Review: Seiko 5 SNZH53 Diver in Blue
I mentioned it in my article about the Timex Andros, I hinted at my love of it in my initial impressions, Blake put it alongside a Rolex Submariner and now I want to get down to it; the Seiko 5 SNZH is sort of a perfect watch. It is well made, it is nicely detailed, it has an automatic movement, it looks fantastic, it is versatile, it is unique and it is very affordable.The review is over; go buy one�� But seriously, save a couple of overlookable faults, the SNZH53 is exactly what I wanted it to be.Case: Polished and Brushed Stainless SteelMovement: Seiko 7s36B 23-Jewel Auto with Day/DateDial: Metallic Blue with Steel inlaysBezel: 120 Click Unidirectional with Blue Acrylic InsertLens: Domed HardlexCase Back: Screwdown Display BackStrap: Steel BraceletWater Res.: 10atm (100m/330ft)Dimensions: 42m, 45mm to crownCrown: Pull-outThickness: 14mmLug Width: 22mmWarranty: NAI bought the Seiko 5 SNZH53?because I had been pining over various heritage divers I could not afford or track down, like t

Longing for (another) Speedmaster Pro
So, long story short, last year I finally added a 3570.50 to 16 year old SMP 300 diver. I really loved it... But not for a daily wear due to the lack of date and, to some extent, due to the relative fragility of the hesalite that marks quite easily. Also, I was not smitten with the daily manual winding. In a course of two months, the watch stopped at least a twice, whenever that had never happened to me over the previous 16 year. I thus decided to get a Rolex BLNR as it suits my daily lifestyle that includes overseas trips and also has historical relevance in aeronautics AND decided to sell the Speedy to my brother to enable him such a fine time piece.I love my BLNR... But I am starting to develop a (serious) itch to add back a Speedy pro in my collection. I am note sure if I should get another 3570.50 (or whatever the new reference number is with the large display case) or if I should aim for a serious vintage piece (ie, one with a cal. 321). May be even one that is a worthy limited e

Best Option For 45mm PO trade to 42mm PO
I have a 45mm 2500 PO that I have recently decided is slightly too large for my wrist. I believe that the 42 would be a better fit. Does anyone have any advice about the best way to go about sourcing a 42mm? Should I look for a straight up trade with a trusted seller on TRF? Or sell mine first and look to purchase a 42mm with the proceeds? My AD does not deal in used watches so that is isn't an option, unfortunately. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Sending this one off to service today :(
Well this smp is keeping pretty bad time and the power reserve is only about 30 hours right now so it is off for service..
