I bought my Citizen Promaster NY0040-09E few days ago. I realised that there is a gap between the watch and the bezel. When i push the bezel downwards, bezel starts to move up and down like there is a spring underneath it and after i pull my finger bac…
Continue readingDifference between Citizen Promaster PMD56-2952 and Citizen Promaster AT6085-50E
Hi,
I am looking to purchase a Citizen Promaster PMD56-2952 due to its excellent features (and beautiful dial) and I stumbled across the Citizen Promaster AT6085-50E which looks remarkably similar.
Perhaps I am a bit tired but I cannot notice any key…

Another SkyHawk
As a Citizen fan i do love a nice Skyhawk especially if it’s a nice price. I had bid on a Blue Angels SkyHawk but lost it as i was busy doing other stuff when the Auction ended, it sold for £5.00 more than my maximum bid. I was looking through other SkyHawks when i came across another Blue Angels one which was a bit more than i really wanted to pay. The model is JY8078-01L . The asking price was £312 so put an offer in for £270 which was accepted. I am over the moon with my new purchase…
Continue readingThe definitive Citizen Titanium Thread / Super Titanium / Ti + IP / Duratect / MRK / DLC
This forum is littered with threads on the subject, but they usually are not very enlightening. Attempts have been made at an overview, but that hasn’t stopped the question from reappearing. Hopefully this thread will change all that!
Continue readingIn this first post I will list interesting previous discussions and notable quotes. Later on I will adress some common misconceptions (like scratch resistance does not equal scratch proof) and discuss the past and present of Citizen titanium.

The definitive Citizen Titanium Thread / Super Titanium / Ti + IP / Duratect / MRK / DLC
***Official Thread*** Citizen Promaster 40mm Eco-Drive Diver (BN0260-54L, BN0261-51E, BN0269-50W)
Official thread for the new Citizen Promaster 40mm Eco-Drive Divers with steel case and bracelet and sapphire crystal. I know some early news on these watches said they were Super Titanium, but the official Italian specifications list them as steel (Ac…
Continue readingSolution found for the Citizen Fugu crap bracelet Clasp
I have the Citizen NY0150-51A Fugu with white dial, and it has the worst clasp I’ve seen in a long time.
The bracelet can be fitted with another clasp.
The issue with it is that the links which connect to the clasp are of a different size, so one couldn’t just take the old rubbish clasp out and fit an alternative one.
The bracelet itself is nice and solid and well finished, let down by the bizarre clasp.
The solution is to call Citizen customer service for part number LK-A5M99-01 which…

Citizen Fujitsubo under the microscope
Welcome to another installment of the occasional series “Watches Under the Microscope.” Today, we’ll take a close look at a watch with a rather lengthy name: the Citizen Fujitsubo Promaster Marine Automatic Diver’s Super Titanium Promaster 35th Anniversary Limited Edition NB6026-56L. I’ll familiarly refer to it as the Citizen Fujitsubo. The watch is made from a titanium alloy equipped with technology that prevents scratching of this otherwise soft metal. The entire case is brushed. The gray…
