 A nice watch. Not sure about the steel case.
Didn't notice that - good pick-up. I'd much rather it was Ti.
Mine is the original ti case.

 This one looks pretty badass:
Wow. That minute hand could be my dick right now.
That Citizen is the classic case of form over function, which is not a mistake Citizen makes often.

It genuinely looks awesome but is a nightmare functionally. Nothing is easy to read. The dial space is tiny for the amount of indicators in the space....its just confusing. Also, that bezel design looks like its from the Zilla - which is the biggest POS bezel ever put on a dive watch.

That is the Hummer H2 of dive watches.
Meritocracy: the privilege, wealth and advancement of those who chose their parents wisely.
Capitalism: a cult that promised to do good for the worst reasons.
Nationalism: a profound longing to go back to a past that never existed.

Yep, it's a great dive watch, to be sure, presumably aimed at the younger to middle-aged diver with eyesight and capacities intact.

Certainly, it seems aimed at those who you'd only trust with some deep snorkelling and who have no sense of aesthetics.

Like my old school one made of TI. Made good use of it over they years on the boat and just screwing around at the beach. Do not like the one in the photo at all.

Fugly & hideous is way too generous of a description.
