In the summers when primary school was closed (I was 10 years old in 1970) I went and worked in a furniture shop and gave the little money I earned to my mother. Every morning when I went to the super for a snack of artificials I stopped in a window and looked at a CITIZEN with a blue plate. I distinguished it from many other watches at first glance without knowing what CITIZEN stands for. Now I know that I was attracted to its blue color because most of the watches I owned had blue dials. When I finished the job, my mother returned the money I gave her and paid to buy the watch. My friend, it's a beautiful CITIZEN, it has a blue dial, it has a very good time, what more do you want? I wish it always shows you happy hours.
@@EricsEverydayWatches Στη ζωή μου απόκτησα μερικά Orient πιστεύω ότι έχουν το καλύτερο μπλε κοβαλτίου. Τώρα στο τέλος μου θα ήθελα να αγοράσω πάλι ένα Citizen με μπλε καντράν όπως το πρώτο μου ρολόι.
I'm not sure how I feel about the case design, but if I received this watch as a gift I'd definitely wear it and I bet the design would grow on me. Citizen is one of the greatest companies making affordable watches, but you can spend more on a Citizen & still get good value for your dollar. A "non-affordable" Citizen that I covet personally is "The Citizen" (AQ4091-56L) : a premium quartz watch that can rival Grand Seiko's nicest quartz offerings. Anyhow, enjoy your watch in good health!
Hi Vonkruel. Thanks for continuing to watch my videos. I really appreciate it. I was a little surprised to see that other watch you mention is a solar. Citizen does make some great watches. The case shape of this one is right up my alley, since I’m into that retro more squared off , angular look. It’s been getting a lot of wrist time.
I just wish it wasn’t 11:30 pm here in Italy and I hadn’t to wake up at 5:45 tomorrow morning, so I’d watch all your other reviews! A nice review, beautifully shot and edited. And what a watch!!! Maybe I missed this bit of information , but what’s your wrist circumference? Thanks for the review!
Thank you LIS. Thats so nice of you to say. I absolutely love Italy. Such a beautiful place. The circumference of this watch is 42 mm not including the crown guards. Have a great day.
Hello halimj7. Thanks for watching. I haven’t removed my bracelet yet but it’s held in with spring bars. It should be an easy task to remove if you want to change it.
Hello bookofmillions. I know people who would agree with you about being smaller in size. Personally, I don’t think of it as a traditional dress watch and the size is good for me. But to each their own. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it. 👍

Wonderful story, thanks for sharing. This is the greatest watch I own. 😀😀

I completely agree! That Citizen with the washi dial is magnificent!
Beautiful piece and nice review! Hope to add it to my own collection someday!

@@EricsEverydayWatches thanks for the answer! I meant your wrist size, to have an idea on how the watch would look on my small 6.5 wrist .
Grazie!
Great review thanks. Is the bracelet fixed and unremovable? Thanks. I want to put a leather strap on it
Hello halimj7. Thanks for watching. I haven’t removed my bracelet yet but it’s held in with spring bars. It should be an easy task to remove if you want to change it.
Outstanding piece!
Hello timetraveler86. I can’t recommend this watch enough. It is such a great watch. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. 😁😁
Awesome review thanks for sharing, big love from Australia 😊

Hello Randall. Thanks for watching. This has quickly become my go to watch. I’m still in love with it. 😁
That’s awesome, it’s a beautiful piece
Looks so cool
i want this in attesa black titanium, which doesn't seem to exist unfortunatly :(
Hello sigmatechnica. I haven’t heard anyone mention black titanium before. That’s interesting. Do you own other watches with that finish?
@@EricsEverydayWatches No, i'm looking for my first watch. the black is a coating citizen put on some ot their titanium cases/straps
Does it have micro adjust?
There are no micro adjustments.
If this would've been a 38mm 🎉 .... lug to lug lower.... the quality is ❤ a #Japanese proof of #metal craft...
