NB1060 is beautiful. One of the watches I'd love to own one day (or even just see in person).

If the dial looks cool, I'm all about it, and that's definitely one of the heavy-hitter dials. Awesome pieces. You really got some of the best Citizens available, imo. Congrats!

Just found out about the San Martin Year of the Dragon watch. Wheeeeew! Especially if you have some connection to China or the Chinese language, that's a great watch... Nice pickup

Two watches I take on trips:

  1. An old Oris mechanical Alarm watch. Alarm is a pretty useful complication, esp. when travelling.

  2. A Seiko SBTM319, solar, radio-controlled time with quartz backup and a jumping hour. Makes it really easy to move back and forth between timezones and you never have to set it and it's always exactly on time when in a radio-signal region

I'd like to add a GMT too one day.
