I have this watch now for about a year. I can find now flaw so far. The size is perfect and lume is great. The Coke is more appealing to me than the Pepsi bezel. Also Coke bezel is the more rare combination on dive watches. It looks great on a red rubber strap.

Red rubber strap sounds like it would look awful.

I’ve owned this watch for a few months now, and I agree with the review. I’m ok with no bracelet, it’s easy to purchase a decent after-market one anyway. My only negative: lume could be better
@BasicallyWatches3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your sharing your thoughts Shawn! Did you end up getting an aftermarket bracelet? I have seen a few people put it on some nice metal bracelets. Also do check out my other video here where I compare the loom against 2 other watches. kzbin.info/www/bejne/maaYk5ylpNJkhbs

Oh I forgot to add that I just put one on layby NY0086-83L which is a pepsi with bracelet. For $295 down from $599 I instantly fell in love more so with its feel of quality. Good decision no regrets. Hopefully it serves me well.

I just got the same coke variant. Accuracy is good too at +5 seconds a day. My only concern is the handwinding is a little bit stiffer on my Ny0085 compared to my Ny0040, just don't know why its like that considering they've got the same movment.

Good review, well done. But no lume shot? Citizen is slowly winning my heart away from Seikos. I just hope they take their automatic movements a bit more serious and build an extensive range. Looking forward to their more high end chronographs and divers with automatic movements as Seiko does with their PROSPEX range.
