I didn't realize this until I saw old travel photographs of myself (before the days of camera phones) but I've had the stainless steel version for over 20 years! Still keeps impeccable time which I always compare to my iPhone. It is on the heavy side but after owning and selling Titanium watches the beauty of SS to Titanium is that for a very small charge, I am able to ask local jewelers to buff out blemishes and scratches on my stainless steel version and it still looks brand new after 20 years! The styling is timeless, the accuracy is incredible! No wonder Citizen is now selling this stainless steel new version on their website after such a long time. It appears that Citizen even considers it to be one of their iconic ecodrive watches. I have acquired and sold 2 Breitling automatics and one older Omega. I love those luxury watches but automatics are too finicky with constantly setting the time after a few days. This watch has become my go-to benchmark for accuracy as well as grab and go functionality!

With scratches on any brushed watch a simple red Scotch Brite pad will take out all those little scratches . It'll look brand-new .

I will always associate you with the Citizen 2100 Olaf. Your first video on this watch inspired me to buy one; I have it to this day and it is still one of my favourite watches. Sad to see you only buy them to flip nowadays but glad you still have an interest in the model nonetheless.

It takes less than a hour the put a panda white face movement in any of the caliber 2100 case's I've put 2 in the titanium case myself both of which came in the stainless steel case's . I've also put the black face into a titanium case which looks very nice.

I have your watch in Titanium Sapphire Duratect AV0020-55A but the word "TITANIUM" is written in the center of the dial just below where the hands are attached instead of where your watch has written the words "W.R. 200". Additionally , the dial is plain silver color with no striping. Probably made exclusively for the Japan market. Even rarer than the one you have excellently reviewed here. I bought it when it first came out from a Japan website. I have never seen it again on any website or forum. Would be happy to send you images if you provide an email address.

Hi. Nice watch and vid ofcourse. Hey, have you tried slapping a rally leather strap? looks like the bracelet it's almost build-in, no lugs. Am I missing something?

Scared of scratches? Stop throwing them around onto the wooden table. Use a rubber mat. Put something between watch back and bracelet before putting it down or stand it in its side. Gave you thumbs up and subscribed, before I saw you mishandling them beauties.

Thank you for the detail review. And thank you very much for organizing the reference numbers. How are you liking the one you purchased? The AV0020-55A? Is it really that much variable compared to the stainless steel? And one last question, The coloration between stainless steel and titamium with the coating which one is brighter?

Hi. Yeah the 55A is like a totally different watch. The titanium is not as bright and polished as the steel but still bright enough

@@olaf2046 I'm going to try and get one, but like you said it is hard. Very rare. And at the price you got it for is not possible anymore. I think you must have gotten it as it was getting discontinued, so some shops might have stumbled upon them and sold it at cost. If the official website don't list it the watch most models get forgotten. Now anything new is twice the price "IF" you can find one.

@Haydn Po, would you be able to message me before you put it on Ebay. I would love to have a chance to buy it from you. Is it the same Titanium one, or is it the steel version? Thanks in advanced.
