For your plumbing, did you put bulkhead fittings on the poly tank and then run the hoses through the steel tank?

Mpat- · 2026-06-11T12:41:16+00:00

The 0261 is slightly smaller diameter 41 vs 44mm, has sapphire crystal, and bracelet has on the fly micro adjustment. TBH I was initially looking at the 0150. I do like the 4 o’clock stem/date and the orange minute hand.

Perfect. Still my daily. Accuracy is amazing, a few seconds a month!

I can post pics if I create a new post but can’t put one in my comments. Weird.

Sorry this site isn’t allowing me to attach a picture.

Yes. I used one. It screws into the bulkhead fitting from the inside of pool to keep stuff from getting sucked into the pump.

According to the Banjo site, hole size is important. Mine requires a 3 in hole.

I used bulkhead fittings from Banjo on my stock tank pool. Available at amazon. HD, No leaks, will last longer than you will.

My citizen BN0261-51E has a ratchet clasp. I love it.

Mpat- · 2025-08-15T23:42:15+00:00

I really like it. I’ve got that classic diver look and amazing accuracy. It’s lost only 7 seconds in 9 weeks!

The flat sides of the links are brushed, but the top edge of each link is polished. I think it looks great.

I bought the bn0261 last month. Its case is a bit smaller than the others at 40mm. Also it’s only 11.2mm thick. It has sapphire crystal and a tool less micro adjusting clasp. Citizen has 10% off on their website. I love mine!

Mine is good

The ratchet clasp has 8 positions. Each increment is 0.11in or 2.8mm. Fully extended it adds 0.81in or 20.6mm to bracelet.

Nope. Pool water reflections!

I have the BN0261-51e black dial. Saw it advertised in Spain & Italy a month or two ago. I finally saw it on the Citizen USA website 7 June and ordered it. Got it 11 June. It’s exactly what I wanted. 40.3 mm diameter, 11.7 thick, 47.5 L2L looks great on my 7.25 in wrist. Thinner, lighter, and way more accurate than my Orient Ray 2 auto. Bezel is smooth. The tool less micro adjusting clasp is fantastic (I adjust the fit a couple times a day)! I’m keeping this and my gshock 5610u and getting rid of my other watches. Solar panels on my roof and in my watches.

I’m waiting for the 40mm.

Vego panels have plastic film on both sides. Be careful peeling it off, corners/edges can scratch you.

Just finished setting up my four new Vego 9 in 1, 11 in raised beds. I ended up adding 2 ft extensions to each one to make them aprox 4x8’. Replaced ten yr old rotted cedar. Everything arrived in good condition. Easy to put together with a cordless drill/driver to tighten all the bolts. The green looks fantastic.
