When I saw at 5:31 your video wearing the watch at your wrist, I loved it and I ordered from a site here in Greece. It is an amazing watch at very low price. Thank you!!
I've had this watch for a year now and it's awesome :) a true modern day classic with a amazing story behind it' a 100 years from now this watch will still captivate watch enthusiasts the blue dial is memorising on a mid summers day beautiful timepiece by citizen oner there best.
honestly they're all fantastic. i just bought the black dial/green bezel with metal bracelet. what a watch. good looking, comfy, accurate, cheap... HELL you have something valuable there. hard to find a best bang for buck than this one.
This watch is just amazing. I've had mine for over a year now and it's worth every cent. Easy to change straps to fit your lifestyle, very legible, great lume and my bezel lines up perfectly. I much prefer the bezel action on this promaster over the seiko divers at this price range and over the Orient kamasu/ray/mako. Easy to turn with little to no playback. Since the day and date display at 3 is black, it blends nicely into the dial. The dimensions fits my 6.5 inch wrist very well. For me it definitely wears smaller than 41.5mm diameter. Not thick as well for a diver. Imo, this watch is kinda like the seiko monster in the way that it's kinda ugly but beautiful. It's a great watch.
I just bought a black one not too long ago I didn’t know they were discontinued I got it for 100 bucks off the seller on eBay I bought it right after they discontinued the SKX And the prices were crazy on those I almost bought an NH series But I like this because it had 200 m of water resistance And screw down crown in a lot of ways I like it better than a seiko SKX I think because there are less common but every bit The heritage
Please can you measure the exact crystal size and tell me.i want to buy a tempered glass for the watch crystal in order ro make sure it doesn't scratch in long term.
I have this exact watch and almost sold it because I didnt love it for the first few months... But as soon as I put it on a steel shark mesh bracelet I loved it, it is now a keeper.
This is on my 2020 list to hunt. I'm just waiting for my Orient Mako USA 2 to arrive first. I have noticed the prices for ny0040 are good when checking out UK sellers. New subscriber.
Just got back from Iceland to the uk , put on my phone UA-cam and I just got notified about your show , can’t believe you got rid of this watch you must be nuts it’s a cracking watch , almost bought it myself but bought the skx instead , can see me getting one soon , and the amazon warehouse is 15 mins from my house , if I’m lucky I’ll get it the same day as ordering . So don’t get rid of it again or I’ll send some of my Viking friends over to you to sort you out !! . Keep up the good work , cheers
It’s very nice. Everything lines up nice. Wish my SKX007 did. I go one of the Fubu special editions last year, the NY-0080 (Black dial/Bezel) Version. It’s has the same non-hacking movement. I personally like the Fubu better, I like the baton markers better. That, however, is a matter of opinion.
That Fugu 0080 is a nice watch. Marshall time reviewed that one recently. Really like it. I hear you on your SKX misalignment, as do many others 🙄 Cheers 😁👍👊
I never cared that this watch was not hacking and the SKX was hacking. Hack the SKX and within a day it's going to be off by 20 to 30 seconds. So, what's the big deal if it hacks? I'll take hand winding over hacking any day. The Citizen NY0070 is superior to the Seiko SKX in every way. Including accuracy.
1:45...This 0040-17L just the other version from 09EE ? So many version from citizen lefty..then they have a “FUGU” version..can u tell what the different ?
I hear you man!! I'm always afraid I'm gonna cut myself in an unboxing video 🤣😳 I'm already looking at putting it on a 20mm Shark mesh I've got around here somewhere 🤔
I bought the same model about 3 months ago and can't decide whether to keep it or not! I love Citizen divers, but this one runs +30 per day. It's ok, not my favorite though.
Hi sir. I have question because you had the mini turtle. What wears smaller or looks smaller on the wrist the mini turtle or the citizen ny0040. Thank you in advance.
They are very similar in size. That's a great question. Maybe the mini Turtle appears larger because of the 3oclock crown position. But overall, they feel very similar in size on the wrist. The mini Turtle does have a very compact lug to lug.
@@OFD Thanks for your reply. I wanted to buy the mini turtle but since I can only buy it online and can't try it on, I was a bit worried. I tried on the Citizen ny0040. So as I understood from you, the difference in size is small. Btw I have small wrists 6.25 inches.
I understand 🤣 Us dive watch guys and gals are a really wierd bunch!! I'd say 99.6% of dive watch guys don't "dive". I don't even like swimming in the Ocean 🤣🤣
I love that watch and have it in the permanent collection for about a decade it was standard Italian Navy issue. I am not certain on the packaging as it was rearly sold in the US market outside of internet sales 😁. Most US citizens dealers sell the quartz pro master model essentially a sport watch which has 100 ft less water resistance and lacks a screw down crown. It can be found in department stores and outside the citizens aviation style nighthawk are the best selling line. It is the watch that the new Seiko 5 Skx replacement is designed compete against.
Pf haha Diver watches are piece of Art! You can't realise it, because you aren't a true watch lover! It's pretty much the same with cars. You can own a big useless SUV, but you can't get over a unique diver?

