More shiny than the old Citizen, I don't care for shiny on a utility watch (should be more matte IMO) but I'll get used to it. 40mm case is a bit bigger, so face is easier to read. Leather NATO on it here but something else is on the way. Good watch for under $60.
I already had that pattern with bolder colors, available pretty much anywhere, but came across this one from a seller in Puerto Rico. The colors are muted and washed out. Figured it would be used when I got it but it came new in its factory wrapper. I prefer this one.
Here is my daily driver on a new band. It's gray market 42mm Citizen eco-drive on a 22mm nato band and much lighter than the 47mm diver.
From the local $4 rescue bin. New battery, quick polish, added a Barton waxed cotton band, and it's good to go. For a cheap Timex quartz, this one has a reputation as a reliable timekeeper that's hard to kill.
Just arrived. An older, used Invicta Swiss quartz, slightly smaller then the one I recently purchased new. It's a little dinged up (adds character) but the face has fewer shiny appointments and that's fine with me. Good price too. I think that I won't be wearing the new one.
Lige and the like are cheap Chinese watches (Rolex knock offs) - some made better than others and go as low as 3 bucks. You can get Lige and a ton off other branded and unbranded watches from AliExpress. I'd get one but I don't like those big ass watches nowadays - some look like those Flavor Flav used to wear around his neck.
My problem with those cheap Chinese watches is that the ones that look like my Rolex watches are all quartz.. I prefer automatic/ perpetual movements...
You are entitled to buy what you like . I'm happy with my purchase knowing I was not buying a Rolex but a cheap watch. 42mm is not a big watch unless you have an awful tiny wrist.
Hmmm 35 bucks vs 3500. I didnt expect much for what I paid . Who would blow that much for something that does the same simple function. It tells you the time .
