I got mine in Japan this Christmas (along with the AQ4100-65H) for less than the cost of a single quartz GS. Both absolute stunners. I admit I'm still a big GS fan, but as their prices creep up I do find myself cross shopping them with Glashutte, Omega, etc and being a very considered buy, which didn't translate into buying one during a 2 week trip to Tokyo.
Another home run! Beautiful watch, with a well executed in-depth review. I did not have this piece on my radar… and now, I believe it might not go away. I’m a sucker for pretty dials…
@@TheGreektrojanBecause of how it's hand made, no two dials are exactly the same either. You only really see that with watches in the thousands of dollars range.
Great looking watch, what a dial! It really is time that Citizen simplified the naming system of their watches and released a broader range to the world market. They make far too many amazing watches that are not easily available to international watch enthusiasts.
You are absolutely right, photo/video can't do the dial justice. If you went to Japan, this one is a no-brainer buy. I bought it for just ~470 USD in Bic Camera after tax-free and tourist discounts.
You can order the bracelet from the NB1050 by contacting the parts department of your local Citizen Service Center. Make sure you order a pair of springbars as well as the bracelet models have slightly shorter spring bar bodies than the strap models (NB1060). I got mine through the Canadian service Center for about $200 CAD. I bought a 1050 just before the 1060 came and needed both. Went for the white dial as it’s more dressy. The silver leaf really pops in bright lighting.
I think I might have read your comment somewhere else online, I distinctly remember someone discussing this exact method of getting hold of one. Fair play!

Good video! Some consumer advice regarding these watches, from being in Japan: The NB1050 series can be had at BIC Camera or Yodobashi for 40% off. I don't recall the situation for NB1060, though the overall impression I had was that if it wasn't a "premium" watch -- and the vast majority of Japanese watches, including Oceanus, aren't -- then 20-40% discount is the norm, especially after the first year of a model's introduction. As for The Citizen, it is considered premium and these two retailers are reluctant to provide a discount, although 10% or a tax-free concession for foreigners might happen there. I got my The Citizen at a Citizen factory outlet store, and it was an older model, so there was incentive to clear it out. So I got mine for 28% off. One last thing: About The Citizen, put on your eagle eyes and study their dials and features very well. I saw a model that looked like it had thin white lume on the indices, but under a loupe it was just painted. Similarly, indeces that look like they have black polish may just be painted black.
I'm fairly sure the answer to that is that the rules for products to be sold in Japan are a lot more stringent than other countries, so the models have to meet higher standards and then cost more to produce. Bit depressing if that's accurate.
@@ImpulsiveWatches they are a little oricier than I usually spend but well worth it and they got options for 19mm Opt for spring bars and they’ll put them in the strap for you

I've been fawning over this watch for a year, haha. I should just go ahead and pull the trigger. That dial is incredible!!!
As good as it looks in pictures and video it's even more stunning in person.
I bit the bullet about a month ago on this watch and it was 100% worth it in person.

the backgrounds/filming locations really set this video apart, very well done

Ive just got this watch few days ago! My dial patterns are different from this. And the markers are sparkly stunning!! ❤❤❤
A gorgeous watch.
Good video!

Thanks for this, I've been weighing up what my next serious purchase might be and The Citizen is on the list, I'll take this into consideration
very good keep it up!
영상 감사합니다
That dial 😍😍😍
Still don't get the idea behind jdm only watches from seiko and Citizen

What is the maximum strap llength?
You're going to be on the very final holes if you have 6.5 inch wrists and it's a write off if you're getting towards 7.
Is the rotor noisy?
It's not bad, you'd never hear it in normal wear at any case.
Love mine
Put it on an aqua strap from b&r bands
Will have a look at that, thanks for the info
@@ImpulsiveWatches they are a little oricier than I usually spend but well worth it and they got options for 19mm
Opt for spring bars and they’ll put them in the strap for you
@@ImpulsiveWatches plus the aqua really goes well with it
Either that or a real warm brown looks fantastic
@@eric21881 I had a little look and I think you've nailed the colour matching there for sure.
@@ImpulsiveWatches worth every penny
Saat çok güzel ama rotör sadece tek bir yönde sarma yapıyor diğer tarafa döndüğünde saati kurmuyor
Need a black dial
I can’t get a good fit with a leather strap, either. Always too tight or too loose. I’ll be skipping this one
Эх
😭JDM 😡
