[@cojomo123]

Absolutely gorgeous watch,lovely colour.I’ve got three citizens, all solar and love them all solar😎👍🍻.

[@TheWatchScore]

Love solar watches! Mine are all from Casio but I crave one of those high-end moshi rice paper dial "The Citizen"!

[@grayboy9133]

That’s a great looking everyday watch

[@bendeguzbagosi2385]

Usually i dont find citizens particularly exciting, however these are pretty cool imo

[@fungus70]

Citizen made these series with lotsa bling. Looks more expensive than it is. Very nice.

[@drbobsnightmare2521]

Citizen is very underrated. And you're busy making a lot of content. You should have more subscribers. I think you will hit a growth spurt soon.

5 30 pm 5th no lovely eye catching face. 👌👍

[@ericdettwiler5656]

Nice watch - what is the model number to identify it ? Keep on doing these nice reviews, love it ! … and I would be overhappy to be gifted a watch from your channel 👍

[@TheWatchScore]

Thanks! NH8390

[@rafaelgalue3951]

It is a crystal seven 1965 model reissued, so that model is collectible. Beautiful and a bang for the buck. Just got the blue one wich also happens to be stunning

[@awelen]

Hmm... really need to add a "dress watch" to my collection.

[@BaronEvola123]

Dress watches are making a comeback. Clean lines go with everything.

[@TheWatchScore]

I totally agree! So tired of the Rolex-bezelled-tool-watch-clone style. Surely I’m not the only one.

Presage death

[@FlorinC1984]

This is actually a very good alternative to the Bambino, which have become stupidy expensive lately, I mean like 300 EUR for the open-heart versions! Even the Tsuyosa Citizens are cheaper than some of the blue, green and ruby dial Bambinos!

[@TheWatchScore]

I really don't get the hype for the Orient Bambino 💁‍♂

[@FlorinC1984]

@@TheWatchScore , the Bambino was actually very good value for the 2021 prices. I bought a 36mm rose gold Bambino for my wifer for 95 EUR and she loves it. It is impeccably built and even the unimpressive movement is impressively engraved with details that require a magnifying glass to observe. But come 2022-2023, the prices for the Bambinos (and the Orient Divers) have gone to hell! 250-350EUR? I don't think so! Citizen, anyone?

[@ernestoguevara2110]

I bought this model with a green dial and a brown leather strap. Kind of serves as a replacement for a watch that got stolen out of one my shoes while i was swimming in a river,in the summer of '87. It was just two weeks before i left my homecountry Romania for good. My mother,my brother and me had been given permission to leave,our country still being a communistic dictatory by that time,after my father managed to escape two years prior. That watch that someone stole on a riverbank out of my shoe in Caransebeṣ,37 years ago,is one that i would have loved to have in my watch collection for it was my first watch ever. My mother gifted it to me when i was eight years of age. It was a bulgarian one with a dark green dial,black leather strap and a handwinding movement. This beautiful Citizen timepiece almost had me forget that loss,being way more beautiful than the one mentioned. Just cannot take my eyes off of that amazing green dial. Hearty greetings from Germany Ronald Oprea

[@brocklanders6969]

Beautiful dial. Wish the crystal wasn't mineral, but at the low price it is worth considering. To bad they cut corners like that. I would rather have quartz, thinner and sapphire. While this series leans dressy, I think the leather stitching on the ban gives it a more casual look. Certainly not a sports watch, but fine for casual everyday wear, business casual and business.

[@mariosimas]

has a alternative in this pricepoint you also have the Timex Marlin Automatic 40mm

[@tomp4069]

I have this green beauty , I love this green dial.

[@shiraz1736]

Surely Citizen could improve the look and glide of that rotor.

[@khonjel_singh]

I know the feeling of getting the "bug". It's fortunate that I'm piss poor otherwise I'd blow through my savings to crave the bug. BTW have a check at Orient Bambino line. Best budget dress watch line imo

[@TheWatchScore]

Yeah Bambino is very popular, I’m aware! It just never fell on my radar yet, maybe I haven’t yet seen a dial that took my attention

[@kristoffertvedtskramest9550]

Love Citizen! I have a Eco Drive Promaster myself. No complaints at all

[@juliocarrasco7164]

I used to have Citizen watches when I was a kid, until I became a teen! I LOVE THEM!

[@AG-tk1qs]

I have collected watches for many years and rotate my collection every 3 or 4 months. It is soon my birthday and my sons asked what I would like, and the above watch is the answer. It will be the only watch they will buy me. This is a special watch and will be more special from my sons. I have just come across your channel and enjoy the enthusiasm you emit in your videos. Keep it up .And remember "so many watches but only 2 arms".

[@TheWatchScore]

That's heartwarming! I'm sure you'll love it. And yes, just 2 arms is such a terrible tragedy, I wish I was an octopus and sometimes I wonder what if I started wearing watches on ankles..

[@tucoramirez5674]

i will get this green one its fantastic

[@ddayblue]

its nearly perfect. Dont like the crossline 😅

[@mrmeesix7949]

great vid. can you tell me what the strap is on the blue one? thanks

[@TheWatchScore]

Sure! It’s this one: amzn.to/3AJmz48 (the link is safe! It’s my Amazon partner link directly to the strap you see in the video)

[@archievthapa3593]

Mind blowing !!!

[@kurtismohlman5596]

Love the dials on both of them. Very well done.

[@shaunkelly3562]

Hmm, I hadn't seen these nicely designed Citizens before, so changes my thinking about this brand! Thanks for the information.

[@TheWatchScore]

Citizen has real hidden gems that they don't really market so much in the west.. but in Japan for example they compete directly even with Grand Seiko!

[@rcrxjlb]

Looks like a vintage Orient.

[@alanwright3172]

great viand a very nice watch😁

[@md.muhiuddinf.siddiquee3639]

Great watch for 150

[@houthaifaalamiri1462]

i like the color

[@hvacae6904]

Citizen is my first automatic watch that i bought for myself. But unfortunately it was lost. I will buy citizen again in future

[@RampartPh]

reminds me of the tsuyosa somewhat

[@TheWatchScore]

Tsuyosa is great!

[@matrixbday]

i really value the day complication in a watch for everyday use

[@podrikpo]

Model number for the First watch. the one with just date number (no day)??

[@TheWatchScore]
