Looks nice reminds me of mine, only the one I have is white. The size is one of the reasons I am looking to move it.

Edit bad pic, but the band is brown

X10000000, great guys over there. They’ve done a few watches for me and I couldn’t be happier with the results and service

I’ve never been a watch guy but as I’ve been buying dressier clothes and suits, my wrists feel very naked. I would like to start off with something in the 250 range if anyone has suggestions

yeah i see some friends and colleagues wearing out large flashy watches and it’s surprising the reaction they get at restaurants or just walking around. it’s a great conversation piece. U-boat sort of fits that if you get them in gold, same with Panerai. other than that, it pretty much has to be breitling with diamonds all over it.

I was just given a 2000 Citizen Stars and Stripes watch. I am thinking it is a eco-drive? Nice looking watch though. I have never really been in to watches or worn them so I am thinking about selling it. Just not sure where to even start as far as price is concerened.
