Zilla 1000m and  Aquamounts are without a doubt My personal favorite Citizens, they are largish and very robust in their design and build, at a GREAT price point too, this is from a guy that would never have even considered a Titanium watch EVER!! now my favorite keepers are Titanium?? weird how things turn out.

 

what do you  consider to be YOUR!!! most robust beast from anywhere in the world.

Hey Shane, something tells me you like Citizen Zillas. subtlelaugh.gif subtlelaugh.gif subtlelaugh.gif

What would I consider my most robust beast??? that's a tough one. I have some nice "robust" watches....Enzo EM001, Kenzo Nautilus, Doxa 5000T, 600 T-Graph.

If you mean robust - "rugged, take-a-beating" I would have to go with the quartz Ocean7 G-2.



The Orsa Monstrum is also quite robust.

Man I drool every time I see those pics of all those auto-zillas.  As for my most robust watch, it would have to be a titanium one also - Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Ti (Mad Cow).  While only 42mm wide by 16.3mm high, it wears huge - but can take extremes in temperature, magnetic fields and shock and has a 300m rating.  Of course, not to mention the trit tubes for constant nite time illumination.

Man that G2 is one of my favorite offerings from the stables of Mitch!!... it is truly a wicked piece.
Zilla's are probably the best dive watch oiut there for the money and what you get, plus serviceability easy removal of the bezel for cleaning great lume, and with the adapters it really is a wonderful tool watch.


I never even knew that Ball did that watch in Titanium, I have always fancied the Alligator but get side tracked every time with something ese lol, now theres a surprise hahaha.

Tony!! those Seikos are IMO the best 200m dive watch out there,they are GREAT value for the moolah, out of them all I do like the Black/black and steel versions they most, it just has that killah look, and the size is perfect, and when Liz posted her Yellow on WUS that was it we struck a dealio ThumbsUp02.gif.

 

The Subaqua III? what was your impressions on that watch?

Nice line up there bud............the watch was rock solid and to be honest I like big heavy watches, but my 7.5" wrist could not handle it. It was about 17mm thick, all steel with a steel bracelet.....for a big fella' like you:D it would be a winner.

I love all my Citizen divers, the automatics have to be the best value for the $$ out there along with Orient.  I love my EcoZilla and consider it to be the most robust of any watch I have.  I have an Orca on the way though, it is a solid chunk o' watch too :D

Cheers,
Griff

I found it on the Bay, the seller "born2watch" out of Florida.  I got my Orient Beast and Seiko Landshark from them.  Quick shipping, good price.  The only thing is they never include the original box for some reason (gray market I am sure), but they do come with warranty info and instruction booklet.

Cheers,
Griff
