Congrats for pulling the trigger on that one. wear that bad boy in good health
Under £50 from a bricks and mortar central Tokyo dealer, with guarantee. I didn't even have to wear a mask!
Full Duratect titanium, 200m WR, perpetual calendar, made in Japan, easy-extending titanium bracelet, DLC bezel and sapphire glass.
Synchs here too.
I almost felt sorry for them
Almost :-)

Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Bargain!
That is rather a lot of watch for the money.
Nice result, I just had a look at the price here, naively I thought I'd treat a pal to on as he like his Citizen's but not at that price
I bet it would look good in new shoes too! If I pulled the trigger any faster on this bad boy you'd have to put me under Citizens arrest. Unwary retailers better "watch out!"
(Some tickets still available)
Ah, thought this was a new model 'nickname'......
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Good looking watch and a cracking buy at that price!
What's the size? I may have to look into one of these...
Subarashii!!! Omedetto gozamiasu.

Well that's a damn fine result. Enjoy that bad boy Paul, you certainly know how to find bargains in Tokyo!
Nice, so how many did you buy???

Well it momentarily prevents me buying more camera stuffOriginally Posted by crazyp
Just the one - it's used in case I wasn't clear. I was browsing a well known used bookstore in Tokyo. They had a selection of watches too, and this one was just titled "Citizen H100". The Duratect treatment means they wear their age well I think. This model has been in the catalogue for years and is still sold new which is a little unusual. I think it found a market. It does what it does very well.

Hehe I've found some zen like piece with cameras and I never strayed vintage which has saved me loads! Must get back into my photography
I like it - good score
It is listed as 38mm or 41mm with crown which seems about right. Weighs 100g on the full bracelet. Also has Citizen's "Perfex" hand-alignment thing, so the nice yellow seconds hand always hits the markers.
Paul
Now that is a bargain!
I like these titanium, Duratect and DLC Citizens they make for great everyday watches. Comfortable, light and yet so durable. With radio reception you never have to adjust the thing ever.
The dial on this is very attractive as well, good looking thing.

Excellent!! Hard to get more bang for the buck.

For civilian (ie, the non-WIS afflicted) use I don't think it gets much better. I suspect though that smart watches will have the same effect on low and mid range timepieces as smart phones have had on low and mid-range cameras.
Meanwhile, a relaxing Sunday morning with a carefree watch and Mr Bean's mug filled with darjeeling. Simple pleasures.

Now that is one nice clean looking bargain you got there.
I keep looking at this watch - I love it!! So clean.
Very jealous.
Thanks.
Good size then. Something to put on the list I think.
was about to start googling like mad, then i saw your later post saying it was used. still a cracking find.love it!
What a great find. Some of the Ti Citizens look fantastic.
It's just a matter of time...
It is still in the retail catalogue, available new. It's been in the range for almost 10 years. Tech has moved on so be aware that the radio synchs only in Japan on this model. There are workarounds for other locations, but it's not exactly hard to set the time once in a while.
The titanium is a little darker than my other Ti watches, presumably due to the Duratect process. Looks nice though and there aren't any scratches on this one (not even the clasp) which suggests they can be a decent used buy.
Obviously only a matter of time before this goes on the appropriate NATO
Paul
Cheap as chips and looking good, who in his right mind wouldn't have put that dealer out of his misery.....:)
Daddel.
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
Nice watch, and well done pulling the trigger!
Enjoy it, particularly when it gets its NATO!
Very well done OP...I bought one of those off Higuchi San a few years ago..cost about £400 if I remember...great daily wearer..unfortunately I sold it (to buy another similar TI daily wearer, an Oceanus)..but missed it and wouldn't hesitate to have another...its a shame it doesn't radio sync in the UK but the time keeping was really good anyway...
I've had mine for a few years now. Bought it from Seiya. Pleased to say it syncs randomly overnight every couple of weeks, and I live in NZ! I just leave it by a west facing window. Cost a lot more than £50 though...
Wow very good find! And price!
great looking watch and you virtually stole it from them price wise !
I've got the green version of this, I imported it a couple of years ago, the coating on the Ti is very hard wearing and doesn't seem to have many marks on it.
The issue surrounding the time sync in the UK is not one that I have worried about, consistently the time keeping is +8 or 9 seconds every 6 months. Equally setting it up is simple, if you follow the instructions - the perpetual calendar is a great feature and once set is set! Currently mine is sat on one of Eddie's two piece nato's (the older version) and is a great summer watch as it is so light.

Me too!
It's excellent value for money and I really like the look of it.
Bottom line to this thread - 'Dear Citizen, please update the sync stuff and sell it internationally. Thanks'
What a bargain. Very nice everyday watch with a decent Nato on. I used to have Ti watch, but regret selling it.
