Probably not a forum favorite but . . .
I like it, came in the mail today and I am a sucker for textured dials. Japanese and quartz, I can see the eye rolls now

I think it's a nice looking watch! I personally have no problems with Japanese watches, in fact Seiko is one of my favorite brands! While I often prefer mechanical watches, I have a great respect for quartz watches as well! You can't beat the accuracy of a quartz watch!

I like it. Dial reminds me of the Grand Seiko snowflake dial, which I am quite fond of. Don't mind the quartz either depending on the cost.
Good looking piece. No complaints here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Nice watch, it looks like Grand Seiko. I think these two Japan giants are owned by same company

It is part of all the Chronomaster dial designs - a truncated Hour index. With the wide contrasting indices it looks different than the plain ones. For example, a plain black dial looks more like the other indices:  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 Both are public listed corporations in each own right. Citizen has Miyota & Bulova under their umbrella. Seiko gets their movements from both Seiko Instruments & Seiko Epson, 2 competing subsidiaries often making the same end item in parallel at different factory locations. |

Not bad, very much inspired by the Snowflake.

I'm not a snob. I don't think there is anything wrong with a quartz watch. It's a beauty. Congrats!

Thanks everyone. I love how the crystal pretty much looks invisible on this watch and how the words seem to float over the dial. I believe there is a clear layer between the paper dial and the words/indices.

With no brand name to inform them, a lot of people probably assumed this was a cheap watch
 Congrats OP. This must be one of the better quartz pieces money can buy |

Beautiful watch !
I like the dial a bit better than the Snowflake, ( which I think is stunning BTW), because of it's simplicity. I'm just not a fan or the PR sub dial on the Spring Drive models.... |

Not bad, at first I thought the minute hand pretty was very short but went online and see that its just the lighting.
Personally I don't do quartz often because I hate the hassle of changing batteries in watches. I think it might look good on a black strap as well, due to all the white/silver of the watch and bracelet. |

Hands look nice, have a soft spot for Citizen, had a couple when younger.

I'm a snob and I like it. The textured dial is killer.
