    Well not strictly three 6400's as I have this one as well (but this one has got the 'Promaster' logo dial and is on a bracelet so that's different enough for me...)

    I've had one of these before but could not resist this when I saw it looking sorry for itself on eBay with a smashed crystal

    Had the batteries changed a little while ago, pleasantly surprised it passed the pressure test (100m) without problems.

    Lovely 29
    Here are my 2- the C020 is very strange - the seconds don't seem to add up but it keeps good time (analogue) I think a cool watch and always gets a few looks
    I feel I can only keep one

    I've only ever owned a couple of Citizens and both were NY00 divers which I really liked. That is until I ordered one of these a few days ago....

    ....which hasn't arrived yet but I'll post again when it does. I'm sure it'll be lovely but can it replace my Seiko SNZG013J?

    Nice photos, particularly the first one.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    I've changed watched four times today, but had this one on earlier. It's really taken a beating in the last three years, but still in decent shape, despite fairly heavy crystal gouges.

    A basic standard Eco drive chronograph. My only watch that lives on a shelf where it can get some light. Its also been running continuously for at least five years now. What kind of maintenance do these eco drives need?

    Very nice, I've been looking at that one. How's the time keeping?

    Thanks that's excellent, and I see we use the same time app.

    Can’t really beat these for the cost; sapphire, hacking, hand-winding, 200m WR, screw-down crown and versatile on a huge selection of straps.

    I really like these, but already have a couple of divers (similar style) so can’t bring myself to buy another. For the money they represent great value and quality.
    On the other hand, how many divers watches should one own?

    Citizen “Tsuki-Yomi”



    Radio-controlled Moon phase with eco-drive. Titanium head and bracelet.

    Ordered yesterday morning from a retailer based in Breda in the Netherlands and arrived in Edinburgh barely 25 hours later.

    By coincidence I have been looking at these just yesterday! I have a hankering for a moonphase but don't fancy spending loads on one, guess once this is set it's good to go no matter how infrequent the wear too.
    Which colour is that? I'd been looking at grey or possibly blue.
    Where did you get it if you don't mind saying?
    I know it's early days but how are you finding it?
    Cheers.

    Hi J4ckal. I ordered it from this outfit https://www.watch.co.uk/

    Despite the name, they’re based in the Netherlands. Placed the order yesterday morning and it arrived via DHL before 10am today. Sign up for the watch.co.uk website and you’ll get a 5% discount code. The price included VAT so no delays in delivery. First impressions? I don’t regret buying it. Been mulling it over since late last year. The dial is red/“blood moon” and reminiscent of the lunar surface. Get one, you won’t regret it.

    Tough!

    A couple of my recent purchases from SC.

    I had the black version previously and gave that to one to my nephews. As usual, once it was gone I needed another one.

    I had a WTB for out there for ages and now two crop up in the space of a couple of weeks.

    Cracking grab n go watches for me.
