1976 Citizen Chronograph 67-9038
Drunken-GMT-Master on Instagram: "Starting the weekend w/a 1976 Citizen Chronograph 67-9038 atop a Nikon 55/3.5 Micro-Nikkor (c.1978), my only “modern” macro lens. The day wheel is Chinese/English, probably for Hong Kong or Taiwan (Japan still uses the day name system they adopted from Tang Dynasty China). The bezel was originally painted black, but since it was a scratch magnet, 1 of the previous owners opted to polish it. Taking lens c.1965-70. #lensandwatch #watchonmylens #citizenwatch #citizenwatches #chronograph #verticalclutchchronograph #flybackchronograph #citizen679038 #citizen8110a #23jewels #automaticwatch #toolwatch #vintagewatch #vintagewatches #japanesewatch #madeinjapan #womw #instawatch #watchesofinstagram #wristcandy #wristsushi #wristporn #watchporn #flatlay #spring2024 #anothersaturdaymorning #dccamerastyle"

Actually, unlike the original P2, you can read the PSR's LCD display in bright light (though it's not high contrast); pressing the button activates the OLED that lights up for darker conditions.
As someone who has 3 of the original Pulsars, I had to pick the original model w/the red display when it 1st came out. It is pricey, but, as others have pointed out, the build quality is great (good water resistance, etc.) & the movement is good, though not HAQ (high accuracy quartz) like high-end Citizen & Seiko. I'm not a fan of butterfly clasps, but that wasn't a dealbreaker for me. You do have to push on the button longer to activate the display than you do on the originals, which causes a slight delay, but that's the price of having the hybrid OLED-LCD display that's more energy efficient & works in daytime.
I like wearing it on rainy days, etc., when I don't want to risk damaging 1 of my vintage P2s.
I also have the Armitron & Bulova Computron (w/blue display), which are fun, too.
I remember seeing that movie in the theater as a kid & thought it was the coolest thing. Afterwards, I asked my father if I could eventually get one & he just laughed (it cost more than any Rolex at the time).
I know Tudor wasn't going for a repro, but I think the lumed bezel is an overlooked & underrated feature of the original 6542.
Now that I'm well into middle-age, I still don't like extra weight/"heft" in my watches, nor have I become a fan of 2-tone cases & bracelets. That said, I can appreciate the beauty of precious metal cases in small dress(ier) watches (even though I dress more casually now & have fewer occasions to wear them) & have no problem w/decorative details like gilt dials, gold dial furniture, etc. that don't affect comfort/function.
