Happy belated birthday mate. That’s a lovely looking watch, that. I’ve been lusting after an all black number myself.
I was going to ask! How long did you manage to get out of it?
Looks fantastic; although I am never that much of a fan of polished links in a bracelet but it does look good in this case.
Very cool!

That’s stunning mate. Lovely choice.This one just arrived from Japan today. Been waiting for its release since about May.
The new Citizen Series 8, model 830. This has a lattice dial with a mother of pearl disk underneath. It's hard to capture the dial, but it is both subtle and not-subtle depending the light. The movement is a new in-house movement by Citizen (they are among the most vertically integrated manufacturers, along with Seiko and Rolex--they make all the parts for their watches and they also make the machines to make the parts). There are three new "series 8" watches, but this one is the most unique...so it may not be for everyone.
I made a little .gif to try and get the dial variations but it didn't really work:
A good review of the watch is here:
Citizen Series 8 new mechanical watch - the definitive hands-on, in-depth review :
We deep dive into the new Citizen Series 8 Model 830 Mechanical with a unique 3 layer metal and mother of pearl dial, as we get our hands on a loan sample for possibly the world’s first hands-on and in-depth review of this new release. Is this a game changer in the prestige mechanical watchRead More
I don't have much to add to the review, but I would say that Citizen could have put more thought into the caseback, even some engraving/insignia (or better yet, a see-thru, would go a long way). Also, the bracelet has those old "Omega-style" push-pins to remove the links, which feels a bit antiquated...I would have much prefered screws.
That said, the dial is a stand-out for me, and the case has a great geometry to it, with different levels of polished and brushed finish.
Thank you sir!

Definitely a niche piece. And a bit out of my usual orbit to be sure. I believe they are not marketing this as Miyota as far as I can tell.
