will they get the recognition they deserve. Unquestionably, the quality of those Grand Seiko's are equal to or better than the best made.

The Seiko Astron is new to me, but perhaps I am just behind the times. The fact that it automatically adjusts to your time zone is something I thought I would never see, and certainly never heard of. We folks who love our mechanical watches may someday be considered old fools, and our watches, well just plain old OLD. http://www.seiko-astron.com/#/lineUp/model01/

Bring some Bucks!

that SHIT switch has thrown me for a loop. Should it be labeled "Oh Shit" or what?

Chronographs! I dislike all the dials and other nonsense (at least to me) that clutters the dial just to enable the use of a Chronograph about once every five years or so. What I dislike even more is that at least 80% of the watches on display at any retailer is a Chronograph. Now that tells me that they must be selling well and that my taste is weird to say the least. Don't get me wrong.

kept it for 10 years. It had a Chev. 327 cu. in. V8 and a three speed column shift. The interior was gorgeous for its day. No car I have ever owned came close to drawing attention as it did. Every time a parked it, someone would be gauking at it when I returned. Because it was faily rare, few knew what it was.

If it is near any us, we can be more watchful at local pawn shops.

She wants a ladies dress watch with a perpetual calendar (date or day-date). She would prefer one that does not need batteries, but not mechanical either (mechanicals are too large). I tried searching the net but am unable to find such an animal. I am guessing that the perpetual calendar electronic chips are too large for a ladies watch. Can anyone help?

I get along just fine with my Microsoft/Intel desktop sporting an Intel, i7, 2600K with dual high resolution (1920 x 1200) 24" monitors, and an ordinary cell phone using Trackphone. Several years ago I purchased a fancy wireless HP laptop but ended up giving it to my daughter because I seldom used it. However, I found the thread to be very informative and rather heartwarming because it helped

It's a shame to put such a terrible face on a great movement. In fact, as far as I am concerned, Seikos' entire line of "Retrograde" is far outside of my tastes.

Chris, I guess the problem is that I do not need to wear glasses except for reading. When I sit down to read I put on glasses and its worth it, but putting on glasses just to glance at my watch is a quite inconvenient.

After I snapped on my trusty Seiko this mourning my wife says, "Why aren't you wearing your Rolex?" I said, "Because with those small hands and my poor eyesight, I can hardly tell what time it is with it." She says, "You don't wear your watch to tell the time, you wear it to look good." I scratched my head and wondered, is she right. Anyway, I put away my Seiko and snapped on the Rolex.
