Pumpkin Spice Doxa
For GED, you can see (sorry about glare) that the Citizen has a larger dial than the Seikos (which both have identical dial sizes, despite lensatic distorsion). Of the flieger/flyer/pilot/field watches available, the Citizen is in top three for case size (both others IWA efforts over the years) and maybe top dawg for indices boldness, certainly the only one of large cardinal pips where the 3 o'clock nearly as large as the others.
You can also see it is so light it floats in a tub of water like balsa on mercury, while the Seikos sink like Simonized lead bricks. I will use mine for a PFD, but you might want one on each arm for waterwing use.
And for CENSORED scratching, you can see the Citizen almost too good to point of drawing blood, and boy, is than bandage gonna hurt coming off!
It does have 21.5mm lugs and a 22mm HD NATO was a tight squeeze between lugs AND between springbars/case, but works.
On purchase, the official Citizen store on Amazon has very good prices, the black dial/titanium bracelet version (maint.-free, but kinda wrecks the field watch look) priced cheaper than the high quality very sturdy leather with green dial. I think the leather/green more attractive in an LL Bean field watch flavor but doubted it going well with an OD strap for a military guy...brown/tan would work, but I am set in my ways.

It IS that time of year.

Thank you for that info.
As they say on "Game of Thrones," that has a Fiber of the Carbon dial...
Folk have complained on the sapphire AR coating not as good as it could be....but, it no worse than the mineral glass crystal on the Samurai and Turtle, the Samurai picking up reflection on the French or Belgian waffle dial, while the Turtle is smooth faced...the Citizen dial is sorta fresnel lensed, and maybe for solar light gathering, and that may be main culprit. For all I know, they found a heavier coat caused problems with charging, but, wearing last night and all day, I have zero complaints compared to either Seiko. As mentioned prior, hand lume is quite good, about Seiko good, cardinal points ok and work, numbers go away in a hurry. I like it well enough it endangers Seiko wearing, and that says a lot because I am a mechanical watch guy.Thank you for that info.
