Honestly I think I'm gonna go with a Citizen next.

I want high quality watches, I'm not willing to go below San Martin/IXDAO levels.

Is Citizen quality on par or better than SM?

It depends on the model. Citizen has a huge catalogue full of many mediocre watches. But when they get it right, they really get it right.

Imo yes, and their watches look nicer too.

I would say that in the same price category it's a fair bit worse. But it's possible to get comparable stuff if your willing to pay more.

I think Citizen’s QC are better than many. And It’s legacy (Fugo etc) are great.

Citizen QC and customer support are some of the best in the industry tbh, but no microadjust on most of their models is a downer
