    • MathNerd on 10/07/2018 - 16:30
      +2

      I understand. This does have a perpetual calendar though, so it does do date calculations to determine when to move from 30 to 1 rather than 31. That's got to be good enough :)

      • Munki on 10/07/2018 - 16:40

        The perpetual calendar is a very nice touch actually.

        This is now my must have feature in an analogue watch!!! I really hate changing the date, even when it's once a month. Had a Citizen Eco-Drive died on me when after a few years, pulling the pin to adjust the date had it come out completely (maybe I pulled it too hard).

        I have this very watch bought a few months ago. This was not available in Australia then and paid over $400 from Jameshop or something like that from the US. Great watch though be warned that the day of week indicator is rather small to read and is difficult to read in unidirectional light.

        • MathNerd on 10/07/2018 - 16:45

    • MathNerd on 10/07/2018 - 16:45

      Thanks. It's actually on the smaller side, a lot of watches with busy dials like this range in the 46mm+ diameter.

  • Kozhutki on 10/07/2018 - 16:50

    Great deal, quite interested. End date on this promotion?

    I love it that you're able to get some OzB exclusive pricing for us.

    You know the Citizen watch I want though ;)

    Oh, and since then, I've also decided that I want to "invest" in a fun G-Shock AWGM100.

    • MathNerd on 10/07/2018 - 22:15

      Cheers Charlie. Yes I do know the Citizen you want, I'll definitely be jumping on a deal for that if one does become available. Why don't you get this one as well, the Perpetual Calendar will keep you going with its accurate date tracking while we're waiting ;)

    Great Price for a great watch. I have the E870-S074703 which is very similar, have worn it everyday for about 5 years and love it. It has many scratches on it now though (i'm not careful with it). You won't be disappointed with this one.

    Mine looks like this one:

    • MathNerd on 10/07/2018 - 22:16

      Great stuff Pete, thanks for the feedback. Your watch has the exact same calibre, the E870 so behind the face it's the same workhorse. What a lovely looking watch isn't it?

    • quiteguy on 11/07/2018 - 10:19

      I have the BL8007-55L. Awesome watch. The only problem is I could not set the LTM (local time) accurately. The minute hand advances full 1 hour every time time you turn the crown. Curious to know whether this watch is different..

  • ggmm2013123 on 10/07/2018 - 18:29

    Any chance of getting deal on this one? It has been to $515 through ebay before.

      That's as low as they can go at the moment with stock levels. Of course if it does have a sale I/another watch member will be sure to post it.

    Perpetual calendar is one of the best features with an eco drive watch. I previously got one with this and sapphire glass and chronograph. While I have barely used the chronograph, the perpetual calendar means I haven't had to adjust it in 6 years apart from setting up daylight saving time twice a year. Sapphire glass means that while the band is scratched all over, the glass is as perfect as the day I bought it.

          @MathNerd: While researching 54 CASIO Baby-G Watches and 100 CASIO G-SHOCK Watches the Casio Indian website's RRP was significantly cheaper than the Casio USA website's RRP.

      My Casio Edifice EFA-121D-1AV takes two batteries and I am charged only $35.90 in Sydney. I don't know why I keep doing it every year or so.. The watch (brand new) is only around $100.

      And this is why an Eco-Drive watch is a solid investment. I'd even be so bold as to say it's a high yield investment :P

      But in all seriousness, this is the main factor that drew me into Citizen watches. That Eco-Drive tech is amazing and they make some really nice looking watches. This deal is a prime example of one.

      Yes, it's expired. Sorry about that! It was first brought down to $339 for the MathNerd OzB special, then again for Starbuy's Flash Sale over the weekend, and now it's back up to its previous price.
      Could you report this as expired, as I can't do it (error: you have already reported this deal before).
