyeing that exact model for about 6 months.

[–] Pizzadontdie@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Willing to sell it for cheap lol. It’s a little too bulky for me.

Always been a fan of the slim turtle but haven’t been able to rationalize getting it over a turtle? How do you like it?

I have one two, and it’s amazing and gets a ton of wrist time. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills not seeing then everywhere.

Which Seiko is the one in the bottom row, right in the middle ? If you don’t mind me asking. It looks amazing.
