Those who are familiar with my watch collection know that I am more of a strap person than a bracelet one, and I pretty much have shunned integrated bracelets, but this one has been calling to me for a long time. Since I decided to slow down (yeah, I know, not much real chance of that but I am trying...), I thought I would grab some pieces that I really like but have hesitated buying. When I first saw the Citizen cal. 2100 chronograph it was the LE Bullhead version but I was too late to the party and haven't seen one ever for sale. My second choice was the standard style black dial but the integrated bracelet stopped me. When I saw the titanium model though I put it on my wish list, but way down the list as a "roundtuit" :D. When I was on the Bay the other day I did a random search and saw some, NIB with stamped dealer papers for less than half retail so I jumped on it. It came today and I am most pleased, this is one awesome watch! Ti case and bracelet so it is feather light for such a large watch. I love the textured dial layout, especially the power reserve meter since I never know how low the charge is in my other 3 Eco-drives. Plus, this is the only quartz chrono that I have seen that resets instantaneously just like a mechanical, and the chrono sweep runs in 1/5 second "ticks" rather than the one second at a time motion. The alarm is an extra plus. I just got it sized to wear tomorrow, haven't had a chance to do any Q&D pics or wrist shots yet, I'll do that when I get home from work. Only one thing, the bracelet uses split collars and solid pins like the Seiko Monster/Samurai bracelets, I almost lost the split collars! If you are on the fence with this watch, grab it!

Very comfortable, probably the most comfortable large watch I have hand6.gif It really is unique, the chronograph totally "feels" mechanical, the sweep runs at 1/5 sec intervals, and the chrono totalizers also move gradually rather than snapping to the next interval, almost like they are geared rather than on stepper motors. I heard there was an article on the 2100 in WatchTime awhile back, I gotta find it! I didn't get a chance for pics today, plus it was dark, gloomy and rainy. It supposed to be nicer tomorrow so I can get a better shot. Cheers, Griff

Found the article at Watchtime, the 2100 is mostly hand assembled out of 294(!) components. They are made in the same workshop as the completely hand assembled Campagnolas (and Tony's awesome Citizen Eco-Drive Moonphase). Every Citizen watch I have bought has been tremendous value for the dollar, from the <$100 auto divers to my collection of Eco-Drives (now numbering 4 - Nighthawk, EcoZilla, a Bund style chrono and the 2100). Now if I could only afford a Campagnola! Cheers, Griff
