Obligatory "Shaggy pose"
My search for an Omega Speedmaster Professional continues. But in the meantime, I ran across this little gem. A 2nd Generation Citizen Eco-Drive Skyhawk "Blue Angels". It's pre-loved, but came with both boxes, all the manuals and extra links.With my love of naval aviation, this watch definitely falls squarely in my wheelhouse. It will be the new "top gun" of my watch collection.
C'mon, you had to know that one was coming.
There are a couple of flaws, namely a deep scratch on the bezel and a chip missing in one of the yellow points. Other than that, it's normal wear and tear. I'm confident I can resell this for at least $100 more than I paid for it. Funny, because the guy that sold it to me probably thought the exact same thing when he bought it.
Watch the canopy, Goose!

Very nice.
Most of the watches I've owned since high school have been Seikos in the $150-175 range.
For college graduation, my wife bought me a beautiful Longines tank watch I'd admired for months at Northeast Mall - about $650 at the time. Wore it during dinner at Cheddar's that evening, and glancing at it every two minutes, found insufficient contrast between the hands and the dial that I couldn't quickly read the dang thing, we returned it the following Monday.
I have that problem with my Invicta. Silver hands on a silver dial are impossible to see at a glance.
