Damn that B&M is perfection
Thank you, it is the B&M Shelby Capeland. Carrol Shelby is one of my heros so when I found a watch that looked good and represented him I knew I had to have it.

Alright fellas, I need some input here. Looking to add a Citizen to my collection and I think I've decided on one of these two. My question is, in the experience of SVTP watch gurus, is the Eco-Drive line a good buy? Both of these are under $200 FWIW.
Ive had an eco drive for 5-6 years now and its great
Bertucci A-2S. Nothing fancy, just simple, effective, and good looking (to me).
Thanks for the feedback fellas!
I know it's a preference and there's no one size fits all, but what do some of y'all prefer as far as case size goes? My current one is 43mm, which I find too small, so I've been thinking about returning it and shopping exclusively for 45mms.
Looks good!
It all depends on how big your wrists are, my sweet spot is 42-44mm any smaller and it looks like a toy and any bigger and it looks like I am trying too hard.

Any of you guys have a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms? I saw one while in Vegas this summer and really liked it.
I have the one on the left, and like it.
I have a bunch of Citizen Eco-Drives, and have never had a problem.
Rocking the no-date Sub today. It's a freaking gorgeous day in Manhattan.

I've got several more "expensive" watches in my collection but when I travel or do anything where I may absolutely need to depend on my watch to be right and working I always pull my Citizen Eco Drive out of the watch box. I've got one of the ones that does automatic time and date correction to the atomic clock and is super easy to switch between time zones.
It's been abused in pretty much every environment around the world for the last 5-6 years and never missed a beat.
If I have any complaint it's that, after 6 years, the solar battery storage isn't what it used to be. It actually died on me a few months ago (sat in the box too long I guess and my current work conditions/wearing habits over some period of time hadn't let it charge enough) but I let it sit out in the sun for a day and it's back to being spot on. Even reset itself for day/date/time...
Wrist size has a lot to do with watch size IMO. I've got anywhere from 42-45mm sizes and a 42 is about as small as I'd want to go where a 45 is about as big as I'd want to go...
Seiko Solar, and a tinfoil hat.
I have the SSC Solar chronograph and love it. I have a small addition to Seiko Divers. I love them. Seiko makes such a good watch. Enjoy it man.

I remember when these cost a shade over $1K. Mid-80's if memory serves.
Jesus Christ. I'd own so many then.
I paid a little more than six times that.
