Going to get a Citizen

Ok, so I'm going to get a Citizen to hold me over until I have saved up the funds for my Rolex. I have a friend that can get me any Citizen I want at cost. So here's what I've narrowed it down to:







Which one of these would you want to see on a woman's wrist?

IMHO, I would choose the top one, it just looks good, the one in the middle clashes too much.

Go with the Seiko at the bottom - quality far surpasses Citizen!

agree, the seiko skx009 that you have pictured at the bottom is easily the best of that bunch! it's a mechanical with the 7s26 movement, while the two citizens pictured are eco-drives (i believe?). the citizens will be more accurate, the seiko will last longer.

The Seiko at the bottom without a doubt! That would be an excellent classic watch and would serve you well for years to come. I think you would be amazed by its quality for the price!

Well, I took everyone's advice and got a Seiko! I ordered the SKX0232K2 Automatic Dive Watch. I loved the blue and red bezel but I decided the black bezel would be more versatile. :)



Thanks to mailman for telling me about bluedial.com! Thanks again all of your help!

Shelley, before I saw your choice I was going to suggest the Seiko but with an all black bezel!!!!! Great minds think alike girl! The all black is definitely more versatile! I look forward to seeing your photos!
