I've got one of these & it's a very nice watch, love the yellow dial. Makes the similar specced Seiko5KX models seem way overpriced.
The bracelet is nice as well + solid end links. Actually really like not having a screw down crown because it's easy to hand wind while wearing it.

    Cracking price. Tempted but saving up for a Tsuyosa

    • 0zyt0zy on 05/07/2024 - 10:45

      What price are you gunning for?

      • kogi on 05/07/2024 - 11:03

        no idea, will wait till it pops up on ozb

        • qhoa on 05/07/2024 - 15:34

          It was on sale last weekend for $319-329 iirc. Would be a banger if it becomes sub 300

      Nothing grabbed you in the recent Starbuy eofy sale? They had a bunch of discounted Tsuyosas.

      • kogi on 05/07/2024 - 11:07

        Too many things I want, a hamilton khaki is also on the list

    • Jimothy Wongingtons on 05/07/2024 - 11:06

      The dial on the NK5010-51L is unreal-farken. I had the green gold on my safari list, it has been replaced with this.

      Show ‘em @G-rig!!

        Yeah I'd wait for a deal on the Tsuyosa small seconds ($450 or under would be good).

        They had all the OG models going for $329 which would have been the time to get one. The newer ones are better and they've addressed a few issues. Still wouldn't mind if they were a touch smaller and fair bit of bling. The blue looks really nice:

    Oh it's the NJ017X, aka Trump watch.

      Can't unsee. Watch is ruined for me now

    Is 43mm diameter considered large ? He is slim and don't seem to have a big wrist.

    • JimmyD on 05/07/2024 - 11:00

      On the larger side I would say. I am similar and find 40mm to be the sweet spot.

    • Astronaut Joe on 05/07/2024 - 11:07

      What wrist measurement?

      I'm a touch under a 16.5cm wrist (6.5mm), but I can wear 43-44mm watches and it looks fine.

      • G-rig on 05/07/2024 - 11:17

        Yeah same, 43-44mm is on the limit but depends on the case design, and good if the lugs turn down a bit. The orient Mako 2/3 wear very well for the size and thinner.

        $200 is pretty good for these citizens, I'd recommend the BN models for a bit more (eco-drive and thinner cases that wear well for 44mm. Either are good though.

  • kolorijo on 05/07/2024 - 11:04

    I am waiting for citizen zenshin, hopefully they will be here soon

  • bruceclipse on 05/07/2024 - 11:10

    @deepak give us the Speedtimer please

    If this were an eco drive, I'd have jumped at it. Done with battery changes now after owning solar/eco-drives

      8210 Auto Movement

      These do not require battery replacements. They do require wearing the watch often in order to keep it charged (or wind up manually)

        yea thanks, but that's the problem, I just wear these max few hours a week, cycling between the different pieces. And manual winding gets annoying really fast

          Yep get a solar quartz, set and forget 😀.
          The more you get into watch collecting the less automatic watches you (I) want.

          • WatchNerd on 05/07/2024 - 12:22

            @G-rig: Lol not really, just depends on the person. It takes only a minute to set the time & I don't mind doing it.

              @WatchNerd: agreed, i actually hate solar, and i love auto with a sweeping second hand. i also cycle through watches and the solar sits in the dark inside my case when not in use. i like that my watches stop when not in use, i think of it like wear and tear of a car, the less you use it the longer it should last. that is also why i stopped using watch winders, to give my watches a break.

              @WatchNerd: I also like the interaction with my watch to adjust the time every now and then.
              Makes me appreciate how good looking it is.
              I get laughs for saying this at work, they think i was being sarcastic.

            • G-rig on 05/07/2024 - 13:33

              @WatchNerd: Same. But stuff having all autos. Nice to have some grab and go watches, especially when rotating a fair few.

      Same - waiting for the yellow & light blue Eco Drives to be back in stock at $179.00
