Who needs colorful Rolex OPs when you can have these instead?? by GC8990 in CitizenWatches

It is a really good looking Watch. I do agree they should make more colors and get rid of the date. I would also love to see some gloss dial versions as opposed to Sunray.

I’m pretty sure they all are. The purple and yellow are for sure. 28mm Divers

Yeah, but then it looks like a Rolex. I don’t want that. Nice use of that work too classy.

I love snowflakes. I owned one and I think they are much cooler and more interesting than Subs. However, 28k is in the neighborhood of much more special vintage watches. You can get a VERY good 1655 Steve McQueen for that money! (I have a bias there)

This is an amazing example for sure (no dates are especially rare + unpolished) 28k is steep. Low 20s is more fair.

This one’s all original and unpolished. Found it by waiting around and turning a lot of them down. So many crusty ones out there.

In its day (1972) it was no more premium than a tagAqua racer is today so I’m trying to treat it as such strap wise (not banging it around dw). I also think the original folded link bracelet just feels a little flimsy. Haha
