    @Matt I don’t know if it helps but these watches are available at a discount with a UK retailer

      @IrishHeart awesome, thanks. There are some new ones on eBay for $700 so I’ve got my eyes on them.

        @Matt I would go along to a dealer and try all three on. Sometimes the colour you think that you'd like is actually duller in reality, and the one that you discounted is actually awesome. I'd also figure out what strap colours you're interested in and choose accordingly.

        But at first glance, I'd be tempted by the blue because of the colour in the carbon case.

        Beyond that, it looks a fun watch. It's got its own, distinctive aesthetic. The Powermatic movement is a modified ETA, so pretty reliable, accurate, and easy to get serviced. And it's got a decent (300 metres) water resistance.

                The blue may win out as there is one on eBay with a VERY low bid currently. If it stays that way I could double the bid and still get it for half price. 🤞

                                  @endo not sure what's available in your area but long ago I had a watchmaker replace a hardlex crystal with a sapphire one for 90$us. Depending on how much you like the watch it could be worth it. I may have gotten lucky since many people wanted this done on this particular watch so there was a couple of people who did this at the time.

                                  I dig that black and blue citizen though.
