Citizen JDM gems
I really need to stop looking at Citizen watches in general and JDM models in particular.
Each time I search around, I end up adding one or two to my watch wishlist. They are already overtaking Seiko in my collection, and I love Seiko!
Just look at these two (around 700 euros), my goodness.
From Google Translate:
"Each dial is hand-finished by applying lacquer to the metal plate, placing it on top of the silver foil, and then painting it again. This product was jointly developed with the long-established lacquerware store, Sakamoto Otsuzo Shoten*. There is no same thing as one, and it will be a unique texture."
48 y.o. I love watches because they are a display of craftsmanship, technology, precision, design, history, and beauty I can wear on my wrist.
Those are sharp. It’ll get a lot of hate but… Citizen >>> Seiko. I like having aligned bezels and chapter rings, thanks! haha
I’m a Seiko fan and have to admit that these are not bad at all.
Citizen has some gorgeous JDM watches. It's a shame they're not more easily available to the rest of the world. They could rival the Seiko Presage line easily.
