Now is a moment that lasts forever, and all things are happening in it. So I thought I'd pop this in the seed tray to see if anyone pecks at it. Previously posted at $100 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/288850 I doubt these will be available for long and it is notoriously difficult to find a cheaper new Eco-Drive.

This model is current at Citizen's Australian website …

    Waiting for a DEEP discount on end of run Grand Seiko, should be coming as they are now removing the SEIKO name off the watch face.

    I have purchased 2 x watches off these dudes, they are the real deal.

    My wallet thanks you for NOT doing a deal on a Citizen Wave GPS watch, we got close though :-)

    Cheers

    PS/ Still waiting for my "warranty" watch-band if Citizen would play ball

    • superValue on 14/04/2017 - 15:46

      Can you please tell me more about this deep discount on Grand Seiko?

      • 8200 on 14/04/2017 - 16:04

        Waiting waiting waiting…….

        When Seiko gets the new models of Grand-Seiko stock with Seiko removed from watch face, history would say they want the oldies gotten rid off ASAP

        I think you will be able to get a decent discount on discontinued stock, if Starbuy get hold of them DEEP DISCOUNTS will follow :-)

      Praise from the master is praise indeed! Yes, this is a nice watch without being what I call "too busy". Having the day on there as well is quite a bonus at this price.

    Can anyone give me a review on any watches you have that have mineral glass faces?

    I have a citizen with sapphire, 8 years old, been though 5 years of McDonald's and 3 years retail, and not one scratch on it!

    So any real life experience on the mineral glass that gets worn everyday? How does it hold up?

    Thanks!

    • PJC on 14/04/2017 - 11:14

      My wife's Eco-Drives (3 bought from Starbuy) aren't old enough to comment on. Generally, sapphire crystal is superior.

      There was no indication of stock level. Somewhat paradoxically their email said "4 days only" and also "When they're gone, they're gone" which even I could have guessed, so I avoided declaring an expiry date.

    Still showing up on Starbuy's eBay store. Listed for $129, combine that with the CHOCCY code to get $10 off and get it down to $109 shipped..

    edit: or from here for $110 with the code and collect at Woolies

    Have a look at the Seiko 5 collection. There's hundreds of models in the collection, varying from divers to dress watches, and everything in between. They have a bunch of pilot/field watches that not only look similar to this Citizen watch, but in my opinion, much, much better. They're also automatic instead of quartz, which is quite impressive for ~$60 - $150. An automatic day-date Swiss watch will cost you many, many hundreds of dollars. If you're not buying Rolex or Omega, always go with a Seiko.
