Citizen Eco-Drive Nova Concept Watch
Today's Citizen watches are products that most people associate with light. This is thanks to the Japanese brand's extremely successful Eco-Drive family of movements. Most Citizen watches you are likely to own these days contain one of these useful movements. The hallmark characteristic of an Eco-Drive movement is that they are solar powered. In reality, most any light will do. Eco-Drives are quartz movements that run on batteries, but batteries the owner does not need to replace. Inside each Eco-Drive movement is a rechargeable battery that Citizen says can be good for up to 30 years or longer in many instances. Light enters through the watch dial to recharge the low energy consumption movements.Contained in an array of basic watches, the Eco-Drive technology is also used for more sophisticated or experimental Citizen watches. One such Citizen concept watch for 2012 doesn't just rely on light for power, but also emits it.The visual splendor of the 2012 Citizen Eco-Drive Nova is pretty

New incoming!!!
There was a thread a few weeks ago on collecting strategy and on what the actual iconic watches were. This made me think. Some of the watches I own came up quite often, i.e. the JLC Reverso, the AP Royal Oak and the Rolex Submariner. Others I own aren't that iconic, so I figured the next watch I would get would be another iconic piece. The budget for a random watch purchase wasn't a PP Nautilus unfortunately, so I was looking for something iconic that fit the random watch purchase budget. So here we go, an Omega Speedmaster Professional. Pretty much one of the most iconic watches out there. I've only had it for a day, but I'm liking it very much so far. The hesalite is really cool and I have ordered a NATO and Zulu strap which are, I think, the coolest on the Speedmaster Pro. Just a quick iPhone pic (I'll add more later):

Got my new Speedy last week.
I've been looking for a nice chronograph watch and after trying on an IWC Spitfire chrono and not being floored by it I decided to locate a Speedmaster Co-axial chronograph, the new one with the 44.25mm case and 3313 movement. Thanks to Father John he got me in touch with the person I need to talk to about locating one of these new speedys. It arrived last Tuesday and I was able to capture some camcorder snapshots of it. I'm planning on giving it a month or so before doing a formal review of it but so far I'm very happy with it and will likely keep it. Here is a picture that if I've done this right should link you to my picasa page for more pictures.picasaweb.google/lh/photo...eat=directlinkOne last question I have is I'm thinking of getting a strap for this watch and I stopped by my local Omega AD last Friday and the strap they showed me was $320 and was croc but looked like plastic. Does anyone have a good resource for after market straps for Omega Speedmasters that have buckles not
