~~Edit: I've checked the specs at the Citizen web site as well and it doesn't mention a rotating bezel, so I think it's best to assume it doesn't have one.~~
Edit 2: Why, yes, it does have a rotating bezel! See the comment below.

FYI - This has non-standard lugs so you're basically stuck with the rubber strap.

But it's a cool looking 200m solar dive watch with a screw down crown for $169, bargain.

  Don't forget the bright orange dial! You'll fit right in at the next OzB meetup.

    Well now, just a cotton-pickin' minute here.
    
    I just propositioned Wongingtons and turns out we're both wearing our 1970s right now.
    
    So, just what IS the watch of choice for OzB member spotting?

      at least until i can inception into y'alls to get on the masterpiece that is the skmei robot watch.

        @Jimothy Wongingtons: I bought 4 and gave 3 away to my nephews and they lost their tiny minds. I kept one for myself, but the band is too small so I thought, "fck it let's yolo this mother f'er"
        
        My watch guy is going to modify the case to fit a Ronda movement, incorporate a "Smart Crown", and change the LCD to a 550ppi AMOLED display. Then Im taking it to my car guy to re-do the paint job in full high-gloss metallic paint.
        
        Still not sure about what kind of band I want.

        @Jimothy Wongingtons: See, I just went off-piste and strapped a TWS on for comfort on this warm day.
        
        Everybody mocks TWS but unlike their other monstrosities, this is a smaller 60 gram cf number. When Starbuy cleared them at $50 I figured all the OzB peeps would jump on.

        Topmost link is the SB page (404). WN did a 2021 deal that was the second TWS I nabbed. The earlier VR46 worn today was from SB Final Clearance which has always been there, or for when times are tough.

I have one of these. Nice watch but the rubber strap may not suit everyone.
Also the orange colour is far more dull in real life than the pictures suggest. I was initially little disappointed when I unboxed it. If anyone wants me to upload an IRL pic, let me know.

Edit - The bezel does rotate. Quite a chunky ratchet feel too.

    47mm is a big watch, I'd like to see what it looks like on a live wrist. I'm still waiting for my Aragon watch to arrive so I don't really have anything to compare yet.

    OK excuse my hand modelling but here it is. Taken on a M43 camera so the colours are not enhanced.
    Note how compared to my skin its a fairly mute orange. I’d say its a dull burnt OJ. It doesn’t pop like the pics suggest. My wrists are small but I’m a fan of large watches. For the money its still a great watch however!

  The Seiko SRPD59K has a nice orange dial, metallic look with sunburst effect. 42mm auto.
- patrioticpickle on 12/01/2024 - 19:15
  
  I also bought one of these watches a little while ago and returned it after I found out the strap cannot be replaced and the band has to be literally cut down to make it smaller which is irreversible.
  
  The face itself is very nice though.

I like but too big for me.

Must be like wearing a clock on your wrist.
