Seiko Prospex Spring Drive Tuna SBDB008 Watch
Seiko SBDB008The Prospex line of professional divers from Seiko has long been a rich source of fine watches and superb engineering, sadly less known than they deserve due to Japan-only sales. This one is worth questing for though, it's the new-for-2013 SBDB008, in the Prospex Marinemaster collection. Spring Drive (cal 5R65), DLC titanium shroud, titanium nitride (the gold colored bits) highlights, date window tucked in at 4:30, and a new handset. From the sheen, it looks like the bezel insert is ceramic, which would be a nice touch. I like this one, though it's tall at 16.2mm thick. Width not known, but we know that those are 22mm lugs so probably 44mm plus. 72 hour power reserve, and that movement is rated at +-15s/month.It's on page 41 of the Japanese-language Seiko 2013 catalog (PDF). From that, list price is 399,000JPY, or about $3,900USD as of today. Limited edition of only 300 pieces, on the bright side AZ Fine Time has announced they'll be getting these for US sale.A hat tip to

There seems to be a Trend...
...Of everybody getting a 15300! I finally received mine today! What can I say, I'm blown away. Having only owned Rolex and lower watches, I can really tell this is a step up. The white dial does have quite a formal feel to it, but I believe it will still go perfectly with blue jeans and a shirt, as well as a suit. The fit and finish is amazing, as is the way the whole piece reflects the light. The bracelet is like nothing I have ever had before, but so far is very comfortable (although I need to remove a link). I think the 39mm size fits perfect for my sub 7 wrist. The dial seems very white in some light, and turns to a slight silver in others. I think I am going to be quite distracted for a while looking at it!My apologies for the bad pictures, the Iphone is all I have at my desk at the moment.

Is this an original?
Hello members,My first post. First of all, thank you to the mods and members of this site to help bring together a great community of WISs.I have just purchased a pre-owned Omega Planet Ocean 42mm 2500 calibre movement. I know it's a little too late ask this now, but wanted your opinion on its authenticity. I have no reason to believe that the watch is not authentic, but it's my first (and hopefully many more to come) big watch purchase and it'd be nice to have your confirmation. What do you guys think? Should I get it checked by an AD for authenticity? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

PP 5004P or 5204P
So I've been thinking a lot about which one of these to get with in next year. Love 5970P and 5270G blue dial, but wanting something more complicated and more unique. Any thoughts?Also was just approved for 5131R and can't wait till I get one.Watches: 5711/1a blue, 5712/1a, Rolex D blue, GMT BLNR, Sub Hulk, Daytona Ceramic black dial, Tudor Ranger

Thinking of selling my 5711/1A?
Hi everyone. Debating to hold or sell my Patek 5711/1A blue for either 5712/1A or 5726/1A white dial. Is hard to justified for price differences? I do have a Patek 5065/1A. So similar? What to do??? What would you do? Thanks for any advice? Regards, Mike
