A quirky design !

I don't buy many watches, maybe one every 2 or 3 years, I don't possess expensive watches because I don't like them ( can't afford them lol ).
I mainly buy watches (9.999 out of 10.000) with my eyes, be it on the www or in a shopping window.
But in the end I sometimes get carried away like two days ago, could be one day as well because I completely lost track of time this week.
I always wanted to buy a quartz watch and was thinking about the Seiko Arnie SNJ025 or a Grand Seiko GMT. The main problem with these watches are:
1. The Arnie: Again a Seiko ... pfff.
2. The GS: hmmm, spending a few thousands on a watch ... I'll wait until I inherit my parents money (may they live very long and prosper) .. ;-)
So while I was stuck at Dubai Airport a few days , or day .. can't and don't want to really remember, in order not to kill myself because of boredom and anxiety I strolled the watch stores .
After admiring the Fifty Fathoms for the 25th time I realized they were kind out of my budget and moved on to the Seiko's ... not much to see there. The Grand Seiko section was okay , but nothing really special to see.
And suddenly I saw it ! That damn green Citizen that has been in my head for several months now. I had never really seen it in the flesh and when the very nicesales person took it out of the tray I immediately fell in love!
What more could I desire for ? Finally a quartz, eco-drive (Solar Dial) and it's a diver .. and it looks quirky as hell ! Hell yeah !
Since I was wearing my Emperor I could make an immediate comparison and it dawned on me this Citizen I a perfect addition to my very humble collection !
Both watches have a titanium case, base Ti for the Citizen as mentioned on the back.
So here is the Citizen Promaster (don't know the reference).
Striking resemblance
Full gear !
