Kind of late to the party on this one,but I feel compelled to share a bit about this watch. My first Citizenand I am definitely inspired to look at some more.
The BJ7010-59E is the Asian/European version of the nighthawk which Ilike a bit better than the US version because of the subtle differencesin the dial and the raised caseback (US version is etched).
Great watch for the money. Solid, heavy, and feels well put together.The bracelet is solid and fairly well made, mine has some sharp edgesand is a bit stiff - a good rub down and oiling will probably help withthis.
Size feels perfect for me ( my wrist is about 7"). Dial is crisp, thecontrast of the white/silver/red is sharp looking and easy to read -which is very nice especially considering there is a ton of informationon the dial. Crystal is clear and although there is no anti-reflectivecoating I haven't found glare to be a problem. I think some badlighting with my photos made the crystal seem a bit cloudy/hazy - inreal life it seems much clearer.
Lume is decent. My only, only knock is that the gmt function isdesignated by two smaller hands with "jet" silhouette - these can getobscured at certain times of the day by the larger hour and minutehands making the 2nd time zone hard to read. Other than that, the watchis awesome and worth every penny.
i own the US version and i love it. bracelet is awesome. i got one when this model was first issued. battery is fine too
ty for review
JDM has no "NIGHTHAWK printed on dial where as US does
Welcome to the forum apwinter. Congrats on the new acquisition. Kenny had one for sale just the other night. Whom ever snagged that one got a marvelous watch from a great guy. Other than the GMT hand, I really can't think of a real weakness if you have the wrist to mount it on. Welcome and congrats again !
i have one that's really held its quality, i bought it when it first hit the market and battery is doing well. i take really good care of it and crystal is clean and unscracted, th date window is harder to read as i get older, great review and great timepiece thats sits great on my wrist

This is my third post today unheard of, I'm a reader not a writer but I thought the posts were worth showing. I received this watch this morning spent ages setting it up after downloading an extensive PDF manual which to give you an idea took 20 mins. to print. All for naught as the battery...
I have recently purchased this watch purely on its aesthetics. It's a it of a Marmite watch you either love it or hate it, I'll leave that up to you. I know nothing about this watch neither did the seller it may even be a dastardly fake i have no idea. No doubt one of you will be able to tell...
