After a heartbreaking (and frustrating) loss in double overtime (after the Blues gave up a 2 point lead with 2 mins left in the 3rd period) and little sleep, it had to be a grab-and-go quartz today

Really liking the bracelet WITH diver's extension clasp -- extended & retracted 1-2 notches; later in the day collapsed it completely.

The stainless steel bracelet also feels "soft" & like the feeling. For one, the underside of the links is smooth & concave; for another, it has less friction than rubber straps.

Nice! After adding a "half"-link, while the wrist is shrunken do not need to extend the diver's extension anymore.

Bad! Bracelet pulls hair when moving the watch up|down the forearm. Looks like would need to keep the hair shorter around the region (or, keep the bracelet looser than I usually care to ... which do not see happening).

Chose to trim the hair.

After wearing the watch earlier & now, bracelet feels somewhat tight & need to extend the extension however little bit; 🤔will add the half-link on the outside bracelet.

Clasp, with "diver's extension", of brushed stainless steel bracelet shown resting on a pale forearm. The extension has been extended by 3-4, out of 7, notches.

Replacing the bracelet with a rubber strap is far less fiddly. OTOH now do have a, one(1) watch on a bracelet with #TOLMIA[1] clasp in form of diver's extension[2]. That does make for a larger clasp-assembly when extended; will (just have to) do.

2- The extension in the clasp is ratcheting with 7 notches.

Resized bracelet of a #CitizenWatch #BN0231_52L #Orca to remove 2.5 links on one side, 1 link on other side & a pair of pin+collar. It took only ~an hour & sacrifice of the SIM-extraction bit of iFixIt set.

Latter was own mistake for forgetting that the springbar tool[0] has a thin+strong enough pin to push out the pin of the bracelet🤦‍♂️

Earlier thought had lost a collar; found it now (just under the bed) :raised Simba:

Adjusting time (& date as a result) is a pain in the ass (#calCitizenB877 manual: citizenwatch.widen.net/content , web.archive.org/web/2022012405 ) ...
- date can only move forward (1-31 obviously);
- main hour hand can only move forward;
-- date moves with this hour hand;
- both main & second-time-zone hand move with minute hand

... requires time & patience, and own notes to follow & as reminder.

The slightly-magnifying-lens (on underside of the crystal) makes the date much more legible & easier to read, compared to all other #EcoDrive watches that lack it ("big date" versions, well, excluded).

#Citizen_Promaster #BJ7110_89E, #calCitizenB877 (c 2019) on Bonetto Cinturini 285 rubber strap (soon after replaced with a much more comfortable, easier & faster to fasten #Borealis_rubber_strap).
<image>

The case being titanium makes it much lighter than two other watches with stainless steel case. It came with titanium bracelet which cannot be adjusted without tools, so it is useless for me.

#CitizenWatch #wristwatch #tootRehash #JDM #second_timezone

Somewhat noisy low light photo of Citizen BJ7110-89E (cal B877, c 2019) dive watch with matte black dial & luminescent main hands & hour indices which are glowing in light-mint color.

Second-time-zone hand, with yellow hollow arrow at the end, has no luminescence. It can only be adjusted in full 1-hour increments.

A 24-hour chapter ring is angled at ~85-65 degrees🤷🏽‍♂️. Hours with Arabic numerals are marked every 2-hour interval from "24" to "22"; in between are thin stick indices. Markers, except the "24" hour marker which is in light yellow, are in white.

The watch with a black rubber strap rests on a red/beige flower motif seat cover.

Time is 23:47:22.

Date window has been obscured by the second-time-zone hand; only some portions of current & next date digits are visible.

Tens place digit of the current date is 2; ones place digit could be 8 or 9. (Based on last modified date of the photo, current date is 28 that is about to turn over.)

Time in second time zone is 05:47:22.

The pip of the rotating bezel is at 9 o'clock position.

The watch is on Bonetto Cinturini 285 rubber strap (at the time of the photo).

When I had sent #CitizenWatch #AP0430_51L <image> to Citizen USA for service (to have the gaskets & rechargeable battery changed), I was informed that it did not have parts anymore; it could send back the watch as is, or I could buy one at half price with some exceptions. So that was how I got #BN0198_56H (Archive: web.archive.org/web/2020111204 ).

#EcoDrive #Citizen_Promaster #wristwatch #tootRehash

A wristwatch with blue dial in brushed & polished stainless steel is on dark stone. Time is 10:11:26; date is 15.Dial is blue with concentric circles. Non-numerical hour markers with polished metal outline are in shape of icicle-sticks. The 12 o'clock marker is in more of a ice-cream sandwich shape.

The rectangular date window at 3 o'clock has a polished metal outline. There is no partial 3 o'clock marker.

Both hour & second hands have polished metal outline; second hand is silver with a small arrow near the tip. Hour hand has a merged triangle with a circle divided in 3 parts as the end. Minute hand is in shape of a straight sword; when squinted just so, with a tail past the center looks like a boat oar.

Hour markers & hands look off-white due to luminescent paint.

A metallic circle connects all the hour markers. A 60-minutes or -second track in the same shade of blue runs at the end of the dial.

At 12 o'clock seems to have applied "CITIZEN" & "Eco-Drive" text on 2 lines. At 6 o'clock is applied stylized up-arrow as "Promaster" logo & "WR 200" on 2 lines.

Stainless steel rotating bezel has minutes engraved at 10 minute interval in Arabic numerals, filled with black paint? In between are 7 circles engraved & black color filled, 4th one is larger. Bezel "60" minute is at 19 minutes.

It has screw-down crown with crown guards on the right hand side.

It seems to have non-standard lugs with a notch. The center link is "U"-shaped & polished; outside links are brushed.

My contribution to #wristwatch: noisy pi’ture of #CitizenWatch #BN0191_55L^0 on an (hairy) arm severely cut-off ...
<image>

Post-toot noticed, that the time is close enough that is shown in (analogue) watch ads, even though I wrote "10:09", & had read that multiple times, in image description.

0- #BN198_56H has both medium-dark grey dial & the bezel.

#calCitizenE168 #Citizen_Promaster #EcoDrive #blue #Helm_RS2 #orange #rubberStrap #tootRehash

A Citizen watch with sunburst blue dial with non-number hour markers on a orange perforated rubber strap, on an (pale, hairy) arm that is severely cut-off in the noisy image. Watch is illuminated by the light coming from top-right around the 1 & 7 axis. Unadorned date window at 3 o'clock is obscured. Time is 10:09:52.

The hour markers and both hour & minute hands are filled with luminescent paint have polished metal outline. The hour & minute hands are straight sword like, which have a prominent needle on the ends towards the hour markers. The 3 o'clock marker seems half as long as the 9 o'clock one.

The second hand is reddish-orange with a smol arrow near the tip filled with luminescent paint, with diamond-shaped counterbalance.

A thin, near-vertical minute-track runs around the edge of the dial; minutes are marked in white. Text near 12 o'clock says "CITIZEN"; near 6 o'clock is...
arrow-like "Promaster" brand logo,
then "Eco-Drive",
then "DIVER'S 200m".

The rotating time bezel -- in blue with silver numbers at multiple of 10 minutes & silver sticks in between -- has its 60-minute pip (inside silver trapezoid-with-rounded-corners) at 6 o'clock. There is a thin silver ring, marked with minutes in blue, on the inside curve of the bezel.

Behind the arm+watch is black plastic which has "Thi" text; rest is cut-off.
