The Citizen
So I'm a bit of a fan of Japanese watches, I like Swiss stuff, I don't dismiss it at all, and I think Omega at the moment especially are doing some really great stuff, but the Japanese stuff has always piqued my interest. I'm UK based, and although Citizen Watches are common place here, "The Citizen" watches we don't really see.
Anyone on here got any experience of these?, they seem to be a bit of a sleeper and relatively unknown outside of Japan, but offer similar finish and technology to Grand Seiko watches.
The Citizen Chronomaster really intrigues me, really innovative HAQ Eco drive movement, paper "Tosa Washi" dial, titanium and apparently also Zaratsu Polished with very high finish standards!

Bit of a Seikoholic, not adverse to a homage or a even the odd Ali Express special, but appreciate the finer things too, even if I can't quite afford them yet.
I love Japanese watches, too. Citizen series 8 and my Bull Head. To say nothing about fantastic spring drive of Grand Seiko.
