May we always aim to be a more perfect union.

I removed an image of the Venus di Milo because it caused a NSFW work label-wild.

I've been looking for a watch to mark my 50th birthday in May for a while. I wanted something in the 'gada' variety, and as such I've been on a list for an explorer for a while and not wanting to go grey market, or play purchasing games, I still don't have an explorer. I've tried on a lot of watches but nothing *really* spoke to me, until now. When Citizen announced their 50th anniversary watch to mark the eco-drive that was to be sold in May I realized the stars were aligning. I kept watch on the website and was lucky enough to get one.

It came set and ready to wear and it's the most comfortable watch I've ever put on. The explorer is a very close second due to the lightness of the titanium on the citizen.

I've 8.5 inch wrists and I think this 40mm case is my sweet spot. Model# AQ4091-56W

Funny side note. I first tried purchasing with my phone but the web site said there was too much traffic and to try again. I kept trying while I moved to my computer. The computer worked and I got a purchase number. But unknown to me *all* the times I hit refresh on the phone I was in fact purchasing a watch. All told I bought 22 of them. Citizen were very helpful canceling all but one. For a brief time I kind of cornered the market on this watch.
