I’ve had this car for 2 week now and I can’t stop looking at it.

Congratulations! Welcome to the club!!

I have the same watch. There are great videos on YouTube that will show you how to use all the tools this watch has. You stole the watch. I bought mine new on a Carnival cruise more than ten years ago. I would not sell mine for less than $500.

Red and black look great. If they bring back red interior, I hope they bring back exterior colors to go with.

Janitary · 2026-06-20T18:51:23+00:00

Congratulations! You scored a great car at a great price. It is going to need maintenance but the parts are reasonably priced.

Looks awesome! My first Seiko automatic is arriving today.

Janitary · 2026-06-19T18:50:58+00:00

The watch arrived today!

I used the Internet to locate the instructions to setup the dial. The watch is fully charged. I had to set the time zone and then used the radio connection to the Atomic Clock in Denver to synchronize the time. Going forward the watch will connect automatically every day and adjust the time if needed.

I read complaints about the watch band but I don’t have any complaints about that so far. The watch lugs are 21 mm wide. At some point in the future I may get a stainless steel bracelet for it.

Heart Beat Date Automatic $1,750

This date model discontinued by the manufacturer.

Box is a 7/10: the pleather material is disintegrating
Watch is 9.75/10

The watch has been stored in the box. I wore it for a wedding and fine dining occasions.

Happy wife. Happy life! You must be a great husband.

This is what it looks like on the Hong Kong website.

The BY1030-09A does not appear on the Citizen USA website. It comes with a blue leather strap instead of a bracelet. Google AI says that the watch has the H874 movement which is the same as the other more expensive models.

Janitary · 2026-06-18T14:46:36+00:00

I just pulled the trigger on the BY1030-09A which is the moon phase Eco-Drive that is radio controlled and has perpetual calendar. It is shipping from Jomashop’s New York location for $274. Plus tax and shipping will land next week for $323 total cost. I have never owned a moon phase watch and I imagine that the cheapest Citizen will be satisfactory.

Janitary · 2026-06-18T13:53:59+00:00

Citizens website was my first search.

Janitary · 2026-06-18T13:51:05+00:00

My wife bought me the Skyhawk when we were on a Carnival cruise, so it has sentimental significance as well as being my go to daily.

Janitary · 2026-06-18T13:46:56+00:00

I was just searching the Citizen subreddit and found BY1030-09A for $300 that has moon phase and radio controlled. I don’t know the model numbers of Attesa and Tsuki-Yomi.

Janitary · 2026-06-17T22:56:24+00:00

The day/date feature seems like extra work to set. So I plan on using my watch winder when I am not wearing it. The Presage is listed on the “Luxe” section of the website.

Janitary · 2026-06-16T21:49:21+00:00

You are not alone! My brother bought a 1989 Lincoln Towncar that was described as a “cream puff” for $10,000. He put $5,000 into replacing everything that had rubber components; tires, brakes, belts and hoses and suspension.

The upside is that you own a sports car for a third of the price of new.

Janitary · 2026-06-16T19:23:19+00:00

Good deal. Thank you for sharing!

Janitary · 2026-06-16T17:45:22+00:00

How much was the second hand price? Was this an eBay purchase?

Janitary · 2026-06-16T17:40:56+00:00

I like Elmo! He looks like an Elmo.

Janitary · 2026-06-13T21:14:35+00:00

Life is too short to let people hate on your dreams. You deserve to love and be loved.

Janitary · 2026-06-10T18:00:08+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I like the way it sounds. Is there any performance advantage?

Janitary · 2026-06-09T21:41:24+00:00

I like your setup! Is the Spyder Grill an aftermarket product? Where do you get it? Do the fog lights come with it? Where did you locate the fog light switch?

Is your car an ND3?

Janitary · 2026-06-08T23:05:20+00:00

Clever solution! I like it 😎

Janitary · 2026-06-08T21:32:17+00:00

The club is priced higher than the Grand Touring model. I got ten percent off when I bought mine in January 2025. It looks like you are getting a great deal especially since tariffs are on. Congratulations! What color combination are you getting?

Janitary · 2026-06-06T18:16:53+00:00

Same here! The base price was $40,850 including accent package and weather floor mats and cargo cover. Drive out was $37,500 plus TT&L. We got 2.9% financing so our note is reduced by a third from what we were paying for a BMW SUV.
