Citizen: Pro Master NY-0040. The best dive watch Citizen has ever made!!! 

Totally agree and I love Seiko.

Maybe for flying maybe so. But from a guy who did 4 deployments and spent all my time on the ground in Afghanistan I will have to respectfully disagree for the many reasons I stated in my video. Thanks for the comment. Cheers.

They already have swept in… As well as other brands… Most people don’t even know that psychos lost market share over the last five years

The hope is that Seiko gets even better. Seiko is still king of Japanese watches.

@@mistadopeman Totally agree, love my Seiko's, flaws and all lol

I love Seiko. I mod and build seiko based watch’s. Citizen is definitely stepping up there game for sure.

Much appreciated and I totally agree.

That is a a cool point. I did not notice that. Thanks for info and watching and commenting.

I'm going to have to go look at mine lol. I just picked up the new Citizen Divers 200 Titanium all black. Loving it. Going to give it a good wear before I do a full review but so far super impressed with it. Again thanks for watching and commenting.

Good info thanks for passing on.

Awesome, I don’t think you will be disappointed at all. I have four eco-drive 😂. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Why thank you 😂

@@DivingIntoWatches-jb5ri I have a Longines VHP and a Hamilton Khaki Auto. But looking to buy a Citizen Eco Drive. I enjoyed your review. Thanks.

@@Scout-nj7xj gorgeous pure class watch’s. Nice pieces. This watch would be a nice addition to your collection.

It’s great watch. I have several citizens and love them. Thanks for watching and commenting.

That’s some damn good advice! Thanks for sharing. I’m definitely going to do that. Thanks for sharing and watching.

Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for the comment.

Yes I'd like to see a review of the one you built

@@thereader7776 I will work into the rotation.

I just love mechanical old school feel. Yes 15 years is a long time on a capacitor for sure.

Eco drive is a great watch. I understand about so many great watch’s and hard to choose. I’m sure whatever you get will be awesome.thanks for watching. Hope you subscribed.

Awesome and thank you. I will check out that bracelet.

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching and commenting.

I would say you are a Citizen fan for sure. I do love the four I own. I will be reviewing the others so stay tuned.

The blue version looks terrible in the official advertising photos. In real life it is gorgeous! A beautiful rich, dark blue with subtle sunburst effect. Probably the most comfortable diver I have worn (not including the stock strap).

😂😂😂

Those are clearly diving shorts lol

@@MrBacchus18 😂

Thank you so much 👍

Thanks for watching and commenting.

Orient is an excellent watch and they are owned by Citizen. I have a review coming on the new Mako-3 I just picked up. Kamasu is a great watch.

@@DivingIntoWatches-jb5ri Orient is owned by Epson, which is Seiko. Their movements are derivatives of of the old 6000 series Suwa made movements. And Suwa is now Epson.

The NY0040 is a solid watch . I love mine. I’m glad I did get a skx Pepsi back in the day.

Very cool. I did some diving back in the day when I was stationed in Hawaii. It’s an excellent watch for sure.

Yeah the skx models have gotten really expensive on the gray market. Glad I picked mine up before that. Thanks for watching.

007 is one I don’t have and should have picked one up back in the day. Thanks for watching.

That watch is gorgeous. Well now you have the upgraded movement so that is a good thing. Congrats on the watch and definitely a keeper.

Haha a healthy profit what the hell.what are you a fallout 4 merchant 🙂. Funny stuff.

That’s awesome, glad you got your hands on one. I think they will become more scarce as popularity continues to rise for Citizen and some their great older designs.

Picked one new a week ago and it was $169 USD.

@@Asianredneckwoman killer deal. Congratulation. You will love the watch.

Yeah, I agree it is a totally awesome watch.

Congrats. Very cool. I totally relate to the anticipation lol. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@DivingIntoWatches-jb5ri you're welcome. I just got into watches at Christmas last month. Bought a Seiko Prospex, and an Invicta Pro Diver & Grand Diver and saw the Citizen and decided to grab it.

@@highwayman1224 Those are good watches. Welcome to the journey down the watch rabbit hole lol.

Good choice! Sounds like you are going down the rabbit hole. Thanks for the info, watching and commenting.

