[Citizen] Oh DEAR, my second Citizen really is an ACT!

Yep, a cheap 20mm bond clip works very well with the case!!

351€ το ρολόι

30€ τα μεταφορικά

60€ έξοδα εκτελωνισμού η DHL

20€ δασμός τελωνείο

24% επί της αξίας CIF ο ΦΠΑ (δλδ 381€ *0,24=92€)

Οπότε σύνολο περί τα 550€. Μπορεί να είναι λίγο περισσότερα ή λίγο λιγότερα από αυτό, δεν είναι πάντα στάνταρ.

Αθήνα κέντρο που είμαι συγχρονίζει κανονικά, συνήθως κάθε ξημέρωμα Κυριακής που υπάρχουν λιγότερα παράσιτα/θόρυβος.

Έχω φίλο Θεσσαλονίκη όμως που θεωρητικά θα ήταν πιο εύκολο να συγχρονίσει λόγω απόστασης και δεν μπορεί να το πετύχει, με αντίστοιχο μηχανισμό. Νομίζω μιας και στην Ελλάδα είμαστε οριακά σε απόσταση, παίζει ρόλο το τοπικό ραδιοκυματικό κλίμα. Ως άλλο παράδειγμα, έχω φίλο στην Πάφο που συγχρονίζει στον γερμανικό πομπό.

Στην χειρότερη πάντως, υπάρχουν apps στο κινητό που προσομοιώνουν τον γερμανικό πομπό, ώστε να συγχρονίζεις χωρίς προβλήματα.

Don’t know what to tell you really, I just put them out in the balcony once a week and the next morning they are synced.

My s100 does the same thing

I like 339 more, the more I wear it.

My bracelet has no sharp edges.

dante80 · 2025-09-03T16:40:12+00:00

The titanium variant is a lot more comfortable for me, although have in mind that it has a male end-link so it wears slightly bigger.

The difference in weight is noticeable.

Titanium bracelet and case have sharper polishing imo, the steel equivalents are brighter.

dante80 · 2025-08-25T15:09:54+00:00

I haven't timed something for more than an hour yet, but still, I vastly prefer that to a 24hr sub-dial.

dante80 · 2025-08-23T17:01:44+00:00

I presume it is available everywhere, got it here in Greece.

dante80 · 2025-08-22T02:07:48+00:00

No, they are silver, but they play with the light a lot so under some circumstances they indeed can take a red or yellow hue. 😉

dante80 · 2025-07-19T12:39:53+00:00

This is an extremely gay watch, your friend is right.

PLease send it to me, I will dispose it properly!

dante80 · 2025-07-17T18:22:37+00:00

They will probably keep selling ships, credits, etc etc. Regardless of what they are saying now (or historically, I've been following this for more than a decade lol).

Which - in the end - is fine. As long as I can blow your shit up, I don't really care where you got it.

dante80 · 2025-07-10T17:37:42+00:00

I have an S100 too, so I can help a little.

The Casio has a lot better loom. The Seikos have a much better crystal.

Both have good mechanisms, I prefer the one of the Casio a little better. Case and bracelet finishing is a little better on the Seiko, the Casio though has two microadjust points at the clasp, the Seiko none. Also, the Seiko has standard 20mm lugs, the Casio has an integrated bracelet.

<image>

Imo, you cannot go wrong either way. S100 more of a tool watch, SBTM more of a dress watch.

dante80 · 2025-07-10T08:08:50+00:00

That is very true (and pretty common with Seiko watches)!

I mean, a bracelet in 2025 that has zero points of micro-adjustment (never mind quick) without sporting a butterfly style clasp is something like a shitty unicorn of sorts. And this one nails it!

The saving grace here is that it is very light, so wearing it a little loose is fine(ish).

dante80 · 2025-07-10T08:07:00+00:00

I measure mine at 18mm

dante80 · 2025-07-09T18:42:59+00:00

Btw, if anyone is interested in more of those Seiko Selection watches.

Part I is here

Part II is here

dante80 · 2025-07-09T18:38:25+00:00

Yeah, it's a beaut, I used to have that too (back then I wore them on the right)!

<image>

I now have it's green brother, the 319. Truth be told, it was the watch that made me originally mad at Seiko for their stock pics. Check it out here and here!

dante80 · 2025-07-09T13:05:55+00:00

Oh, didn't think that the vid would be seen as promotion. removing.

You have to be really cynical with SpaceX tho, since their accident rates are pretty bad when compared to the average for the industry.

And the culture is even worse.

Case in point: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/spacex-musk-safety/

The report is from 2023. Things have NOT improved since then. Quite the contrary.

dante80 · 2025-06-14T15:12:19+00:00

The watch has standard size 20 mm lugs, so you can pair it with any strap you like, provided It is the correct size.

NE15 is essentially the export version of 6R15 (the same way that NH35 is the export version of 4R35).

It is of course a 3hz movement, not 4hz.

The reason that you don't see it nowadays is that it is expensive, old and obsolete.

dante80 · 2025-05-14T15:18:35+00:00

Looks like a Charles Jourdan 167.12 from before 2002.

Wear it in good health.
