Hello, my name is deathonthestairs, and I have a problem…
I’m obsessed with Neo vintage citizen promasters. I’ve been singing the praises of them on this site for a while but I just got another in the mail today. Late 80s Yacht timer. I don’t know what it is I love about these watches. Maybe it’s the true professionalism that they are meant for. So now I have the diving, air, yachting, and windsurfing. The ultimate goal is the citizen aerochron, the skydiving/balloonist watch.

What do you mean by "true professionalism"?
I always find the Citizen Pro-Masters visually appealing.

They were made with a purpose. Each watch served a very specific niche. The functions for each watch were meant to time races, time dives, time skydives.
So...made for serious work, not just to look pretty. Right?
I would agree.
The 3rd is my newest. And bc of that it’s my new favorite haha.
Hi, deathonthestairs. 🤓
I love how all of these have a unique look, and as you mentioned, a unique purpose.
I like the middle two the best, which is weird cuz I don't usually like gold on my watches.

They actually have the same base movement. The yachting is a C050 and the wingman pilot is a C080.
Very collectible, and a fun collection to do.
Such a cool "theme" for your collection. Pretty cool, mate!
You Sir. Have exceptional taste.
