Seiko Astron: World's First Quartz Watch Turns 40
When I was recently in Japan, the Seiko folk made sure we knew all about the Seiko Quartz Astron (ref. 35SQ) watch. For whatever reason, the knowledge that Seiko was the inventor of the world's first quartz movement powered watch has eluded me (until then that is). Coincidentally, this December 2009 is the 40th anniversary of the Seiko Astron quartz watch. I got to check out one of the original Seiko Astron watches. Two of the images here are mine that I took of a Seiko Astron watch back in Japan. The watch itself is a testament to Seiko having help up so well after 40 years.

New Arrival!!
Hi all,It has been a while since I added a new AP to my collection. I just received this piece a few hours ago and I was a little anxious since I have not seen this piece in person.

What is exact Model of this Rolex

What to do with $10,500
This sum of cash, whilst not insignificant, cuts out all the PM pieces. Include old or new, fat and slim. At the moment I am umming and ahhhhing (a lot of ahhhiiin) between 16710 pepsi or coke ($10,500 in good nick), GMT2 LN, GMT BLNR, Hulk and the IWC Pilot Mark XVIII. Let me know. For wearing and owning forever, not for reselling later. You'll only make money on watches through luck, or by being Paul Newman.PS I already own a Submariner 16610.
