That watch is more like $399 "regular" and like $299 on sale.
It's a pilots watch too, do you even know how to use all the features on it?
I agree. I was looking for this one few months ago, and it's easy to find for 229$us.
I would ratter put 700$ on an Omega, or even a used Rolex or Panerai than a Citizen watch ! Even Seiko have some great automatic watch in that price range. At last, it's not a soul less quartz watch.

Right now - until Feb 19, The Bay (Ottawa) has a sale going on 25% off watches, if you don't have their CC yet, apply for it / use it and get another 10% off... not bad if you are looking for a new watch.
If you're interested in Oldsmobiles, visit my website : www.outrightolds.com

this watch is about 150 Euro.. I don't know how much in Canada. (Rodania are hard to find here and VERY overpriced, specially those series.) It's from the "Cadeau-box" series. Come with a stainless and leather bracelet. Miyota movement. It's the 2004 series.
You can look there for all Rodania watch from Swiss.

I said put my money on... I mean a 700$ is a very good start for those brand. I prefer getting a 1200$ Rolex or Panerai than an 700$ Quartz Sport Citizen watch. Anyway, I'm an Omega Guy, and with 700$ you can get some nice used onesinnedsoul wrote:you will not find a used rolex or panerai for $700..

Used current Sub would be about 3500-4000 USD, Panerai I guess about the same NM.
A 99.5% Panerai replica would be around $400 and yeah it looks pretty much exactly like the real thing. )
Replica Black Seal - $250 USD.

Dude... I didn't pay $700. I'm not stupid. I was just writing that as retail. I paid around $350 when I got mine. Around that time, the regular prices were mid $400's... and the sale prices, mainly on [rfdlink=/forums/autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78]eBay[/rfdlink], were mid $300's. I like this watch, but I like it for the price. I wouldn't spend anymore than this on a Citizen watch and can't currently afford anything better since I'm still a student.FastFokker wrote:Dude that watch isn't $700.. you got ripped!

Also, I have no idea how to use the pilot features... I dont care though. Just because they're there... it doesn't mean I have to use them!
I'm curious, where can you find them for $229 US? All the one's on [rfdlink=/forums/autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78]ebay[/rfdlink] seem to be around $300 or more.vric wrote:I agree. I was looking for this one few months ago, and it's easy to find for 229$us.

Just search "JR3060-59F" on [rfdlink=/forums/autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78]ebay[/rfdlink] looking at COMPLETED auction. All of them that really sold are between 228$CND and 290$CND.. other higher priced are in UK or Australia.ainsane wrote: I'm curious, where can you find them for $229 US?

If you paid 350$ in store, I guess it's a very good price since once you add customs fees and shipping, it will be close to that.

Mine isnt the JR3060-59F though, it's the JR3090-58L. The MSRP is the same on both, but mine seems to go for more on [rfdlink=/forums/autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78]eBay[/rfdlink]. The cheapest JR3090-58L that sold on [rfdlink=/forums/autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78]eBay[/rfdlink] went for $281.14 CDN, with one other under $300 and the other's all over $300 CDN.vric wrote:Just search "JR3060-59F" on [rfdlink=/forums/autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78]ebay[/rfdlink] looking at COMPLETED auction.

I actually bought mine off [rfdlink=/forums/autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78]eBay[/rfdlink] but it was a store in Markham selling it and they allowed me to pick it up. I was searching for over a month on the best price and when I won it, it was the lowest price that I saw at the time.
It's a nice watch for the price, but once I start working I want a Tag or an Omega.

Well by looking at the watch it has an incorrect Minute Hand, Second Hand, Dial, Crown, Bracelet, and Bezel.hyperion wrote:lol, owned.
And Comex Subs go for $13,000-20,000 USD so no ones putting a Green Bezel on one just for kicks...

That Sub has an SEL bracelet. SEL bracelets were not used on Submariner's until 2000. Only on the Sea-Dwellers before then...Donkey_boy wrote:ha ha ha ....your right! when comex diver company issued these in the 70's till early 90's they only came in the standard black dial on the sub.

Perhaps somebody here can help me. I can by the watch some time ago but just got it fixed recently. I've been told it was worth a bit but I have no idea how much. Doesn't look like anything special to me but then again I know nothing. Hopefully somebody here will be able to give me a better idea of what it is worth.
Don't worry, I don't plan on selling it, just would like to know
