Seeing That We're Talking About Watches

[Jeff '79]

So I ordered this one for $198.00 from a jeweler in Bentonville AK.
I won't be diving more than 90' and wanted something a bit more dressy than your typical dive watch. It should do fine for a daily driver.

I used Aqualands exclusively. But then again almost all of my dives have been inwarm water.

It does not keep perfect time but it winds automatically when worn.

An automatic citizen is a bit odd, eco-drive is their wheelhouse. I had to look this one up as I didn't know Citizen even made an auto.

Seiko SKX007 or SKX009, they are fantastic watches for the money. I have watches that are 30x the price, and my SKX still gets a lot of wrist time, A LOT. -- They are discontinued now, but there are still millions of them out there.


Either that or spend a tiny bit more and get a Hamilton Mechanical Field Watch.

I'm a big Hamilton fan... x-winds.

If you don’t want to buy online for fear of the watch not being what it’s advertised. Go to your local pawn shops or jewelry stores and see what they have to offer.

So I did get it from Amazon but actually from this place.

Great reviews and for under $200 all in ? I'm good with that.
