Many watch collectors have specialty collections (e.g., chronographs only, WW2 watches only, divers only, hand winds only, automatics, etc.). I started with Swatches followed by Seiko AGS/Kinetic watches, picking up a few of my grail items along the way. Incidental was the accumulation of divers watches including a Glashutte, a Luminox, and a Mido that is my usual watch for the beach or pool. I also have an original Seiko SKX399 apart from the 2 others I've acquired with replacement inserts (these I am unloading).
It seemed only natural to pursue a few divers watches anyway. And the opportunity to acquire this classic diver from Citizen came up. So I ended up getting a few Citizen divers that were in great condition and water resistant.

I got this watch for cheap and so far it has been a steal. I usually use this for the weekends including when I go to the market on Saturdays. It keeps time and has had a decent power reserve (i.e., I can leave it overnight and it is still functioning in the morning).
