John,
I don't trust Citizen automatics. I do trust Seiko and Orient automatics. At the risk of sounding like an old man who keeps repeating himself, I have a great Orient 3 Star automatic watch that I bought for US$60. It's amazingly accurate, and looks far better than it's price. If someone would tell me it costs US$600, I'd belive him/her. That's how good it looks! :_) As a matter of fact, I'm wearing it as I speak. It's my favorite watch next to my Seamaster AT.