This watch is just overall better than the SKX. Better quality build, longer power reserve, better looking 😎. The blue sunburst is awesome in person.

Love this blue version, i've had my eye on it for a while and it will probably be my first purchase of 2020 for my birthday in spring!

I bought this in same deal here in UK, like you have always liked this model, especially in the blue. It's a keeper for me.
I prefer the look and size of this one to an SKX, the chapter ring and bezel line up too😂
Exactly!!🤣
Just got one of these this month and it now has an 8204 movement and has hacking.
Wow!! That is a great upgrade 👌. Thanks for the information 😎👍
Me too just came today... Is the bezel only supposed to rotate one direction?
@@gavowassy7655 yes unidirectional is standard! Excellent that it now has hacking!
Does your dial still says 8203 ? Or only mine ?
What is the exact model number for the 8204 movement? Thank you

Own the exact same model. Such a unique piece. I always say buy stuff that has a story and the NY0040 surely does.
Please can you measure the exact crystal size and tell me.i want to buy a tempered glass for the watch crystal in order ro make sure it doesn't scratch in long term.
The winding is more important to me than the hacking.
I have this exact watch and almost sold it because I didnt love it for the first few months... But as soon as I put it on a steel shark mesh bracelet I loved it, it is now a keeper.
It looks great on mesh!!👍👊
Good looking diver, really like the indexes and handset. The bezel gives it a nice aggressive feel too. Congrats on the rebuy!
Definitely!! I need to do a side by side with the SKX😁👍
I also like the EcoDrive version with the crown at 4:00.
Absolutely. That's a great watch!👍👍
This is on my 2020 list to hunt. I'm just waiting for my Orient Mako USA 2 to arrive first. I have noticed the prices for ny0040 are good when checking out UK sellers. New subscriber.
I really enjoy the clack-y sound of the bezel action on this watch.
I have the same model.. and it has hacking
The Seiko Skx009, Seiko Skx007 and this Citizen model are superb

Thanks for tuning in my friend!! Great to hear you're home safely 👍😁 I'm enjoying it so far, no need to send the brute squad 🤣🤣👍👊

Great video!!

I hear you man!! I'm always afraid I'm gonna cut myself in an unboxing video 🤣😳 I'm already looking at putting it on a 20mm Shark mesh I've got around here somewhere 🤔
Very tempting. I have the eco drive bn0150.
Get yourself a Spyderco.
I have a few spyderco knives. Ive been to the factory in Golden Colorado 😎👍 Absolutely love the company and what they do🙏🙌👊
Nice!👍🏼 Batcave Lumeshot Yes!
😁👍
I have the black one also. Great watches!
Is the blue one legible in bright sunlight? I've had a couple of sunburst dial watches over the years that haven't been
@@kerosenezen I would think so. These are easy to see in bright light.
I bought the same model about 3 months ago and can't decide whether to keep it or not! I love Citizen divers, but this one runs +30 per day. It's ok, not my favorite though.
That is outrageous!! 30+ a day is not cool. It's a bit small for some people too, which is understandable 😎👍 Cheers Mr McMahon 👊

