Seiko Recraft Kinetic Watches
One of Seiko's more quiet new watch collections announced for 2014 was the Recraft range, which is all about re-imagining classic Seiko timepieces for today's watch lovers. Some of the Seiko Recraft watches are inspired by models that go back to the 1970s, but I wouldn't necessarily call Seiko Recraft watches to be retro-revival. More, they are a way of revisiting classic Seiko models in a modern light. Even though there are mechanical Seiko Recraft watches, the most illustrious of the pieces are these two Seiko Recraft Kinetic watches (ref. SKA651 and SKA659). Each uses a Seiko Kinetic movement and is mostly closely aligned with the 1990s' Seiko Artura Kinetic watch models.Nevertheless, it was in 1988 that Seiko made its then very innovative Kinetic family of watches available for sale for the first time. This was two years after debuting a Seiko Kinetic concept watch at Baselworld 1986. Kinetic was a fantastic creation that for the first time built a bridge between mechanical and qua

CYMA Myriad Watches
One of the new watch collections for 2011 that won't be easy to find is the "Myriad" collection from Swiss brand Cyma. While brands usually amuse/irritate me when they come up with new names for their products, Cyma actually put some thought into this one. "Myriad," as a word refers to a really large or indefinite number. The dials of the pieces have either a starry image of the "infinite" universe, or a light motif that Cyma simply calls their "infinity rhodium" dial. Like the limitlessness of space, so to is the name of the collection. Really happy Cyma didn't call the collection "Le Big Blue Bucket" or something else (adding of course the requisite accent marks all over the words).The collection comes in three ranges, being the "Chrono New World, Chrono Fascination, and City Watch." And not the names start to confuse meThe only "non universe" piece is the limited edition model called the Chrono New World. It has this special myriad watch shape, but in a black case with a Swiss Valjo

Bell & Ross Rose Gold BR-02 Diving Watch Available On JamesList.com
Who needs a gold diving watch you ask? Well no one really needs one, but that isn't the point. The standard Bell & Ross BR-02 is the active version of the serious diving watch line. The version in gold is the dressy-sexy version that alludes to deep diving, but is meant for more congenial activities.The Bell & Ross BR-02 is the less known diving version of the wildly popular BR01 watch. In a similar size and character as the BR-01, BR-02 aims for the depths instead of the skies with an equally direct emulation of the best parts of the theme (diving as opposed to flying). The watch is about 44mm wide and constructed out of solid 18k rose gold. The dial is a sporty carbon fiber that does work with the overall design. Realize that the face is design to be extremely legible, which it is. This version has the Arabic numerals, which I like.Like all good diver watches the BR-02 has a rotating bezel, but an internal one (operated by the upper crown). Water resistance is dive worthy at

Omega Seamaster Quartz late 1970s - Plz Help.
Hello everyone,I bought this watch some time ago because i liked the strap and had never seen a seamaster with a silver dial/bezel before. I believe there were two similar models available at the time, the other in a two tone with gold face, bezel and strap. The watch was going fine until the battery ran out, or so I thought.I took the watch to a really decent watchmaker who has always been more than helpful. He said they didn't make the actual batteries anymore because of some complication with the battery content but was able to fit another with some sort of cushion to allow it to fit properly. He tried this but said the battery was not at fault, the movement is gone. I really like the watch which I must admit I hardly even wore. Can anyone give me some advice on what to do. I have been told to maybe look for another 1342 watch for sale to replace the movement or should I just advertise it for spares/parts. If so, what would be a reasonable price, I don't think they even sell
