Seiko Astron GPS Solar Chronograph Limited Edition Watches
When it comes to quartz-driven watches that maintain accuracy via some sort of outside reference input, you have traditionally been limited to watches that receive atomic timekeeping signals from observatories around the world. That changed in 2012, with Seiko hooking their watches up to GPS satellites. Two years down the road, we now have a new limited edition Seiko Astron GPS Solar Chronograph?in a "his and her's" design configuration.Debuted at Baselworld 2014, Seiko released a new movement for the Astron. Many times, when we talk about a new movement, we focus on the mechanical side of the house, as those (traditionally) hold the most interest �C but that is not to say that quartz movements cannot offer interesting developments. The Astron was an extremely important and highly impressive step forward, and now,?Seiko actually managed to downsize it with their new 8X82 caliber, all the while increasing ease of use (in particular, time zone switching). The size reduction is due mostly

New York Boutique Prototype 44mm Offshore Gold
Hi everyone, I am new on this forum, my name is Burak, living in New York. I currently have the blue dial royal oak 41mm, yesterday i went to the boutique and checked the so called''summer edition prototype'' ?? Think about it like the white ceramic offshore with the white strap but all gold. Never found pictures online, never seen one. I asked the lady(manuela) if i can take pictures but the answer was no. Then she told me that this watch is a prototype and will be out in June and they are taking deposits. I really like the watch, seriously thinking about putting a deposit but would love to hear from you guys since you know the wrist game a lot more than i do. Thank you in advanceBurak

What??
Very unhappy, my diver never had the slightest shock, never, and just now I see that a small chip of ceramic between the bezel and the crown guard, basically the most protected part of the case, has gone off, in itself it is like a normal cut in a metal watch, it is almost not visible, because of where it is situated, but this is very disappointing since this is AP ceramic which is supposed to be 7 times harder than steel and it was never ever hit even moderately on something, and that part is so protected you have to take a very pointy chisel to make it, which I did not do, I suppose it is a construction failure, just hope there won't be any other... Not sure you can see it, it is basically in between the crown and screw of the strap, again it is the part of the case between the bezel and crown guard... No you see it, the small white mark just under the rubber image.jpg

Showa Dating on Warranty Card?
I'm considering bidding on a Speedy Pro on eBay. The watch was originally purchased in Japan and the description states that the warranty card is dated Showa 22 (2010) 4/03. Is anyone familiar with this type of date?The serial number is 77176xxx, which is typically associated with a watch closer to 2007, not 2010. Any insight is appreciated.
