Seiko Premier Direct Dive Moon Phase Article On AskMen.com
Seiko has an incredibly diverse line of watches. Sometimes so diverse that unless you are very familiar with their models it is hard to know not only what new watches are coming out, but how they are measure up in terms of quality. Seiko even has movements from your ultra basic quartz, to complex mechanical movement - and literally everything in between. This can cause confusion and a sense of being horologically overwhelmed, at least for us Americans. It seems as though the Japanese are more comfortable with the many Seiko watches. I say all this to impress upon you that not all Seiko watches are created equally. For example, this Seiko Premier Direct Drive Moon Phase watch is about $1,500. So where does it fit in their overall line?Well this watch fits sort of in the middle of the line. Seiko watches in the US seem to average about $200, but many are available for several hundred dollars and into the thousands (for the Spring Drive movement models) After $500 the watches really get i

The one that got away...
Is there a watch in your life that you had been looking for all over, and then finally found it, only to double guess yourself and let it slip thru your fingers... and then regret it for not pulling the trigger when you could?Browsing thru some older pictures on my phone, I found this one, taken in December 2012 at the AP Boutique in Madrid. I had been thinking of a 15300 for a long time, and decided to finally go to a Boutique to try it out in the flesh. Originally I wanted to compare the white vs the black dial. And then I found this one...IMG_0141.jpgI fell in love with it. I thought I would buy it there and then. But I needed to go back to the hotel to get my passport to do the tax free thing.Long story short, I got to the hotel, and I thought, it is late, perhaps I will go back tomorrow to get it, and I will think it over better.Well, long story short, the next two days were crazy busy at the office, leaving at 9 PM both days (that's how Spanish business hours work somet

Have I learnt anything? Opinions please
Morning folks,Having had a lucky escape, thanks to the forum and its members, I'm looking for a PO, I don't want to buy new as I want it for my daily wearer for work, I'm sure some will understand that if I buy new ill be worrying about knocking it about too much whereas a used one already with a few marks in my mind stops me worrying about that. I have a GMT that My wife bought me (new)a few years ago that I wear most of the time, scratches I don't mind but wearing at work I prefer not, anyway, to the point........having spent a few hours doing comparisons with my photos of the fake and genuine have I learnt anything.....I hope so....this pics is taken from the net and I would say is genuine....am I right????After 30 years in the waiting.......GMT IIc

Warranty question
When you buy a watch from an authorized dealer out-of-state, for warranty service do you have to go through the dealer or do you go directly to OMEGA?

Well today I went for a little drive and decided to go into this local mall. They have an Omega AD there and to say the least they provided the royal treatment and was impressed. Spent quite some time in there getting catalogues from Tag Heuer (the new hard cover one), Baume & Mercier, and the 2008 Omega book. The salesman insisted I take them to have a look and see if anything catches my eye so what the hey. They now have the new SeaMaster as some of you may already know. The watch is the exact same but the dial and bezel insert are black like the 16610 Submariner. Take a look and sorry if some of those pictures came out a bit blurry.
