I got mine a few days ago. Very fast shipping. It wears quite large, due to the integrated bracelet and the "extended" lug distance. Not recommended for those with small to average wrists.
I call it my poor man's Oceanus. It compares to the OCW-S100, which I also own. Both are solar-quartz three-handers with date, titanium case and titanium integrated-lug solid-link bracelet with foldover clasp and sapphire crystal. Both have excellent, long lasting lume on the hands and indices. The Citizen actually has larger areas of lume that are as bright and long lasting as the Casio.
The differences: milled (Casio) vs stamped (Citizen) clasp, Citizen is a bit bigger and wears that way, Casio has radio control and "worldtimer" functions, and the general finish of the Casio is much better.
Some people have claimed fake watches are being sold on eBay. Does anyone have any indication, suspicion or doubt that this seller might be incurring in said malpractice?

It says "Manufacturer refurbished" but I do believe it's actually new but gray market. Does say new in the detailed description.

61k reviews on the seller and most are positive. I don't think they make fake citizens, do they?

The Citizen is a bargain at $99 for what you get.