Badass bishes
hello i own the model NY0040-09EE and the movement is the 8204 with hacking
Great looking watch.
Agree! Cheers Udo
Enough dive watches already. Most people can't even swim. Enough!!!!!!!!
Swim in the bath everyday , got to have something to time how long I’m in , that’s why dive watches were invented 😏
I understand 🤣 Us dive watch guys and gals are a really wierd bunch!! I'd say 99.6% of dive watch guys don't "dive". I don't even like swimming in the Ocean 🤣🤣
@@OFD most don't dive yet moan like bandits about water resistance 🤣
Definitely worthy of a rebuy....again 😅👍
Right!!?? You understand 🤣👍
The lumen is blue or green? Thanks.
just got mine and it also hacks. do you know why? bought it from an AD.
Because it has the newer hacking movement 👍
Anyone know the strap width on this model off hand? Specs I'm reading say 20mm, but that seems a tad skinny. Would think 22mm.
20mm
hye, can you share link to buy this watch?
great review
I have this model but the date Is italian and english, someone know about it?
Is it too big for 6 inch wrist?
Cool looking watch. Would it be suitable for a 6 inch wrist?
Definitely!!
@@OFD thanks for reply
brill watch... love the pro masters whats the accuracy ?
Not sure yet. I'll do an update down the road 😁👍 Cheers Craig!
ok cheers
Just bought this off amazon came with cal. 8204!.. Which is hackable... Bezel is one direction only tho
ISO-6425 requires a Unidirectional, locking bezel. So, your watch is doing what it's supposed to. Congrats on the 8204 movement 👏 😎👍
@@OFD cheers buddy, its a great watch!
Can you explain hacking? I just bought one from Amazon reduced 10% from price. It's got the same cal as yours.
@@MrGraceanddanger hacking means the second hand strops when you pull the crown out to adjust the time allowing for more accurate time setting...
@@gavowassy7655 Just another question Gavo. If I shake my watch I can hear the mechanism ticking inside.Is this normal?
Could it also be a womens watch?
Of course!! 😎👍
This is not the box for this model
Is there a support group for people that like to buy watch's ?
🤣🤣👍👊
Left handed help.
Once u see underpants 12h marker u cant unsee it.
Except it looks like iron man's face mask
That's not the OEM box ...it comes in the dive tank.
This was a UK purchase. It doesn't come in the same packaging 😁👍
This actually has a English/German date wheel?!

You measure is wrong, lug to lug is 47.8mm.
😎👍
Aron do they make a version of this watch line that has a hacking movement?
Unfortunately no. Cheers Chris 🍻😎
Just got one today from Amazon UK
It has the hacking 8204 calibre
I can now start the accuracy test over the next week or so
I got one yesterday from Amazon reduced 10%.What is hacking?
@@eddiegannon7148 what is the exact model number for the 8204 movement. ?
If I was left handed I'd consider one .
The idea is keeping the crown from digging into your wrist. Kinda like the SKX at 4 o'clock, just moved to 8. Would work great for a lefty too😎👍👊
Tempting
the hand set is one of the worst design wise.
I hate those REDUNDANT divers. Especially the big ugly dots where the numbers are supposed to be.
It's like walking into a Mexican restaurant saying "I'm tired of Mexican food" 🤣🤣 You walked in the door 😳🤣
@@OFD Yes , I've been in a pizza joint and decided I'm not feelin' pizza today.....those watches are overdone and ugly.
Pf haha Diver watches are piece of Art! You can't realise it, because you aren't a true watch lover! It's pretty much the same with cars. You can own a big useless SUV, but you can't get over a unique diver?
I thought I was the only one to buy and rebuy more than once if this watch!
