......or should that be acquired?

Available to collect (after paying VAT, etc) tomorrow, so for now this will have to suffice until I've taken my own photos of it.




Fancied a bit of rose gold, and been contemplating this one since late August when it went on Citizen US' website.
After speaking with Citizen UK and learning that the 5-yr warranty is valid over here too, and that they have the ability to service mechanical movements, it would've been far too rude not to.
After a bit more dithering, due to a 4-5 yo Perrelet being in the frame, I've decided to opt for this.
My first ever Citizen, and I can't wait to see how it looks in the flesh.

A big thank you to Joe at Arizona Fine Time, who put up with my dithering – but I got there in the end! – and provided some taster photos when they received their two units.....not exactly mass produced by the sounds of it.

Could quite possibly be the only one in the country at this point in time.

Oi...you....fancy knickers......less of the insults! Pfft......Planet Sea Dweller.....how very dare you mention such a thing in MY thread!

It's 42mm and er...it has....er....a windowed caseback and a funky clasp mechanism.....and er......a 28,800 vph movement by Miyota (which Citizen owns – so effectively in-house like Perrelet and Soprod).

Probably easier if I link this owner's photos of the one he purchased – http://forum.watch.ru/showthread.php?t=193865 – and mention the model number, NB0046-51L.

Oh, and the links are screwed rather than pinned, and the hands are lumed, with some more between the batons and the rehaut/chapter ring.

I should think that's a very handsome watch in 42mm ; got the feeling it was a lot more delicate than that.

Look forward to seeing the back of it, is the Miyota decorated much?

Perhaps it's a case of, "if you can't say something nice..."

Ever since getting his big boy watch, in titanium no less, that Yeti one has become a cheeky beggar!

Ignore them if YOU like it. If anyone says they'd rather not know the time than wear that, ignore them. And any comments about Hush Puppies, ironing creases in your jeans or Saga holidays ignore them too.

To be fair those last photos really do the watch justice. The first one you posted makes it look pretty bog standard.

Indeed. The first pic looks a bit Argos.
The later pics looks very swish. Enjoy it!
