That citizen is nice actually. Suffers a bit from 'cross-eyed chronograph' syndrome (why don't makers just make a bigger movement if they are going to make a bigger case?) but I do like it.
The thing with replicas is that even if you have one that fools everyone else, you will know. So you'll always feel (and be) a little bit of a fraud. And there's no point. You'll also be reminded of the watch you cannot afford every time you check it. A good cheap Casio or Citizen will always be a better watch, and you'll not feel like a tit every time you wear it. If you want a particular brand you can get vintage ones of the 'not famous' models for not much money. I've even see 1930s Rolexes go for the low hundreds.
