Bought this for less than $60 on ebay. Damn, what a nice watch! 21 jewel movement, really bright lumn, screw-in crown, screw-in back, super nice rubber strap, nice rachet bezel, and a day/date window (without a cheap magnifier). Size is 39-40mm. Looks like 40mm on my wrist. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Whoopee!

Mike,

How does the quality compare between some of the older Invicta's 3+ year back and the Citizen.  I would think that they may be very comparable, just  a thought.  Congrats on the purchase!!!:D:D:D

This particular model is not one of the more expensive Citizens. Mechanism-wise it is on par with the Invictas. Looks very well made, etc. given the low price. No exhibition back and rubber strap make it harder to compare to Invicta for me. That said, the Invicta's of that era (in general) would rank above this model in my opinion. If Citizen had made it a 40 or 42mm case (it really is a 39mm) then it might be different. The Invicta 8926 feels like it could be a $200 watch. This Citizen feels like a $100 watch, albeit a nice one. :)
