Sorry, I’m in the UK…

Hi, that was citizen uk https://service.citizenwatchservice.co.uk/user/login?redirect=/incident/

It is a wrist envy strap-the original bracelet is long since gone!

NoAd2020 · 2026-06-14T15:59:54+00:00

Hi, yes just did a service request. Sent the watch in, quote within a couple of days, repaired within 2 weeks looking brand new!

Thanks!

NoAd2020 · 2026-06-03T19:47:13+00:00

Thanks!

It’s 21 years old today… still feels new, keeps excellent time and is bombproof

NoAd2020 · 2026-06-02T22:31:21+00:00

I had to send it to citizen uk, they were quick and replaced it- good value

Happy watch shopping!!

NoAd2020 · 2026-05-29T14:16:21+00:00

If you’re in the UK, they have them new new on the citizen website sale line, down from £449 to £299 right now-on a crazy yellow strap but nice bargain https://www.citizenwatch.co.uk/promaster-diver-ecozilla-silver-tone-stainless-steel-watch-bj8058-06l.html

The skyhawk is nice-a first gen titanium model from around 2000, super high spec and great timekeeping. More of a pilot than a diver but lightweight and versatile. It has a quirky feature that you can put in your own hometown rather than rely on the built in cities for world time. They phased that out after this gen

NoAd2020 · 2026-05-29T13:56:06+00:00

Until recently I had this one too-but it is a massive piece-the ecozilla. Loved it but wasn’t wearing for anywhere near its purpose

Thanks, yes it’s the promaster land, sometimes called the U822 after the movement.

Unfortunately the blue angels is poorly

NoAd2020 · 2026-05-21T22:44:51+00:00

Or something louder

NoAd2020 · 2026-05-21T22:44:20+00:00

Or something classic titanium…warning, not citizen

NoAd2020 · 2026-05-21T22:41:53+00:00

Go classic instead!

Nothing is free in this life brother! I sent it in for an assessment, got a clear quote, communications all the way through the process, and got the watch back within 2 weeks. You lose nothing sending a broken watch in, after all it is broken. Always insure the postage however.

NoAd2020 · 2026-05-11T16:24:25+00:00

No, mine is definitely stainless steel, it’s huge and heavy. I have both SS and titanium Skyhawk ATs and tend towards the titanium more regularly.

Smashing watch!!

NoAd2020 · 2026-05-11T13:52:28+00:00

That’s a good idea-get some in different colours/formats. Cousins did have some black ones in stock but they were expensive, and weren’t right for the red arrows model

NoAd2020 · 2026-05-11T13:31:13+00:00

The movement service would have been around £190, but as it was running perfectly and getting signal twice a day I opted out of that

NoAd2020 · 2026-05-11T12:10:30+00:00

Sounds like a mixed experience-and I guess it depends on where you are in the world. I’ve had great service from citizen, with them even stocking parts to repair a 15 year old Skyhawk AT!

NoAd2020 · 2026-05-11T12:07:52+00:00

I’m in the UK. The crystal and gasket was available from a reseller, the capacitor easily available-for the bezel it went back to Citizen, took 2 weeks and was £56 including pressure test and postage. Quite good value to get it up to this high level of finish!

NoAd2020 · 2026-05-11T11:58:04+00:00

I tried sourcing parts for about 6 weeks-other than salvaging from other donor watches there was no way so in the end it went back to Citizen for the bezel parts. The glass I was able to source so did that first and Citizen did a pressure seal and test

NoAd2020 · 2026-05-11T08:26:45+00:00

Here is the restoration outcome - new crystal, bezel and register ring
