I hate it when this happens 🤦‍♂️ So I found the Citizen Monaco 8110-901107-Y chronograph with golden/yellow(Y) dial at the end of Feb. And obviously only then started to sort of dig into what had I purchased (I mean I wasn't a complete stranger to 81** movement / Citizen Monaco, but...).

This watch was (presumably) available only in green and golden dial variants. And low and behold, while digging in, I bump into a green dial ref 8110-901115-KA which I thought wasn't a total bargain, but not completely unreasonably priced either and in considerably better condition than the Y variant. And why have one, when you can have both... 🤷‍♂️

P.S. That’s how it’s done, @G___, @clockoclock ;-)

It’s idiotic to not have two if you can.

(Tell me if you’re selling, though)

The mental gymnastics to justify this goes along the lines that in the long run, if parts run out then one or the other could work as a donor.

Maybe but more likely this is the reason you will buy a 3rd ( or maybe more) ask me how I know!

As long as each one makes you feel different they’re different watches in my book. It’s why i gravitate to exotic dials.

Another Camaro. I think the Camaro is possibly my favourite watch.
Despite owning more than ten over the years, including several exotic noir dials, I’ve never had a 3 register noir exotic dial until today.

Excellent dial, beautiful fade on the tachy and nice case. Shortly going away for a service.

My second Citizen Deluxe Para Shock arrived today, EBay auction purchase, only $101 US before shipping, duty and taxes. The dial and caseback are in excellent condition. 34.5mm diameter, only 8.5mm thin. There is so much dial that I thought I somehow bought a 36mm case size.