@@DivingIntoWatches-jb5riso I commented at the beginning of the video. I just saw the strap it came with. That’s definitely a strap for a Casio AMW320….

Very nice. I regulate all my watch’s. I will probably do a video on regulating a movement eventually not has hard as it sounds. Thanks for the comment.

Please do a video on regulating the movement. @@DivingIntoWatches-jb5ri

@@paulgardner6388 that’s a good idea, I will look into putting a video together.

Wow that is awesome. That’s an old and still going. Proves the strength and reliability of citizen.

Thank you for the kind words. I'm trying to put better and better content each time. Here is the link to the band. They have tan, green and a green with a yellow strip. I have all three. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09N7T72LZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That’s a steal! Great job. It’s an awesome watch.

I have not seen that model. Very cool.

Awesome you got a great watch for sure.

I will have to take a look at that one. I have the Citizen Promaster Aqualand BN2038-01L. Its the Pepsi dial one. I love it. I plan to do a full review on it. I will try to work in the review rotation over the next few weeks. Thanks for the comment and watching.

@@DivingIntoWatches-jb5ri thank you, the model #C506-000711 TA, GN-4-S.

Totally agree. Thanks for watching.

You are absolutely correct. Its the calibre 2100. I had a brain fart. To many numbers in my head and getting old. Thanks for the catch. Cheers.

I love that watch. Would love to get my hands on one. That is an awesome watch Congrats.

@@DivingIntoWatches-jb5ri thank you I am very lucky to have and it's very cherished

yeah its a great watch.

It’s pretty damn durable. I have seen people swap out the mineral for a sapphire. That’s always an option. Thanks for watching and commenting.

lol didn’t event notice that. My wife just made the same comment. 😂

Muahahahaha I just read this comment while watching and now can't unsee it!

I will do a RU-vid short on that post it.

Awesome. Mark at Long Island is great. I have bought a couple watch’s from him. They are on my list to review.

I was gonna get a jubilee today and he's sold out right now

Thank you for the kind words. Here is the link. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09N7T72LZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

LMAO to funny. I will look into that. I will take the back head rest off lol.

Yeah the strap is very similar. I always change mine out. With the popularity growing maybe strap code will do that.

Long Island Watches got a oyster and jubilee bracelet for it

Mine was basically the same and stiff and uncomfortable. I never keep the straps, I always up grade them.

That’s a bummer.

Yeah citizen is know but not to level or following of seiko. With seiko prices and QC, the update on this watch citizen popularity is growing. It’s definitely an awesome watch. I worked with the 1st RAR on my last deployment to Afghanistan. Great bunch of guys. Cheers and thanks for the comment.

Appreciated, thanks for the input.

Yes, I have never had an issue with them. They pop right in and hold the watch tightly.

I too have never had an issue the quick realize spring bars. They hold really well.

The mic just didn’t pick it up, I would have had to pull the watch off camera to get it close enough to my mic. They are not loud but you hear it and it definitive.

@@DivingIntoWatches-jb5ri thanks, might pick this one up! Great review !

If it’s NY0040 then yes it should be regardless of the movement.

@@DivingIntoWatches-jb5ri thanks

Tough question. I love both. For the money and QC I would go with the citizen. If you are a seiko fan then the turtle for this history and look. If you can pull it off both lol. But if I hav to chose one it would be the Citizen. Hope that helps.

​@@DivingIntoWatches-jb5rithanks for the reply. I can fortunately have both, but I like to go slowly. I think I'll go with the citizen.

@@rpmalhado good choice.

Yeah I love my chrono. It’s a great watch heavy, but an eco drive that just had its capacitor changed out. As for being Vulcan? Live long and prosper. Cheers.

@@DivingIntoWatches-jb5ri your watchmaker does capacitors?

@@jamesblonde2271 I build my own and mod watches, but major repairs I do have a watch repair shop I take mine to in Az, yes.

@@DivingIntoWatches-jb5ri Hmmmm, research needed.....

@@jamesblonde2271 I would just google local watch repair. Any competent watch repair place can change it. Basically just like a batter.

