I've been eyeballing this Nixon for almost a month. Trying to save up some cash for it:

Why? Anything unique compare to your Citizen?

It has a deep blue dial and bezel to the Citizens black dial and titanium bezel. It's a diver to the Citizens chrono. Quartz vs Eco-drive. It's steel to the Citizens titanium. I may change to a rubber strap.

Don't both have the same depth rating? I may have looked up the wrong Vict watch. For me, i rather get something that complements the other, not overlapping. The Vict to me is an ordinary quartz watch with sapphire. Your Citizen is unique and can do everything your Vict can do, while providing more info (chrono function), lighter, and more comfortable.
Anyway, i really like your Citizen watch.

Yes, same depth but different color, style, and size. Impossible to tell from pictures but they are very different. The Vic is strikingly handsome and the blue is deep - just as I like it. I was looking at the Seiko SKC007 but decided on this as soon as I saw it. Was a no brainer.
But I do also love the Citizen and will wear it very often.
The Tag was gorgeous as well but the complaints about the screw down were way too common. To me, that's an embarrassment for that brand and I was shocked how blasé many customers were about it and basically OK with a significant engineering flaw in a high-end watch. Thats completely unacceptable to me. Must be primarily JGC owners.

Completely out of control....
Ordered one of these last night.....
Orient EM6500BB black dial, black dive bezel automatic dive watch with quick set day and date, screw down crown, luminous hands and hour markers and rubber dive strap
People rave about them but how could I not grab this sharp looking watch at $105. An automatic diver from a company thats been around since the 1950's, makes their own time-tested reliable movements, and is owned by Seiko?? No brainer.
Even if it is total crap, no biggie. Want it to beat up on weekends and use my other two for work.

The problem with a lot of these watches is the cheap SS metal bracelet! Hollow links = squeaks and rattles. That was one thing I hate about Seikos (and other watches of the same price range). In addition, while Orient does make their own movement (bravo and a direct shot below the belt to many Swiss watch companies!!), their regulation leaves a lot to be desired! But, then again, I guess that is why the price is so competitive. A few of their movements lack certain features like hacking second hand and manual wind on the second link. No sapphire. Cheap bracelet on the first link with a weird end link size. It is quite incredible to see their "asking" MSRP price!
