The difference between a 6498 and a 6497 for those interested

Guess ?

Stunning, both, but I think I prefer the Traversetolo... for no specific reason.
And no... I can't possibly guess. Hahaha...

Haven't gotten a new watch to post picts of until this past Christmas. I have always loved the Citizen Eco-Drive watches for their unique function and classic clean styling. My wife gave me this watch for Christmas last December and I love it. I had given her the ladies version of this Eco-Drive watch about 5 years ago so we match now. Ain't love grand! I especially like the bracelet band design. It makes the watch feel like it is a part of my wrist instead of being a weight strapped to it.

Sure you can... I'll give you a hint. The 6498 has the second hand at 6 and the 6497 has the second hand at 9.

Well... I have a 50/50 chance of screwing this up. But based on what I can see... I'm going with the 6497.

So...
For this week, I've decided to put on an oooooold favorite.
This chunk of a watch was one of my first big, fun multifunction, analog, digital watches. Incredibly accurate (well, duh, it's quartz!), light (titanium) and handsome (to me).
Alarm, 12-hr chrono,
Just love this thing.
Put a new battery in it on Sunday and had a bitch of a time setting it with the pushers (covered by my sleeve)... they were sticking and not working very well... so until and unless I get it overhauled, this could be the last battery.

I've had it since... maybe 1995 or '96?

Beast of a timepiece, sir. Killing the game!

Me too...!!!
It sort of has a pewter look, in a way. Stainless is nice but bright. Titanium is muted. My Sinn is titanium, as is my old Fortis. Really love the look and fee. And yes, light!

So, speaking of Fortis and Titanium... here is the Cosmonauts Chronograph, with the original Lemania movement.
A lot lighter than it looks... and one tough bugger.

Definitely looks like it weighs a ton!

You also said “Fortis”, immediately reminded me of Fortnite. Gracious me (I don’t play the game).

Yes... but I also have photos of my past watches. A few...

Like this beauty, which I rather regret selling.
I can't even remember why I did. Wonderful timepiece.
