Over the last few years here?at?watches-dealer,?we have been closely covering?the interesting developments of not just smart watches, but also of GPS controlled watches. One of the?most important models �C and in fact trend-setters �C is the Astron line by Seiko.

Vintage Omega Seamaster caseback question
I had never seen such a caseback engraving before and asking if any vintage Omega experts might know about or have seen similar casebacks. The watch is in bad shape and looks like a a similar case as a vintage Omega Automatic I currently own. Mine is a 1965 and this looks like that era model. But it is not a dive watch for sure - looks like a model that fell between the dive line and the Deville models. So did Omega use the Seamaster name on some non-dive watches?Any insights are much appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Illuminating dial markers/hands
Hello all,Just to share a piece of info I picked up along the way and invite any similar experiences.I recently found out that if your hour markers/hands on your omega are becoming dull or almost non existent you can apparently re-charge them by shining a bright light into the face for a few seconds.I have tried with a bright torch (only thing I could think of to do the job) which did brighten the dials up a bit but did not seem to make any permanent improvement.Has anyone else got any experience or similar tips ?As always feedback greatly appreciated.Paul
