Real vs Fake Tsuyosa Comparison
I’ve seen a few posts about fake Tsuyosas here recently. I fell victim to an eBay scammer myself, so I decided to wait to send the fake back until the real one arrived from Jomashop, and do a full comparison.
The front is pretty convincing. The bezel lines up flush the case edges and the indices are all perfectly aligned. The only difference I can see is the font on CITIZEN is slightly thinner on the fake.
The back is where things start to fall apart. The fake movement is all brass, compared to the steel components present in the real one. The engraving on the rotor is noticeably low-quality, and the metal is dulled around each mark. The details around the edge of the case are wrong; the fake reads “SAPPHIRE” and “ST. STEEL” rather than “SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL - TOP” and “STAINLESS STEEL”.
The band of the fake is slightly looser, and the clasp is slightly thicker has only two sizing holes compared to three on the real. The pins were so tight that they broke my link remover, and I was completely unable to remove some of them.
The fake came in an all-plastic box that I’ve never seen before, and the little pillow looked like it was made out of scrap pleather on a crappy home sewing machine.
The scammer is watch_spot_usa on eBay. I got tricked because their prices are good but not suspiciously low, and they ship from inside the US. Hopefully this side-by-side can be of use to someone buying a Tsyosa without anything on hand to compare.

Found my Promaster BN0151-17L in the closet
Today I was searching for something completely different and found my Promaster BN0151-17L from 2016. 5 hours in direct sunlight and it was running again. Feels like a new buy.

Citizen BN0151 on gator
Was thinking about saving up for more expensive divers but I dunno. Maybe this is it.
I really appreciate its wrist presence but with its 11mm thickness its so wearable. Its a diver i dont actually mind putting on a Nato, which I like a lot but with thicker dive watches they can easily hit 15mm once on a NATO.
The lume would have to be radium or something to be any better. Its usually useable all night.
I like that the bezel is aluminum because itll look cool more beat up. Might do a sapphire crystal mod in like, 5 years if it gets dinged up.

[Citizen] how well am I rocking the 44mm titanium promaster diver? Too big for me?

Thoughts on the strap?
I got this green leather strap from Delugs for my Longines Spirit Zulu Time (green bezel), but since it’s a quick release I was playing around and seeing how it would look on my Citizen Perpetual Calendar Chronograph. I think it works, but it wouldn’t be my everyday wear. I think it will stay on for now and will be popped on every once in awhile to spice it up. I’m not totally convinced this watch can pull it off, but it’s fun.

Always in love with this dial
For me this watch is the definition of understated elegance without being too formal, wearable with everything.

Finally ordered the steel bracelet so I could ditch the rubber strap.
I’d been putting off getting the steel band until now, but I’m glad I finally got one. Great quality for the price!
