Seiko Ananta Automatic Watches
It has been a few months since I was in Japan visiting with Seiko. Shortly thereafter I wrote about the Spring Drive versions of their newish and impressive Seiko Ananta line of watches. If you recall, Ananta is Seiko's first line of high-end watches for the world market. The watches totally changed my perception of the brand, and I think if you check them out they will change the way you look at Seiko as well. The Spring Drive watches aren't cheap. While they are a great value for the money, the Seiko Ananta Spring Drive Chronograph watch can still get up to the $6,000 - $7,000 range. This is a larger amount of money than many people are able to spend on a watch - an important point as Seiko is such a globally "worn" brand. In addition to the Spring Drive movement based watches, the Ananta line comes in three different automatic mechanical movement forms.

SMP 300m Diver
Hi,Does anyone know if Omega will upgrade the 300m diver to a Master Co-Axial movement?I am trying hard to get a newer 2200.80 with the 2500d mov't as I like the wave dial pattern. Any chance of the wave coming back with a ceramic bezel and Master Co-Axial?Or am I asking too much?

Dilemma: Would you trade a 118206 Glacier Roman for a PP 5059?
I have been considering trading my Rolex 118206 for a 5959R or J. I have wanted a PP perpetual calendar and can't get one without shedding something from my collection. I think the 118206 is a very pretty watch but am not sure how 'special' it is compared to a PP PC. By trading the rolex it gets me more than halfway home to the PC. I don't wear the Rolex as much as it gets supplanted by various Nautiluses or AP's. since this is the Rolex forum I figured it was a good place for opinion gathering. Thx much
