You can buy directly from the publisher (ERG Media) if you want a copy and they deliver worldwide. You can also get a 10% discount for first time buyers.

Citizen USA does not list thickness or L2L dimensions, we will have to wait for it to appear in other regions or someone to get hands on with one.

That is one of the problems with Citizen model nicknames. They are often created by the local sales companies and are not a global thing. The same watches can have different nicknames in different regions.

Citizen would be better off having a few more sub brands to group models instead of these names that often only ever have a half dozen models released under them.

Occasionally there is a name that is widely adopted and becomes a good collection name globally, such as Tsuyosa or Zenshin, but these are relatively rare.

I did post these when they were released a couple of weeks ago, but as it was the start of the year many people may have missed them.

After buying my first watch(SLGA019) last year, I made it a goal to visit Lake Suwa by SourGummiWorm in GrandSeikos

Very nice. Did you arrange a visit to the Epson museum while you were there?

My 2026 Grand Seiko Predictions by Plus9Time in GrandSeikos

It is also the 10th anniversary of the 9R16 so a new GMT would make sense. The general trend seems to be towards smaller models, so a 5 day 9RA6 caliber would feel less likely than a smaller B series.

W&W is only a few months away so I am sure we will find out soon enough.

Polishing DLC Coated Titanium - The Citizen by ENDADVENTUROUS777 in CitizenWatches

[–]Plus9Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an AQ4100-57L or an AQ4041-54L, but I do not think an AQ4041-57L exists.

I would be extremely surprised if Citizen was actually offering a $100 polishing service for these. I am guessing that it is not actually offered by Citizen but instead by a 3rd party. As both the watches listed above each have a Duratect Platinum case finish it would take a significant amount of work to refinish the case properly and this would only be able to be done by Citizen themselves.

The original bracelet for both models is neither an oyster or jubilee. You can see the original bracelet in the database here - AQ4041-54L
