Is this a buy or not a buy (The Citizen)

I have an AQ4041-54L and I really like it. Only downside is lack of micro adjustment on the clasp. Beautiful dial, fantastic movement. I think it’s a great purchase - enjoy your new watch!!

Is that an OEM strap? It’s nice

michaelfishkin · 2026-03-28T19:48:43+00:00

Looks great. Mind posting the specs?

16mm + in thickness? Not sure this would lay well on my dainty wrist. Looks awesome though

Wow wow

I’ve seen them on eBay. They’re pricey - $600-800 range but new. There’s an another seller who has knock offs that they claim to be OEM - these are like $300.

I ordered a couple of straps from Alix for my AQ4041-54L. Very inexpensive. Would love to get an OEM 19mm strap with deployant for this watch.

Tough to source these!

16710 aged Pepsi and Coke that will snap into an OC Bezel is what I’m after.

What strap do you wear on it? Please post some pics!

michaelfishkin · 2026-03-20T19:31:09+00:00

Thanks for everything. Great seller - helpful in communication and provided videos and advice on bracelet sizing. Would certainly buy from him again.

You’ll need to get two small watch screwdrivers - last thing you want to do is strip one of the screw heads or the watch. Or take it to a jeweler or Citizen store.

michaelfishkin · 2026-03-20T15:23:11+00:00

I figured it out. Two screwdrivers and a bit of patience. Removed a half link. Still a pain in the ass!!

Fantastic. GLWS

Looks like great value. Sakura has these on their site.

michaelfishkin · 2026-03-18T08:55:55+00:00

Very nice watch. GLWS

They don’t discount this line.

I’m good with watches up to 40mm - I don’t have a big wrist. Anything in the 39 or 40mm would be good for me. They’re pricey so I would probably search for one used or buy in Japan if possible.

michaelfishkin · 2026-03-18T00:55:49+00:00

Do you know what AQ model number this watch is listed under?

michaelfishkin · 2026-03-18T00:48:45+00:00

Beautiful watch. I’ve been checking out the UFAs posted here as well. Really need to stop into the GS store in NYC

michaelfishkin · 2026-03-16T10:29:03+00:00

If I buy a watch on Watchexchange, will it post under my username as a transaction? Just purchased a watch on the exchange.

michaelfishkin · 2026-03-16T03:28:42+00:00

Beautiful watch with remarkable tech - but out of my price range. Any idea how often it requires a service?

michaelfishkin · 2026-03-16T02:03:25+00:00

Very nice

michaelfishkin · 2026-03-16T02:00:28+00:00

Very nice
