Seiko Coutura Watch On TV: Watch Advertising Hits The Mainstream
For a long time in the US, watch Advertising was limited to spots in the Wall Street Journal and financial or business magazines (not to mention the limited number of watch magazines such as WatchTime, Revolution, International Watch, and others). Rolex was the king of the advertising heap, but you weren't about to a Rolex advertisement on television.

Loving the new Avenger II GMT, perfect size and profile for daily wear, but I wanted a little more pop. Had my jeweler buddy do his magic and here's the results!! IMO the black dial and diamonds just make it POP!! Tx for looking!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ceramic Bezel PO is a reality..
blog.perpetuelle/index.ph...ocean-is-here/This is a limited edition (1948 pieces [First year of the Seamaster]) Planet Ocean with standard 2500c movement. The differences are a new ceramic bezel with hardened glass metal over it. It also features a glossy dial, applied arabics, applied OMEGA wording, and red applied Seamaster script.It looks AWESOME! Obviously!

What is the longest period between winding your watch ?
I wear my Airking every day, except for Saturday when it's off half the dayWill it work for the next 5 years until it's first service or is it better I wind it occasionally ?I read somewhere that automatics are more accurate if fully wound manually every so often my. Is this true ?Has anyone only ever wound their watch once when they bought it :)
