The citizen will be pretty much Bombproof, whilst the TWSteels might get you mistaken for Eddie Jordan. I know which i'd prefer.

I got a chinese automatic that looked very similar to the Canteen for £10 from the 'bay


As an aside, our recognition at work watches are atrocious compared to that selection!

I have a 50mm TW Steel Canteen that I bought on a whim after returning from working offshore. I've also got a Citizen Blue-Angels Ltd Edition Chronograph.

The TW Steel is a nice watch but the Citizen is in a different league.

That second Citizen is a really nice watch.

Personally, and for almost no reason, I wouldn't touch Designer brand watches.

I agree.

I don't touch designer brand watch as well, just telling what my choice from my employer.

Currently deciding on between Citizen CA0467-03E and Citizen BN0110-06E Royal Marines Commando.

For what it's worth, I'd have the Royal Marines one. Looks tough as feck and I'd stick a dark brown leather strap on it to tart it up.

Easy decision: Citizen BN0110-06E


It is a brilliantly well engineered watch and is pretty rare in the grand scheme of things. It has an interesting case design and being titanium will be nice and light too.

I had the cheaper version of the Citizen you're looking at, the Territorial Army. A great watch also, worth considering.

Is that really what they do with them?

The cheaper ones than that are "Catering Corps" or something?

Kids versions are "CCF"?

Brilliant!
