Seiko Ananta Automatic Watches
It has been a few months since I was in Japan visiting with Seiko. Shortly thereafter I wrote about the Spring Drive versions of their newish and impressive Seiko Ananta line of watches. If you recall, Ananta is Seiko's first line of high-end watches for the world market. The watches totally changed my perception of the brand, and I think if you check them out they will change the way you look at Seiko as well. The Spring Drive watches aren't cheap. While they are a great value for the money, the Seiko Ananta Spring Drive Chronograph watch can still get up to the $6,000 - $7,000 range. This is a larger amount of money than many people are able to spend on a watch - an important point as Seiko is such a globally "worn" brand.

another pilot has landed
here is the 5524G which i got yesterday (as mentioned in the other thread on the pilot that has landed). unfortunately i cannot wear it properly until the AD gets the shorter strap from PP. actually, i saw a pic of a 5524G with a dark blue croc strap from camille fournet, which i am thinking of ordering.other than that: amazing lume, amazingly good readability and cure of details. nevertheless it could be a great everyday watch. it is my first WG watch, which i like very much.bad news: my 5712R is gone:::((( well, you know how it goes, wife's rule said one watch in, one watch out:::))).ps: possibly the days where the 5524G was rare could be gone since apparently a whole bunch of them was delivered ton ADs in europe (don't know about asia and the US though).

I want to buy a Rolex
Is it too much Rolex to ask that I can walk into a store and just buy or order a Rolex that I would like to own and that you can fulfil the stores requests so customers can have a watch? Can’t you just get scale up or down to meet customers demands or are you not willing to and thus keeping other people who have no intention of keeping a watch in business as this is not good business.AD places orders you supply to order what’s the problem with that ?
