Photo Report: Recapping The HODINKEE Celebration Of Seiko's New NYC Boutique
A few weeks back, we took you inside the new Madison Avenue Seiko boutique to show just how special its offerings would be. The response has been incredible, and last night, we invited some of our dedicated, Seiko-loving friends to join us in a private HODINKEE celebration of this new mecca of horology in mid-town NYC. 2 OF 46 The packed house was complete with young collectors and old, seasoned and newbies. The range of interests spanned as wide as what Seiko had to offer, with not only countless Seiko 5 and divers on hand, but several hi-beat time-only pieces and many GMT's. 3 OF 46 One of the highlights was certainly the limited edition green dial hi-beat GMT that we featured on HODINKEE here. The crowd was unanimous in its praise for the piece, and some called it the most beautiful GMT they'd ever seen with this particular green dial. 4 OF 46 On hand to demonstrate just what makes Seiko so special was a master craftsman who came in

Help with next purchase, RO ROC ROO
I need your advice for my next purchase So my watches for now are the 116610LV and the AP Diver, and planning on getting an AP nextMy options are the RO 15400 blue dial, or ROC blue dial, or I might be able to get the Milano boutique edition but I will miss the bracelet on that one. If I get one of these I might be able to get the Rolex GMTII BLNR as well. Or maybe the 44mm ceramic with the anthracite dial but I won't be able to get the BLNR if I do this, I may also have to sell my subI really love the ROC but the movement not being in house and not an exhibition case back is bothering me a bit, and the 15400 is gorgeous but it looks a bit small on my wrist as it is slightly thinner than the ROC and lacks the extra pushers, the 44mm is amazing in every way but giving my current collection and what I would have to let go to get it, this is a hard choice!What would you do if you were me? And so sorry for the long read

Constellation question
A friend came across the watch below last evening, used to belong to his late father-in-law. He's done some looking on the 'net but hasn't come up with a similar one without the Officially Certified under Chronometer on the dial.. Can anybody flesh out any info on this? Thanks.

Are all F series 16610lv's Flat Four's?
I am getting more familiar with the differences between the serial numbers on the 16610lv kermit and understand that the Y and F series have the Mk 1 dials with the oval O and 5 ticks as well as the Flat four bezels. My question is did all of the F series watches have the oval O and flat four or were these only the earlier ones and the later ones had the regular O and the pointed 4.
