Agreed 100%! I have 2 Citizen Signatures in my collection and they both exceed well above their price range. The fit n finish rival my Omega, Breitling and Tag for sure. And the crystal with AR coating is the best that I've seen bar none. I've had multiple Seikos n the past and most of them all had QC issues. One Seiko actually had the glued-on plastic logo at the 12 o'clock position fall off the dial and made the second hand stuck making the watch unusable. With the exception of Grand Seiko, these Citizens blow anything out of the water. It's a shame that Citizen did not market these properly. If you can get yourself one then do it, you will not regret it. Great video review
The bezel its actually 3 separate parts which require different levels of polishing which creates that unique look. The sapphire crystal is double AR coated and that allows you to see the dial so clearly. I have two of these but I have a small wrist and in the last 3 years I have felt they are too big and flashy for my taste now days ....I did become a Dad 3 years ago and maybe that's got something to do with that feeling.
I'm very glad to say that I own the Largo citizen eco drive E812 and the Stiletto G820 for over twenty years. I had just change the capacitor in both of them. Great watches .🙂😔. These two particular watches are not in the market any more so I consider myself very lucky.
@@eightosaurusspelunk1598 That is a great watch. I was going to buy that one until I saw the Mont-Bell cb0171-89e. Saw it once and had to have it. If it weren't for the Mont-Bell I would own the pmd56. Both fantastic watches.
This video analysis i wud grade a C. No review of Citizen watches wud be complete w/out the Diver GMT model AND the lume shot. 20 odd years old Rolex watches still hold their lume.
Love my Citizen watches. Well made, accurate and very classy and sleek look. Haven't had a problem in over two decades of owning these watches.
Loved your video review !!! Subscribed - love Citizen watches

Excellent review!!! I'm a huge Citizen fan. They've the BEST watches in the market.
I'm going to get the Grand Touring this year. Maybe all 3
I agree 100% with you, I just wish they also had smaller diameter watches for my small wrist.
I agree. I'm done with seiko. I'd buy a cheat Ali express before I buy another seiko. I have my sights set on 2 citizen watches
I have a seiko mm300 and orient SD300 these grand tourings look like a good addition.

I have 3 and first 1 have had for 8 years and still going well you are spot on very under value in My eyes👍
Great watches, but to complete the fleet, you need to include the citizen 2100 caliber.

try putting a Hirsch Stone strap on your Grand Touring Classic
nicec vid mate and totally agree with you, the zens are underrated and have a far better price point for us watch nutters :D
A Citizen Promaster is the best watch you can buy for the money. No question ....I've been telling people that for years.
The promaster pmd56 is, absolutely, the best watch made.

@@bettersteps Definitely! That Mont Bell is great as well
Nice video! Red Chin.
I have the touring. Not the sport. It’s chunky big and heavy.

No contest... Grand seiko is the best
Didn't know you could get a grand seiko for less than $1000.........
Campanola beats grand Seiko any day. I kept my campanola and sold my grand Seiko with spring drive movement
I have both, and there is zero chance citizen beats Seiko at any price point. Fact not opinion
Edox hydro-sub is better!!! Tissot sea-star is better!!!
