docdoowop Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hey guys! Which one do you prefer ? Skyhawk (no watchmaker will open because the caseback says not to and to send it to a service center. Apparently, Citizen wont provide dealers or watchmakers with the special tools required to do repairs or cleaning on the watch) Nighthawk, standard eco-drive that any watchmaker can open and fix.

cougaree Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I have a nighthawk. I like it a lot, but its crystal is mineral, so scratch easy. I haven't worn it for many years because of the scratched crystal. I really wish citizen can upgrade this watch with sapphire crystals.

docdoowop Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 the steel version of the Skyhawk is mineral glass too but the titanium Skyhawk is sapphire crystal I lean toward the Skyhawk.... I guess i like busy dials.... like Breitlings and such... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I say get the one with sapphire crystal. You won't regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subbiesrock Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 If tou get a watch with a busy dial, go all the way. First one looks cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdoowop Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 If tou get a watch with a busy dial, go all the way. First one looks cool Yeah.... the busy dial on the Skyhawk is eye catching especially with the subtle orange accents... and the cokcpit-like look.... the Nighthawk is like many other watches out there with only a different dial configuration.

mbjoer Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Freind of mine has a Skyhawk with water on the inside of the crystal. Don't know the circumstances, but he does have a pool............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FROGMAN Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) I like the nighthawk myself. Citizen actually offered these in black....they were AWESOME! I'm sure you could find one still for sale. Edited August 16, 2011 by FROGMAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ddc Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I have a nighthawk that am selling at another forum. The case itself is ok but the glass is terribly scratched. Am selling it for very low price for someone with skill to do a build... Or maybe someone could change the glass for sapphire!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
