Citizen Eco-Drive World Perpetual AT Watches
Citizen's featured mainstream new watch collection for 2010 is this Eco-Drive World Time Perpetual AT line of timepieces. Based on a newly developed movement, the collection comes in a large range of styles, in various price brackets. From sporty to sleek, there is a World Perpetual AT watch for everyone. They are based on the new H144 Eco-Drive quartz movement that has a lot more features that it might suggest at first glance.For me, this watch is about offering the functionality and feature set excepted in Citizen and other similar Japanese watches, but in a very classic, simple looking design. A major philosophy in Japanese tech watches like this is the "set it and forget it principle." Which is actually a bit different than the European ideal of constantly attending to your watch. Actually, I think the same philosophy exists in the respective cars made by the Japanese and the Europeans.

Florijn 2 Review
The best way to discover a new brand is when you least expect it… So, we were in Basel and had plans to grab a beer with Stefan from Stuckx (nice guy, cool brand and gnarly watches, more on them to come), and he asked if it was cool for his friend Hans from Florijn Horloges to join us. We said of course, and Hans brought along a few of his watches to show. Well, we all really liked them… They were tough-as-nails modern divers with cool bulky cases, bold bezels, aggressive dials, Seiko NH35A movements, sapphire crystals, 300M water resistance and… really affordable prices.

For review, we went with the Florijn 2, which features a steel case and a DLC bezel for about $366 (326.45 euros). There are also the model 1 and 3, which are all steel and all DLC, respectively. Each model is limited to only 100 pieces. So, let's get right to it

AP ROO Diver lume shots??
Do any Diver owners have lume shots? I don't think I've ever come across any on the forums. Just wondering how the lume is on the AP. If you have any, please post them up! Thanks.

GMT Watch Stop Woes
My Seamaster GMT Co-Axial (cal:2628) doesn't appear to auto wind. It winds OK by hand and keeps accurate time but will not maintain power on the watchwinder or by wearing. Just stops when power reserve is low(after stopping and starting for a while). It's around 3 years old. Looks like it will need to go to the service centre. I was wondering though if it only requires a normal service or if there is something more wrong. Appreciate any comments.

Question for knowledgable members....
Looking to buy a friends 5711/1A - it's got box, papers, but is missing 2 links. Seldom worn and purchased in Dec 2008 - what's a fair price as it will likely require a service?Thanks!
