Got this watch off the forum. Never had a black (ionic plated) watch before so pulled the trigger for this watch. Great daily beater. Watch case is slim and makes this watch very light on the wrist.

Citizen Nighthawk
Breitling Colt GMT
Got this watch on the forum was slightly less than what it would usually go for because firstly the date changes at 6am instead of 12am. Secondly, it would only fit a 7" wrist and lastly no box or papers. I thought it would be a nice daily wear given the condition.
When it finally arrived, I was surprised how shinny this watch is although I had purchased a Colt II which is practically the same watch without the GMT function before. It is a nicely made watch - very striking. It is a little on the heavy side due to the bracelet. The other thing that I really like about the watch is the accuracy of time keeping, which is about +/- 3 secs a day - better than my Breitling Chrono Avenger. Maybe it is time to send my Chrono Avenger for service.
I contacted my local watch repair guy to inquire about the date change problem. He told me that if the watch is keeping good time then wait till it requires a full service to fix the problem.
Keeping this one for now :)

I have been eying this watch for quite some time and it finally popped up really cheap on one of the forums. Reason for the price is that there is a ding on the side of the case and the original strap is really worn. Other than that watch is okay. When it came, I realised it was a rather big watch - 44mm and the power reserve was that very good - I think less than 12 hours. Not sure it is the watch itself or the model. Flipped the watch without making a lost.
