Before discussing the details of this pretty cool new Citizen Signature Grand Touring Sport watch, it is important to explain what that little “Signature” label means – because over the years, it has changed meaning. To start, it is important to mention that Citizen, like other major Japanese watch brands, produces both very affordable timepieces, as well as those which are a bit more high-end. For the most part, all of these watches share the same “Citizen” brand name on the dial.
Citizen, like its competitor Seiko, has struggled in markets outside of Japan when it comes to offering higher-end products which cost more than the few hundred dollars most people are comfortable spending on a Japanese timepiece. This is why brands like Toyota label their higher-end products “Lexus” outside of Japan. With that said, enthusiasts like us (and many of our audience members) known that despite confusing branding, Citizen and Seiko make some amazingly high-value, higher-end timepieces. Seiko’s Grand Seiko is a solid enthusiast favorite, and Citizen has its own collection of products in the $1,000 plus range which are totally worth your money.

I've seen this watch many times as a good friend of mine ran the Citzen store in San Marcos Texas. I've always really liked the watch but found it so expensive for what it is. Maybe at some point I'll find one of these at a deep deep discount and get it. Black and Rose being my first choice.
 
A very handsome, and attractive, time piece, from Citizen. Thanks Mike. :hat:
 
I like it. Smooooooth sweep FTW!!


Sent from the White House on the tax payers dime.