Honestly, I thought it would at first. But you truly don’t notice the crown at all. Super comfortable to wear all day long. Can’t go wrong with this watch.

Sorry I meant to say does it dig being the crown on the left ? have to see one in person and try it out.

@@richardbosh4522 no it doesn’t dig in at all.

I will re-measure mine and post a short with calibers on it.

Yeah you can change out to a sapphire as long as a new gasket is used and put in should work just fine.

@@DivingIntoWatches-jb5ri thanks 👍. Any recommendations on where to get the sapphire crystal for the ny0040?

@@DaltonMirklestein I did a quick google search and it looks like Aliexpress and eBay would be the best places to start. Its a relatively easy job with the right tools. Let me know how it goes.

@@DivingIntoWatches-jb5ri thx man 👍

@@DaltonMirklestein Let me know how it looks.

Oh boy lol. I guess if you are going for price, horology aspect, military history etc. The citizen. But if you can pull it off both lol. They are both awesome.

Value on an item is something that each person must decide. If you can pick one up $200 US, great. I also look other other things beyond just the finish and movement, but again that's for each person to decide what they feel they are willing to pay. I never judge anyone for what they pay for something as that's between them and the item. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@DivingIntoWatches-jb5ri Your speech makes a lot of sense, because it is based on objective data. The fact is that its folded sheet steel bracelet is really very poor. While the rubber one,It does not have a long life, because it makes it break quite easily. Furthermore, there is that play that the ring makes when pressed on it, because there is a space in which the sand is inserted with a certain ease. and finally it has normal mineral glass, and not sapphire. In fact, it was a friend of mine who had bought it who told me all these things. But I repeat, despite everything, with a fair list price, plus a little discount in the store, It's worth taking...without thinking twice. Because ultimately, he's a good diver. Thank you for your reply.

@@longobardialfonso8376 Hmm, I don't see that in this case as this one is the re-release with an update movement etc. As for the bracelet I always say in my videos that the area almost all watch makers skimp is on the bracelet and i typically will always change them out for a FKM rubber strap, better leather etc. I agree on the band. The original one sucked for sure.

@@DivingIntoWatches-jb5ri Luckily... you can easily go to the after market to find what you need to solve the problem!

Exactly

1998 to 2010= over a decade

Rubber would be nice. All the straps that have come on my citizen and seiko dive watch’s except for my aqualand and king turtle have been terrible.

It’s a tan elastic strap from Amazon. Just search French airborne strap on Amazon and it should come up. Let me know if not. I will get you exact info. Thanks for commenting and watching.

Yeah the camera when it’s on me reverses everything lol. It’s weird, good catch. Thanks for watching.

Yeah I ditched the chair for videos lol.

Hmm I don’t have those issues. And mine keeps good time. Maybe you got a bad one?

Most definitely lol. Deepest I have ever dove was 100ft. But hey just in case lol

It’s not a left model. Citizen makes many divers with the crown on the left. This watch was discontinued and recently reintroduced with an updated movements. Thanks for watching. As for the strap I have tons of factory ones from different watch’s and grabbed this one just to make the point of the quality which is the same as this citizen. It’s not from a Casio it’s from Aqualand I have that I bought early in my service days.

Not bad, and with a time-grapher you could probably regulate that out.

I don’t think anyone in the comments or in the video said they were a pro diver lol.

As for pro divers the navy and coast guard have plenty, then there is the whole world of commercial divers. As for the video and I never mentioned pro diver. If you mean the ISO certification for for the watch, well that’s just extra layer of cool factor and stamp of approval on a dive watch. Thanks for the comment. Cheers.

What? These are for SCUBA diving, not jumping into a pool.

@@JB-wc9fz what? You never scuba dived in a pool 😂. Anyone who does any form of water sports, active outdoor life, military, etc. wears these types of watch’s for the water resistance, toughness etc. that’s like saying chronograph watches are only for people who drive race cars lol. Thanks for comment. Cheers.

They are all too busy pro life or pro choice, no room for pro diver...

On the new version of the NY-0040 citizen uses C3 Superluminova. On the older model they did not. Thanks for commenting and watching.

Old video. You have clearly haven’t watched the current videos lol. Thanks for commenting.
