Congratulations Thomas.
Can you also ask Citizen to stop making odd sized lug widths and also use a radio controlled module in their Signature line? I have already asked, but maybe you have more connections.

The price didn't bother me and I was interested until I saw the thickness.
20mm is a killer.
Nice looking watch. I guess the thickness of the watch would be appealing to many people.
