Collect or Pass?
Stop and read first! I’ve always liked Citizen as a brand, but with mixed feelings about them, but I want us to be objective here.
The watch in question is “The Citizen” AQ4103-16E, in super titanium and is a limited run of just 350 pieces, 38mm gold color Duratect-coated Super Titanium case. Gold leaf washi paper black dial and a three o'clock date aperture. Citizen Caliber A060 with hours, minutes, seconds, date functionality. Accurate to ±5 seconds per year and features perpetual calendar functionality. Additionally, the movement provides a power reserve indicator, insufficient charge warning, energy saving function, shock detection, automatic hand position adjustment, time difference correction, and midnight sharp calendar update function. Equipped with Eco-Drive technology, sustainably powered by any light and never needs a battery. Water resistant to 100 meters. Closed caseback. Brown leather strap. Price: $3,800, but nevertheless, this watch is impressive!
Tell me what you think by voting and in the comments, I would love to know your opinion on this beautiful watch from Citizen.

Hi! I’m fairly new to the watch but I’m very excited about it, hopefully continue learning and off course, collecting ❤️
Fantastic watch, but at that price there's stiff competition so I voted "Pass".
These questions are not so cut & dry.
Would I like to collect this piece? Absolutely! It's gorgeous & from a well-established & respected brand.
Will I be able to? Nope.
Budget has a HUGE influence on whether I (or pretty much anyone else) can collect this (or other watches) even if we wanted to collect it.
If you like the piece and can afford it, go for it. Citizen is a great brand with significant history and heritage. I have had great experiences with all my Citizen watches.
I voted collect as I'm a fan of Citizen. However the price for this one seems a bit high.
Definitely collect. If I had the funds I'd definitely get a chronomaster
Stylistically not really my thing, but gotta appreciate the workmanship and accuracy. I think it's expensive for what it is (considering my Longines VHP has exactly the same quoted accuracy), but then you're getting the washi dial and titanium as well.
Pass only because i do not wear that kind of watches i only wear sport watches that watch only get dust instead of wrist time
A bit too expensive for this watch. In my opinion. Looks good though
Not this model, but one of the chronomasters is something like a grail to me (Caliber 0100). I'm unsure how to vote here though. For me at the moment, it's a pass. I don't have the funds.
I clicked Pass, my reasoning is I only spend big money on watches I will use often and little money on watches I will rarely use. I never use dress watches, that's why i have a Timex Marlin as my dress watch, But since i wear casual watches everyday (work and personal life). It doesn't bother me to spend on Omega, Tudor, etc sport watches.
If this is a watch you can wear often, maybe even daily i don't see a problem with the price as long as you plan to keep it. I've purchased/sold a few Citizen's and always lose money. Give it a few months, maybe somewhere like Jomashop has a deep discount
Would I wear it, hell yes.
Would I pay that much for it, hell no.
Is it worth the asking price, no.
Is it worth half the asking price, definitely.
