For the replacement, I chose this:

Hmmmmm.....I'm sure they've missed a bit - not all of that dial has been written on!

I'm all for a busy watch face, but that looks as if someone has stuffed all known possible features into their nostrils and sneezed at a watch face! "Yes, that'll do!"

However the face became heavily scratched and was replaced under warranty.

Really? How? Surely that's just badly treating the watch?

I didn't treat it badly at all. In fact, I don't even wear a watch every day!

Thanks a lot for that. Interesting reading - I'm actually trying to work out how to sync the hands and digital as theres about a minute between them at the moment.

When it came to replacing my last watch, the fact that this watch was on offer helped a bit too!
Although, I am currently lusting after a Tissot PRC200 with a black leather strap and yellow second hand.

So they admitted it was poor crystal material?

I can't remember exaclty what they said, but when I commented to the certain high street retailer that I had brought several watches back under warranty due to faults - one highly scratched, another - strap broke, another strap bent although accidental - i'm covered for that too! - they replied that they get a lot of warranty claims so it must be a common thing. I'm now on my fourth watch from the same original money and buying a new warranty every time!

Gears, wires, windings, electric hum, second hand sweep, no crown - what's not to love?

All Citizen? Doesn't sound very good. :/

OK, I quite fancy one of these Monsters everyone seems to speak of

How big are they really? And how heavy?

Chunky but not Panerai-big. Heavier than a plastic G-shock. What are you used to?

No. Seiko - clasp bent by accident. Accurist - strap broke. Seiko - scratched screen. Current Citizen is my first.

OIC. Y'know... there's a common denominator, still...
