Citizen Auto Showdown! - Comparing The Tsuyosa to JDM NB1050

In this video I go over the similarities and differences between these two Citizen automatics. The more expensive NB1050 is a JDM model and lesser known than the popular Tsuyosa NJ0150.

Thank you for the nice comparison. I have just purchased a teal Tsuyosa for my father and am seriously tempted to get this version of the NB1050 for myself. That blue looks fantastic in any videos I have seen.

The NB1050- watches are currently going for less than USD$300 (as at March 2024) at discount stores in Japan. There are four dial colour variations: black, blue, grey, white. Some people seem to think the white is more like silver, but it seems to be white to me. The tsuyosa is also sold in Japan but does not have as many colour variations as overseas markets. Note that Citizen and Seiko both market models that are sold overseas only, so if a Japanese buyer wants one they have to re-import it from an overseas dealer, with similar warranty problems. The reverse situation for overseas buyers wishing for a JDM model. I think the NB1050 is a better deal than the tsuyosa because it has a much better movement, finishing and bracelet, for not much more cost, and the tsuyosa in my mind is too big. Best wishes from Nagano-ken, Japan

I'm confused which one I should pick.. either Seiko SSC813 or this NB1050 .. both watch prices are literally the same on my country.. I have 6inch wrist .. The blue dial on the NB1050 is really stunning..

[@bjornrosenzweig8535]

Depends if you want an automatic or a quarz. I would, personally, choose the SSC 813 since I already have a lot of automatic watches. Also the build quality of the SSC813 is superb.

[@thomasjarmstrong]

Those are two very different watches, but I would go with the panda SSC813.

[@RabbitWatchShop]

True concerning the warranty. Seiko USA didn't honor the warranty for my terrible JDM SBDC101. It even says in the warranty booklet: only valid in Japan. The same probably applies with the Citizen.

[@stefpix]

Citizen offers 1 year international warranty, and 5 year of domestic warranty if bought from an authorized dealer nationally.

[@RabbitWatchShop]

@stefpix Yes. But we are talking JDM models, not models sold internationally. Does your statement apply to watches only sold in Japan? That's what we are discussing.

[@stefpix]

@@RabbitWatchShop Citizen USA replaced the crystal to an old BM6400 and a BN0000 that I had bought used. So they have the parts. I bought Citizen watches from Europe, not sold in the USA, they come with a 1 year CItizen worldwide warranty card, NY0040, that I like better than the Fugu and are not sold in the USA.

Does the nb1050 overhang more on the wrist? Although it's a smaller diameter watch, the lug to lug including the male endlinks sounds like a lot at 52mm. Is there a sensible size difference when wearing them?

[@watchify1775]

Doesn't overhang on my wrist. Might on a below 6 inch wrist. The Tsuyosa feels rounder. Citizen is going to come out with more colors of Tsuyosa. Orange dial will be one of them 😁
