Any Old Citizen Aqualand owners ?

[Ahriman4891]

Honestly one of my very favorite watches! Bought mine from TLgdeL (thanks gerry for the heads up!) and its one and wont leave the bracelet Max2 gave Gerry (thanks Max2!)

Not going to leave my possession, ever.

I am the guy who despises two-tone watches with a volcanic passion. But the Aqualand manages to look awesome regardless I guess there is an exception to every rule.

funny, i hate two tone watches, and i also hate ani-digi watches!

this one can pull it off. It is honestly in my top 5 watches i own. get lots of compliments from people saying they dont like those types of watches, but love mine.

Heh, I also hate 2 tone watches. Guess it was the black and gold that did it.

Polaco- sent you a PM.

I wear mine and I am sure I have paid more than the cost of two new Aqualands over the years to have batteries changed, have it pressure tested and have it overhauled. It was my first real divewatch (or real watch of any kind, to be frank). All other watches before it were fodder for the garbage can in my opinion.

It has seen at least three rubber straps and three velcro straps come & go. I also considered it mighty expensive back in the day. I think I paid either $270 or $370 for it back around 1987. A hefty sum for me at that time.

My Aqualand is the source of my disease, so I blame it for all watches that have come after it.



She is the real McCoy! I love it and will never part with it.

What a beauty:) Had the same one as my first dive watch, gold detailing and rubber strap (first ever decent watch) Still kicking myself for losing it.

It was well over 10 yrs old when bought it(from my 1st dive instructor) paid silly money for it but was a brilliant watch. Sadly it did start glitching out after a while, Got it checked out by Citizen who reckoned the chip/mother board was KO'd. The qouted repair bill was way too much for me at that time.

Left it in the back of my cupboard for more than a year and eventually gave it to a buddy, who wanted to buy it, for no charge(cause i thought it was f'd) After he changed the battery it worked again!

I have and regularly dive with the reissue. They are truly a tool watch of the highest order. With digital Day/date, 12/24hr time, Seconds, alarm, chronograph, dive log memory, depth alarm, rate of accent alarm and elapse time. Not to forget its truly classic dive watch look with those big lum indices and big orange minute hand, all under one bezel!

I put mine on Jurgen’s Monster mesh and wear in everywhere! Dress or casual I done give a rip, it’s my dive watch!

P.S. These watches were issued to the Royal Australian Clearance divers as well as used by many US Navy Seals and Salvage divers.

Dear all,
I just wondering...
Is the original version (C023, right?) more sought-after or the reissue JP2000?
How much a C023 NOS could be? (If there's a NOS for sale)
Sorry for noob questions.
Cheers...
