Macro shots of Citizen 1000m AutoZilla...Year 2016

Interested in closeup pics of an autozilla with the zilla bracelet from Suppa?

Still swooning over my own Citizen 1000m SuppaAutoZilla after three months of ownership...

Relax and view...

The anticlockwise only bezel gets spun around unintentionally (hitting/rubbing against something) a lot when watch is worn for land duty on a daily basis. As long as real divers find it functional.

Handsome...to behold...

Hmmm...HRV...wonder if it'll vent when I climb up to a high enough mountain top after having been at sea-level?

Post millennium show of progress...no more stuck on backing plate...

Fine Adjustment of Zilla Bracelet on my Citizen 1000m Autozilla...Part 2...SuppaAutozilla...Year 2016

After 3 weeks on the road with my SuppaAutoZilla I've decided the best possible fit for my Zilla Bracelet as follows:

I've decided the previous adjustment was a touch on the tight side (imprintation of the diving helmet on wrist), so the best move was to add back a single link and using the three micro-adjustment holes provided on the clasp to take up the middle position. In this way, the added link is halved in distance to give the best fit.

A solid titanium link

Angular beauty...

Don't bother with trying to have equal number of links on both sides. I've noted that watch centralise best on top of my left wrist with the clasp similarly centralised at the bottom when the outer (as in away from the body when viewing watch dial) side is longer. In my case, two links longer.

The innermost link took up the middle position on the three adjustment holes of the clasp to provide just enough extra length for a comfortable fit for my hand.

Scratches and fit of my brand new Zilla Bracelet and Citizen 1000m Autozilla after 1 week on the road...Year 2016

The brushed finishing on my Zilla Bracelet after a week of real down to earth but careful kind of use...

Stainless steel clasp has couple of scratches. One reason for the brushed finishing to help hide them.

Links have minor scratches which are somewhat hidden by the brushed finish. The unseen wear and tear is in the interlink rotation and double ended screw cap bars contact! After six months I'll like to review this again!

Titanium adapter ends has some scratches. The curved end solid links has some inevitable titanium to titanium rubbing contact or polishing, for a better word. This is better than titanium to stainless steel contact which will definitely result in very apparent looking scratches.

Here we have a titanium link end that has minor scratching as it was previously adjusted to be halfway into the stainless steel clasp cover.

The bracelet end that joins to the clasp end with three fine adjustment holes per side has some titanium to stainless steel contact, not really scratches!

Duratect is protecting the watch case well! So far no major banging into any walls or metal. No intentions to!

Also showing the fit of the Zilla Bracelet on my hand and the scratches from when one rests the hand on table tops.

A good fit, IMO.

Comfortable yet tight enough.

Minor skin marks from fit of bracelet.

Where the clasp sits.

Diving helmet imprintation. :-)

So far so good. I would reckon the bracelet fit is good. Some may be shocked by the temporary skin imprintation. I am keeping a close watch and adjustments can be made anytime I "feel" uncomfortable.

Until then...Cheers!

Fine Adjustment of Zilla Bracelet on my Citizen 1000m Autozilla...SuppaAutozilla...Year 2016

I've had my Zilla Bracelet last adjusted about 6 days ago. It was a bit on the loose side. The watch could slide along my wrist about an inch and a half in the early morning and tighten up a bit more by midday. Still a touch too loose, IMO.

I have had the last link in the bracelet that ends in the clasp end with three fine adjustment holes shifted to the inner most hole. Watch felt fine after that but I noticed that the second last link being shifted halfway into the clasp cover got a little scratched from friction. Knowing that titanium tends to grab at other metals, this being a stainless steel clasp, I thought it makes sense to remove an extra link and shift the adjustment back out to the outermost hole. This would eliminate the scrubbing contact between the 2nd last link and the clasp cover end.

Out came my trusty modified(thinned down to fit) 1.8mm screw driver (two of them) and out came the link. Weight of my SuppaAutoZilla had dropped from the last bracelet adjustment of 222g to a current 218g.
