So Saab and WildDart, Citizen it is.
I've had military-issue Omegas and Seikos, damaged and had 'em replaced.
I've had a Breitling (stolen) and a Tag-Heuer present that lasted just two years and gave up.
The repair bill for the Tag was £200+ ( needed a new special gizmo that only Tag knew the expensive reason for !)
So i saw a Citizen Eco-Drive in an old Argos catalogue for 50 quid - black face, day and date, great luminous hands and numbers. Wow, four for the price of a repair bill !
I've had the Citizen now for 4+ years and no problems, but then, so what ? Just buy another !
I now also own its "posher" brother, an Eco-Drive Chronometer, just for Saturday nights.
How much ? 80quid ! -and both are the most accurate I've ever had.
Yeh, Citizen it is.
Rgds, Sleeve.
Oh, 18greens, :-
>BTW all you smuggies with the light powered citizens, mine stopped working after three years, just stopped, no reason, no amount of warming it under million candella lamps has persuaded it to work again. :-(<
- must've been all that night Charter. Never got a chance to catch up !!
