Just picked this timepiece up not to long ago, it's really a solid well made dive watch. I am in love with this thing. (Hope you all enjoy my photos) Camera_photos.gi               Last edited on Mon Feb 22nd, 2010 11:25 pm by |

Love that watch, hard to find them around and I'm not really willing to spend the $1500 MSRP or whatever on the thing. How much did it set you back if you don't mind me asking? |

Well this is the Eco-Drive model, it only retails for $450. I paid $229 new for it, but they are all sold out at that price. The model you may be thinking of at $1500 is the Autozilla. |

Ah you're right, I'm thinking of the 1000meter pro diver with the HE valve. Damn MSRP 1750 haha. Maybe getting an eco zilla wll be my final reign as a sears jewelry manager. haha special order that baby at 50% off. |

First, welcome to 3T Mr.Horology! As much as I can try to, I'm just not a Citizen guy. Hey, that's life! But if there is one watch that Citizen can be proud of, it's the EcoZilla and AutoZilla IMO. A friend of mine has the ecozilla and it's a very impressive timepiece. For once, Citizen didn't copy Seiko and went with their own original design, bravo for this. Yes it looks like a door knob  but this is the nicest door knob I've seen to date. This watch is built like tank and is simply one of the, if not, the toughest watch of it's price range IMHO. For sure one of the best value for the $ on the market, not for me but this watch looks waaaay more expensive that it's price tag IMHO. Big congrats for your new instrument!And by the way, great pics!!! |

Great Pics !!!!!!! And a Great Watch!!!!! I had one and loved the look and the overall quality, an amazing piece. I flipped it because the SS version was just to heavy. Keeping my eye out for a titanum version. |

Warm welcome to 3T, Mr Horologyhand6.gif. I always liked that design whether its the EcoZilla or AutoZilla and sure would welcome an AutoZilla in my collection anytime. I just prefer the bigger dimensions.:) Two thumbs up for your super photoshand6.gifhand6.gif |

Unless I missunderstand you amigo. That thing is a monster and I can easily picture you with the Autozillahand6.gif This is no small puppy... |

The Eco-Zilla is a good sized timepiece, it does play a little smaller because the dial is smaller and bezel is larger. I think the Autozilla is something like 55MM though. |

I'm pretty sure the actual cases are the same size with the exception of the crown guard on the AutoZilla, the crown guard makes the total diameter 55mm |

Nice looking watch and good pictures! I've allways been suspicious about the mvts running in those Citizen watches...Anyway, I'm not attracted by Myiota... Jeff, you can laugh again but you know that it's agaisnt my religion to buy those watches:D. Anyway, everybody got his taste and opinion;) |

William Unto each his own - I agree. However, those Miyota's may not be the best loking engines, but they are rock solid and have a good track record. I have a couple of watches with those movements, and after tweaking them a bit, they run very well indeed. Mr H, welcome and enjoy! |

That's what made me a WIS at start: The fine ingeneering... I bought a Hamilton 992B just for that;) and hope to find a case for it one day. And I want a glass back on my Zenith Elite 670!!! What the hell was Zenith thinking by hiding it??? Hahaha I agree that a 2824-2 is not the best looking but it seems much better than a Miyota in my eyes when a man hit the middle prices |
