5 year Australian Warranty from Citizen Australia

This is the watch currently on my wrist and in my Display Picture. An absolute beast of a watch.

Notable mention to the Citizen Eco Drive BM8470-03A for $99. An Eco-Drive for less than $100 Express Shipped (Was $179) is an absolute steal.

Also notable mention to the Citizen Promaster Altichron Steel BN4044-15E for $379. I've posted this watch before and it was well received. It's now been reduced from $469. If you don't like the look of this and prefer a more "Military/Rugged" look, then one to consider is the Citizen Promaster Altichron Nylon BN4045-12X for $379. Also down from $469.

  • Jx on 13/06/2018 - 13:28

    Can someone please explain the difference between Seiko solar VS citizen eco drive? Both seem to be powered by light

    • MathNerd on 13/06/2018 - 13:37
      +1

      They're pretty much the same really - the face has a solar cell(s) that charge up a battery inside, which powers the watch. I wouldn't say there'd be much difference.

    • ilikeit on 13/06/2018 - 13:49

      I don't know which one came first, but I'd bet owning the trademark Solar would be valuable.

    • fatal on 13/06/2018 - 23:29

      Just so you know, Eco-Drive came first and is the superior alternative.

  • Charlie Dont Surf on 13/06/2018 - 14:04

    Some lovely timepieces there, thanks MathNerd.

    Word of warning, the waffle cone pattern on the dial of these watches will have you glancing at your watch far more often than you need to tell the time.

  • maogua on 13/06/2018 - 14:10

    Not the lowest it has been for the SRPB53K, any chance they can offer the same as the deal here before?

      It's available with rubber divers strap fpr $285 atm

      Buy this and chuck a nice brown leather strap on it from the Sydney Strap Co.

        It's available with rubber divers strap fpr $285 atm

        That's 285USD.
        Change the currency and it's 373.35AUD.

        • datzed on 13/06/2018 - 14:28

          Crap. Sorry.

        Honestly the rubber strap it comes on is pretty nice, really soft and comfy.

        • datzed on 13/06/2018 - 14:35

          I agree. Its a proper divers strap too. Designed to easily expand and sit over a wet suit if needed. The only issue I had was it was far too long for my tiny wrists.

    So prices are available until June 30? Very tempted to buy but I feel like I shouldn't just pull the trigger too impulsively.

  • bleeder on 13/06/2018 - 14:50

    Shit, I avoided the samurais last time by waiting for the deal to expire, not again… And pepsi this time god damnit!

    • garage sale on 13/06/2018 - 14:59

      I got the black last time …might have a couple of beers (James Squire Hop thief) and decide if I need a pepsi ….

      though I should save coin for padi turtle ….

      • bleeder on 13/06/2018 - 15:08

        Yeah I've been eyeing those padi turtles myself…

      • merc on 13/06/2018 - 15:10

        I can't decide between the pepsi or the turtle…

        Also want to trade in my Cocktail Time for one of the new limited edition Presage models. Any takers?

        • garage sale on 13/06/2018 - 15:18

          I just read the fine print ….the pepsi comes with rubber strap ….that kills it for me, preffer metal band and factory Seiko metal band would not be cheap as accessory … makes my non pepsi samurai look nice again.

        • Monsieurzaconni on 13/06/2018 - 19:00

          I dont have any Presage but am looking to buy cocktail time (SARB065 not the new one). What's your selling price if I may ask?

    • bleeder on 13/06/2018 - 15:07

      Oh can't get strapcode bracelets for Samurai? That solves my problem then.

  • damonism on 13/06/2018 - 16:18

    Bought a pepsi Samurai last time they had it for this price (a couple of months ago) and love it (and I have a lot of Seiko divers). Delivery was quick and the watch had no alignment problems with chapter ring or crown (which can be a problem with Seiko divers in general for the chapter ring, and the Samurai in particular for the crown). Got it on the rubber strap but removed that straight away for a NATO so lack of bracelet didn’t bother me, particularly for the price.

    • Dr.Tenma on 14/06/2018 - 00:47

      Thanks Damonism for the info re alignment. Can anyone else confirm of any alignment issues? Just wanting to confirm if these are not on special due to this reason. Alignment problems with the crown/bezel, as indicated in one of the links above from skywatches. Cheers

      • RudedogandDweebs on 14/06/2018 - 19:40

        Just picked it up today. Amazing watch. Rubber strap looks and wears better on the wrist. The crown misalignment issue - looks for me to me… depending on the angle your mind will play tricks… but as far as I’m concerned, the crown does not rub against the guards… so all good

  • Petto on 13/06/2018 - 16:30

    Are Seiko Prospex SRPB51K made in Japan?

    • FXD on 13/06/2018 - 16:47
      +5

      The K designates they are not made in Japan, Japan-made ones end in a J.

      • Petto on 13/06/2018 - 16:51

        Thanks.

      • MathNerd on 13/06/2018 - 17:23

        Thanks for the info.

      • mooboy on 14/06/2018 - 11:00
        +1

        My understanding is they're all made in same place (Malaysia?) but the ones ending J are designated for Japanese market, and the ones designated K are for the rest of the world.

        You need to go up in range (and price!) to really get the ones made in Japan.

  • kpl69 on 13/06/2018 - 17:21

    Thanks OP. I'm considering the Black Samurai. I got the Blue Samurai last time when it was discounted to $329 from Starbuy and love it.

    • MathNerd on 13/06/2018 - 17:22

      Get it. Buy now, think later.

    Thanks op. Was almost going to pull the trigger yesterday. Got a Pepsi samurai!

  • siuol on 13/06/2018 - 18:08

    Got the Blue Lagoon Limited Edition for a bit less than $600 AUD last year, regretting now.

  • SupremeCombo on 13/06/2018 - 19:17

    Thanks Op. Bought. Anyone know where I can get cheap replacement leather or stainless steel band? The rubber one doesn't do it for me.

    • WatchNerd on 14/06/2018 - 09:15

      Maybe check out this ss bracelet.

      • bleeder on 14/06/2018 - 11:28

        Know where I can get an 'expensive' stainless steel band? Had a look at StrapCode and they don't do samurai :(

    • mooboy on 13/06/2018 - 21:17

      To be honest - I'd be surprised if they were. At least not for watches in this range. Maybe for Swatch etc.

  • gadgetguy on 14/06/2018 - 13:53

    Had the CC9025-51E on my eBay watch list for a while now but they still want $1599 for it on there. Any chance they will be adjusting eBay prices to match those listed here?

    I will buy immediately if they do…

  • sludo on 14/06/2018 - 18:21

    Another worth mentioning thats on sale for $249 is the SRPA75K Automatic
