Thinking of focusing my collection as a one brand only

Who else immediately went to see his #wruw posts? Guilty.👀

Citizen makes some fine watches for sure. I think a majority of us have a brand we’re partial to. I just put one on sale, it’s a great looking watch. https://www.third-watch.com/watchbox/p/gns5bba4ansltoac9g3msuaivhxcie

That Bullhead is a real beauty,nice collection😊

C7

Skyhawk

Fugu

A classy moonphase, AP1050-81E

They also have the new Series 8 GMTs and 365 Eco-Drives.

Well there’s certainly enough variety to go with Citizen and in that price range you could make a killer collection!

Citizens are really cool specially the vintage ones

yes. I plan to focus on vintage

Love the octagon!

You will be in good company with your "one brand only" decision. @TimexBadger himself decided to only collect Timex. Cheers to you both, gents!

Really nice watches, could you share the reference numbers please?

I'm a fan, especially some of the JDM models. Wish they were easier to find/get.

There are a lot of pluses that come out of one brand collecting. I find you learn about the brand quicker and it's fun to identify with that brand. Citizen just opened a huge flagship store in New York City and now would be a great time, they seem to be entering the luxury market but still make amazing affordable timepieces. I did the same thing with Timex and I am having a lot of fun collecting watches that a lot of watch guys look down at (except the amazing people at Watchcrunch). As far as Citizen goes, it was my only watch for 17 years, my wife bought me a Citizen ecodrive dress watch for my 40th birthday, soon to turn 60, but I wore it as my everyday watch and I literally never took it off for that entire time. Other than swimming, I did everything in that watch. It's still running and I never serviced it or had to replace a battery. Good Luck, I highly recommend one brand collecting, but be warned you may feel the need to build your own Citizen Museum in your house.

Yes! Top 1 in my list

Will you stick exclusively to the main citizen brand or explore subsidiaries, namely Bulova, Frederique Constant, Reguno and the like?

I have a ‘Casio only’ collection that’s apart from my ‘regular’ collection that is constantly revolving. Casios are so much fun but easy to accumulate so I keep a 5 watch maximum for those. Maybe keep a separate box for ‘Citizen only’ 😆

If i could only wear one brand it would be Citizen until Christopher Ward bring out a solar watch

Respect if you can focus on only one brand, but what happens if there is a watch that just ticks all the boxes for you from another brand. Would you then just leave it? I can imagine that people that collect for many years and find their one brand. But as said, I can't imagine it.

1 brand or company? citizen own campanola if company or credor for seiko.

Series 8 is a lovely watch.

Citizen is massively underrated

my original Idea is only Citizen but who knows 😉

The bullhead octagon is a classic an that series8 look really nice. Citizen make fine watches.

If one must take this road of having only a one brand watch collection, Citizen and Seiko are probably the best choices.

Citizen silver leaf lacquer dial. comes in a silver laquer too but I think this blue is a the star of the show

It is on my list 😀

They won't ever my my only watches but I love citizen. My top 3 watches of my collection include the series 8 and promaster titanium auto.

I want to pick up the newest series 8 as well as a chronomaster HAQ.

I was looking at the aq4030 but the size was just a bit too big but now I’m desperately trying not to buy a aq4091-56a - I really love the white washi paper dial with a clear disc that make the markers look like they are flying- very accurate solar quartz & titanium— citizen make some really cool watches

I also love Washi paper but I am a little concerned about the aging of the dial. Will the paper dial last unchanged until 2100 like the perpetual calendar?

Yeah that’s fair, I had the same concerns about Ming with their saphire disc on the dial. At least citizen should be around for a while (maybe).
