06 - Citizen Diver NY0040 (Black, Blue, Yellow, Lume)7460 views*Movement & Specs: Miyota Caliber 8203, handwinding but not hacking
*Chosen by: Paulc, supported by Chris L
*Why?: The Citizen NY0040 series (in black, blue, the rare yellow, and black dial with two-tone case) comes with the robust and hand-windable 8203 auto movement (mine runs less than a minute fast per week). A true 200m diver's watch, it wears a little lighter than other popular 200m divers due to its slightly smaller, rounder case. Visually, however, it wears about the same as a Seiko SKX (ie, 007/009/A35) due to its dial size. Other nice features include the screw-in crown at 8 o'clock (great for those of us with wrists that get dug by traditional 3 o'clock crowns), inky black dial (on the watch pictured) and applied indices. The lume on this one is also very good. Dimensions are: about 41mm across the bezel, 44mm incl. crown, 47mm lug to lug, 12mm thick and 20mm lug width. At just around the $100 mark on the internet, the NY0040 series offers a great deal for your money.

08 - Citizen Eco-Drive "EcoZilla"7234 views*Movement & Specs: Citizen Eco Drive
*Chosen By: Mike Lipphardt
*Why?: In the "My diver can beat up your diver" category has to be the Ecozilla. It's big, it's bad and it's very cool. While the all stainless versions can be very fun to wear they are also very heavy, which to my eyes makes the titanium and rubber version preferable. Nice blue lume, HUGE legible hands, great bezel, and a nicely designed, well guarded crown at 9 instead of 3 to improve wearability. Ecodrive means no batteries, quartz means few accuracy worries. Practical and fun, but you have to like them big at 48mm diameter.

19 - Vintage or OOP: Citizen Exceed Quartz Perpetual Calendar2489 views*Movement & Specs: Caliber E510
*Chosen by: Catalin
*Why: it is a truly historic watch since it still holds the record for the MOST ACCURATE solar perpetual calendar EVER (at +/- 10s/year). It was the FIRST solar to achieve that (and today Citizen has another caliber still in production - E780 - at that level, but that is not perpetual calendar). The precision is only surpassed 'out of the factory' by 'The Citizen / Chronomaster' (A660, still in production, +/- 5s/year but not solar) and certain limited-editions Grand Seiko (also 5s, but not in normal production and individually VFA, just like some other older very limited editions from the 80s including the +/- 3s/y Cryston 4 Mega and good ETA TC calibers - that apparently ETA does not really care too much to adjust in the factory or generally guarantee after that).
The Exceed is quite amazing with duratect Ti and coated sapphire crystal, but was a little-known very-hard-to-find Japan-only model which could be bought (well into PMWF territory) around 400 US$ - but with the US$ weakness and the model getting out of production the price for the very few NOS models are now over 500$ (and increasing) - still an amazing price.

James Enloe153 viewsLife: Born in 1970, James is a married, father of one beautiful little girl (13 months as of this writing) living in the Pacific Northwest - Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. After completing a Masters degree in Music Education in 1996 he went to work for a software reseller (Software Spectrum) and has not looked back; currently a Software Operations Business Analyst for Insight.
Watches: James has been a watch wearer for as long as he can remember with one of his earliest watches being a Star Wars digital watch with C3-PO on the dial. Throughout his childhood he wore various Casio and Seiko digital watches, mostly of the inexpensive kind. Throughout the 1990's his interest in watches grew; in 1997 he acquired a Citizen Navitimer that would be his daily wear watch for over three years. In late 2002, after a move to Boston for work, he discovered a wealth of resources on the internet, including the PMWF, which was hosted with WatchUSeek at the time. PMWF went independent shortly after that and James lost track of the site for a couple of months, finally finding it again in January of 2003. Since that time James has been a regular contributor to the site and joined the Admin team later that same year.
Role for PMWF Today: Tech Admin; maintains the PMWF Gallery and WOTM Blog; Phorum "expert"

Old Top Dog: Citizen Skyhawk (ECODRIVE)2438 views*Movement & Specs: Caliber 650
*Chosen by: Joon
*Why?: I believe the Skyhawk is the one of the most versatile & useful watches around, especially if you travel or need to know times in various countries like I do. The preset and quick change of time zones is a wonderful feature. It can be had even from ADs for about $200 and for $150 or less used. Since it's Eco-Drive it's virtually maintenance free!
We need a new photo of this watch! Have one? Email dude.with.watches@gmail.com.

Old Top Dog: Orient "Beast" (Yellow, Orange, Red, Blue, Black)2393 views*Movement & Specs: Orient In-house Caliber EX04 with Power Reserve, not handwinding, not hacking
*Chosen by: Shawn
*Why?: Price- For about 125$ U.S. delivered, you get.. Choices- Blue, Red, Yellow, Orange, Black.. Movement- The Orient In-house Caliber EX04 with Power Reserve, is not handwinding, and not hacking, but I have found it to be highly accurate for this price range. It also seems quite robust and has taken a decent amount of abuse at my hands. The combination of power reserve complication, accuracy, robustness make this very attractive for the price. Display Back- A nice feature to enjoy owning an automatic watch. combined with 200m water resist this is very nice. Shrouded case- many of use are very fond of the seiko divers with shrouded cases (300m quartz pro, 600m auto pro, 600m quartz pro, 200m pro, H558). While there is no separate shroud attachment, the intrinsic design of the case offers shroud protection to the bezel at the 3-5 and 9-11 positions. Rotating Dive Bezel- very firm ratcheting unidirectional action. superior to many of the current citizen dive bezels. Screw down crown with guard.
