    Hmmm Eco-drive? Isn't that one of those self winding jobbies? You have to be careful with those. I had a seiko kinetic and after a vigourous Anne Frank I ended up on the year 3000.

    It was ok, not much has changed, but we live underwater

  • The watch is broken, it's telling the wrong time.

    Gutted.
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    I like that. No pissing about, it's just the time, wrist mounted. Perfect.

    The other one looks like it was either very very expensive or £13.99 from Argos.

    it is a lovely thing in the flesh but it is deliberately different to the citizen.

    sometimes i like a gadgety watch, sometimes i like something a bit cleaner looking but generally i like large watches in a typically diver style (lets ignore the fact that i cant dive)

    the citizen is a fliping whopper, about 50mm across and is a watch ive wanted for ages, it snt subtle in style for sure, but it isnt subtle on my arm either!

    i used to like the idea of pricey watches, stuff like omegas and breitlings but after saving the money for an omega once upon a time, i tried one on and couldnt bring myself to part with so much monies for a time piece. i love to see them and often they are really tactile and attractive objects but i couldnt spank that kind of money on a watch. the citizen was 400 quid and is pretty much my limit on a watch.

    as for the picture itself, im very pleased with it, i took it with the new camera which im very much enjoying using.

    i suppose photographers would already know this but to take that picture, i had to do it in a virtually lightless room and left the shutter open for 8 seconds. i cant believe it actually produced an image at all as you couldnt really see anything on the view finder.
  • I on the other hand am a diver and have used citizen dive watches for years.
    Cracking watches that have never given me a problem. good choice.

    i looked at expensive ones-put off by the cost to get them serviced/repaired.

    Citizen is just a mess of functions in my opinion, a really muddled design.

    I've got a few fancy pants watches but no fancy camera to picture them, it's an expensive hobby!

    I've just been on www.watchradar.com next door and there's a really off topic thread about which lights are best for cycling.

    if i was a wealthier man, id be very interested in some expensive watch brands, i love the look of some IWC watches especially the big pilot watches but alas, im too poor/pikey!

    Now that's a great site :D

    P.s. on the timepiece side of things have you seen the nice plain stuff from danish design? Not silly money either.

    thse are really nice looking, i like the big chronogrph ones.
  • The professional designers watch is lovely, but for £200 i went for the one that has its own dive computer integrated. Not sure if there is much point in a divers watch that is effectively a normal watch but can withstand greater pressure.

    There is a very nice Breitling that comes with a free Aston Martin. The watch acts as the key for it. well cool.

    You mean the JLC amvox that doesn't come with an Aston.
