It's certainly prettier than a Grand Seiko, and the movement is more thoroughly decorated in a more traditional style. You also get a 10 year warranty. It's not at 'advanced' as a GS - in that there's nothing amazing about the movement construction or materials and the accuracy is not COSC-beating (still really good though) but these are insignificant things. The only actual thing I don't like about it is its unsigned crown (a pretty common thing on Citizen watches - they never really had a logo for their crowns) but I'd get over it. It always seems to get pushed off the list for some reason. I have a nagging feeling it's that if I'm going to spend a heap on a Citizen it should be eco-drive....

That's a good looking Citizen.Any info in English, where & how to order, price ??

I've never managed to shake these two off but have no active plan to buy them -

the design of the GO was inspired by the Atlas watch that was made by Zakłady Mechaniczno-Precyzyjne. Copernicus now has a "remake" of the original Atlas. Altough the watch ain't a GO, it might be suitable as a cheap(er) alternative to scratch the itch...Here is a picture from the old and new Atlas together :

you could mail Higuchi-san and ask him for details, he will be eager to help you, and order the watch for you. Have a look at the chronomaster series as well, i like them better...Keep in mind that this is THE Citizen, and not just Citizen. (like you have Grand Seiko and "just" Seiko)

I've looked at the Copernicus range when in Poland. So far, they've fallen into the category of 'too much money for a frivolous purchase, not quite nice enough for a serious purchase'.

GO or nothing for me - which almost certainly means nothing...
