Hamilton Seaview Automatic Diver Watch
What is different about this Hamilton Seaview Automatic Diver watch? I thought about this question for a little while before writing anything down. I know I have seen the nautical almost art deco themed font used for the numbering before. The font is sort of an amalgamation of everything ocean-worthy and futuristic from 1920 -1970. Gently shaded, the large applied number totally make the watch. Without them it would be just another passable for forgettable Hamilton watch. The watch is pretty big too at 46mm wide, and the relatively small numbers on the rotating diver's bezel don't help the large wrist footprint. But that is OK, you want a nice looking watch like this to standout.While it is has been hit and miss with me in regard to new Hamilton watches as of late, the volume sales leader for Swatch Group continues to push out a few good designs each year.?

the same L686 movement used in its sister model in the Longines Admiral line
The impressive case (diameter 44 mm) is fitted with the same L686 movement used in its sister model in the Longines Admiral line. The case features a double tachymeter on the bezel. Graduated in kph as well as MPH, it can be used for measuring ground-speeds of up to Mach 2. The dial in a choice of black, dark brown or white with a silver sun pattern and featuring a large 12 brings a sporty touch as well as elegance to the model. This sporty aspect is emphasised by the non-slip surface of the crown, the caseband and the push-pieces. The latest addition to the GrandeVitesse line is available on a steel bracelet with a triple folding safety clasp or a black or dark brown leather strap lined with alcantara and fitted with a folding clasp.

In one of those stunning stories only made possible by the Internet, in 2012 a man turned to Google to search for "Vacheron & Constantin" and "egg" to find that the jewel-encrusted gold egg housing a Vacheron watch he purchased for $13,302 in the early 2000s at a Midwestern flea market was in fact an 1887 birthday gift for Tsar Alexander III from?Peter Carl Faberg��. It has now sold privately for millions,?likely?making it the most expensive timepiece on earth.The unnamed individual stumbled on a 2011 Telegraph article entitled "Is this ��20 million nest-egg on your mantelpiece?" The egg was the third of 54 Faberg��?eggs owned by the Russian royal family and had been lost since 1922. It is recorded that in 1922 this egg was transferred from the Kremlin Armoury, which had confiscated the eggs in 1917 when the Tsar was overthrown, to the special plenipotentiary of the Council of People's Commissars, Ivan Gavrilovich Chinariov. Beyond the written records, a 1902 photograph of the egg on exhi

AP collector in Dubai?
I would want to know if someone with a serious AP collection in Dubai would like to meet up. I will be travelling to that part of the world for holidays soon and would like to meet up with someone who is an avid collector with an avant garde AP line up. It always good to see various models in the flesh for future acquisitions.Thank youRegards Urooj

does anyone know the number on this one?
Just curious, as it looks stunning...Would it be a little older due to what appears to be the rubberized pushers, and that they are not ceramic, or ceramic flat pushers?See thru caseback?
