I'm not done with my champagne thread yet! No teasing!
(But something is brewing, something is brewing...)



I know what you mean. Is it the 42mm Pioneer?

Yes, it is. The watch is a bit bulky and the legibility not so good. I'm not sure 'champagne' defines perfectly the colour of the dial - anyway, not a champagne I would drink.

I am wearing a Citizen AT8125. Had one before and sold it at a huge loss. So this one came up on eBay for even less than I sold mine. It was advertised as "new with defects, not working". It only needed a little sun to wake up - ten minutes were enough and after about an hour it had synced and was ready to wear. Price was way less than half MSRP. Bargain of the year so far.

Congrats, Sedi. Citizen offers some very solid choices.

Thanks . Indeed they do. Next to Casio, my favorite brand of quartz watches. And I like that they mostly use sapphire crystals on their radio controlled models. Scratched more than one crystal of my Casios .

No, it doesn't, but...

To elaborate on the dial colour. This Hamilton champagne is pretty much spot on: silverish sunburst with a tint of warmth. I might want to go a little bit darker (eg salmon), but not lighter (eg cream or beige, unless the texture could mitigate that lightness with shades). To give you an example, I'd happily take a shot at SARB037 if I found one, but I find SARB035 too light. Then again, some colours described as copper or bronze might fit the bill... I want something that will look light against my skin but won't flash up my wrist, if that makes sense.

Since then I've figured that cream/beige I could actually accept and, while my sight and colour recognition are screwed up, my first instinct would be to call your dial cream. Sorry for mental shortcuts!

Swap.

Show-off.

Wow - nice! Unique design without "trying too hard" - love it!

Thanks Sedi! You nailed it with your comment on the Bluering IMO...unique design without trying to hard is one of the attributes I like most with this one.

Congrats on the "new" citizen arrival. Great looking piece and always fun to catch one that your previously let go, and at a great bargain no less! Enjoy this one!

Hate ?...... hate ?

I’ve only had this variant for two weeks, no wonder I want to wear it

I'd have a hard time taking off my wrist, too!
