I bought this watch 3 years ago. I have been wearing it one or two days per week, and the white numbers on the bezel are almost gone. I am always very careful and avoid the watch to have contact with soap, perfume or something like that. I assume the white and yellow colours are falling due to the contact with garments. It is a shame because it gets a worn-out appearance.
received wat as a gift I loved it for a while , now not so much
I waited several years to replace an older model Blue Angels that had been stolen. This model appeared about a year ago, but I bided my time until a couple of weeks ago when I bought it at a very good price from Macy’s. I’m a bit disappointed in the quality. The crystal should have been dome-shaped rather than flat. I have no issues with the movement as I have the same watch with a mesh bracelet in rose gold. The lume is slightly below average for a watch at this price point. What I like least is the bracelet. It’s very cheap looking, every link has pin holes for adjustments when it should have had less obtrusive screws or some other way. Finally, it lacks a fold over guard which is again something I expected. I bought it because my old one was a favorite. This not so much.
The watch itself is very nice. I had to adjust the bracelet to fit my wrist. Simply knock out the pins remove links then put them back together or so it seems. In my experience with this watch, once I remove the pins then reinstall them, the pins did not stay intacted. The pins keep falling out. Can't wear the watch. It's now a paperweight until I get to a jeweler. I own five citizen watches and this has been the worst of the lot.
