Seiko Astron GPS Solar Chronograph Limited Editions
In 2012, Seiko launched the Astron �C the world's first watch able to receive GPS signals and, using an onboard database, convert those signals into precisely accurate time anywhere on Earth. Powered by the Sun, the Astron is always on time, even on top of a mountain or in the middle of the ocean. Here are the two newest models, including the first-ever for women. The Astron uses the incredibly precise signals from GPS satellites to stay right on time, and when you travel, it can adjust to the time in the new location using those signals. The original Astron was a bit bulky for some wrists, but in September this year, Seiko launched its new Caliber 8X82, which allowed for a 30% reduction in the size of the watch. The upgraded movement also allows Seiko to offer a wider range of dial colors for this solar-powered watch. Finally, the movement offers a more intuitive manual time zone selection.The first Astron for women features 10 diamonds on the dial.Seiko is launching two new model

who else, other than Clearwater, can service your AP?
If the only thing you need is service on the movement, no polishing or parts to be replaced, where would be the best place to send? I'm sure an experienced watchmaker would be capable of handling the service on an AP. No?

Got this odd Speedy from Japan - 3513.33
When I saw this watch I searched for a few months for the best specimen I could find. Hilariously, the whole time I was looking I thought the dial was white but in person it is definitely silver. I'm apparently blind.

My first Panerai - An Object of Italian Design
Hello Forum members! Over these past 3 or 4 weeks my son's, who both have Panerai 111 timepieces, have given me the bug to buy my first Panerai! I frequently travel to Firenze on business and unfortunately it never occurred to me that I could have visited the original site of where Panerai started. During a recent trip to France, a co-worker had on a GMT that he bought years ago before they became popular when he was working at my company's manufacturing site in Firenze. That event, coupled with my son's influence, I ended up buying the model 512 you see pictured in this post, along with my other Italian prized toy.
