Sod it have just ordered one of them rocket jobs the display back tipped it.
And I must say although this topic has the potential for the children to start spouting !!!!e about what they don't have a clue about. It has been very pleasant to watch a thread not only to learn about a subject which I didn't really have a clue about. But also not have to skip read the whole thing trying to work out who is living on planet zanussi.
edited to add The citizen watches I own (2 of) have all been high quality the eco drive is well worth the extra money. You are talking 40-100 quid for a battery change depending if you get it pressure tested or not. My current diving eco drive it has a depth gauge built in, has been going strong for 15 years now proberly done about 500 dives which would have been 4-5 bat changes on the none eco. Bought it for 450 quid, bat change by Citizen is 120quid, none eco was 350 quid. Thought I had knackarded it when i took it to 70 meters but didn't. Been through 3 straps at 30 quid each including new pins.
That particular watch you like is way to cluttered for me but its your money, I would pay the extra for the eco drive option if you do decide to go for it.
