Finally sized up the bargain citizen promaster auto (ny-0086-83l) and it wears really well. Feels like an old friend. There is some negatives though. The bracelet, while it is actually comfortable, it's so cheaply made and is hard to get the clasp on as the pressed steel distorts. It's secure once on. But then it includes a micro adjust divers extention that makes finding the perfect fit so easy. Why can citizen include this excellent feature but omega can't offer the same in a vastly more expensive Speedmaster bracelet? The case itself is good, nice brushed surfaces and polished rounded case edges.
The movement though... Not the smoothest to adjust and the day change positively graunching. Not sure if normal. Will see about accuracy after this week.

Overall, I like it.
