However, for his price range, the Citizen is a nice watch.
Yeah, I think you'll be hard pressed to find even a used Aerospace on ebay for less than $1500, and that's not an E6B watch.
I've got an Emergency. Battery replacement was $300, and they cleaned it up too. You can't beat a watch with a saphire crystal. The only reason I replaced my first Citizen was that after 10 years the crystal was so scratched up you could barely see through it, although I'm pretty hard on my stuff. That thing is a tank though.
To the OP, here's a fantastic price for the stainless AT. Best aviators watch for the money IMO.
