I just couldn't resist.  This will be my first Citizen watch, the BL5315-50E is a new Citizen model with the well known Eco-Drive movement in it (solar powered quartz).  I was just doing my daily check at Watchdoddy and saw that beast for the second time in a week at $149 including shipping.  Well, shipping included if you live in the states, since I'm in Canada, shipping was an extra $40. Still a good deal but went on ebay and found one brand new at $169 shipped, done :D.  It has a busy dial but I like it.  I think Citizen is a great brand with high quality timepieces but I always stayed away from their diver's watches that, for many of them, were designed with huge influence from Seiko.  Of course they have their own original designs as well, like the Ecozilla, Orca and this one.
This watch will make a great grab and go with tones of functions and a perpetual calendar.  It's massive and I find that Citizen has some of the best SS bracelet on the market.  As for the size, I don't know really since depending on sites, it's rated between 44mm and 49mm, anyway, it looks massive, and I really like the look. 

Will post pics and quick review when it lands.  What do you guys think?  I borrowed the pics from a seller on ebay ;)...

I like it!

It does have a busy dial, as you said, but a lot of chronos do. Still it does have a rugged sort of beast look to it.
