Review of the Citizen Attesa ATD53-3081ImageUploadedByTapatalk1329723080.999531.jpgThe ATD53-3081 is a Japanese market only model, part of their Attesa range. It is a radio controlled (or alternatively called Atomic Time) watch that synchronizes with atomic clock radio transmitters in Japan (2), Europe (England and Germany), China and North America (Fort Collins, CO). Range for these transmitters varies, but for most people in North America, Europe, Japan and eastern China synchronization is feasible. Peripheral regions may be able to sync, but for the southern hemisphere this is not really an option. Citizen has released a model that synchronizes via satellite, the limited edition, and quite costly, Eco-Drive Satellite Wave. Once this technology matures, synchronization may be possible in most of the world, and the technology will possibly trickle down into their mainstream products.The ATD53-3081 is one of ten models in the Attesa range that use the H610 calibre, and models range in

Seiko SKX009 strap changes
I generally wear my Pepsi with a mesh .I tried it with the regular Jubilee which I hated because of the hollow end links and I also found that it is a hair puller, then I tried it wth a Z22 rubber strap and just could not get used to it. I found strap changes on this watch to be very frustrating especially with the Z22, so much so that I nearly ended up just cutting it off and binning it. Any suggestions for strap changes, I have two types of fork ended tools but is there a special technique or tool for this particular watch or has anyone drilled the lugs right through?

LOVE my new Speedmaster Pro Tintin!
I am usually not the kind of person to post an incoming (still have to properly introduce my BLNR in the Rolex section) but I am so happy with my new acquisition that I would like to give it due credits!Long story short, I started in the (serious) watch world in 1998 when I rewarded myself with a Seamaster Pro 300m diver (aka the Bond watch or 2531.80 for you geeks!). Wore that one for 16 years straight when I stumbled The Rolex Forum as I was increasing my knowledge for my new passion of really serious watches. Had long been eyeing the Speedy Pro but the Rolex GMT Master-2 was starting to catch my eye and I had a new admiration for Rolex as a brand (used to dislike them quite a lot as the cheesy glitzy old DD and other TT DJ were never my cup of tea... I will admit). Eventually, I got a 3570.50 and as much as I loved it at first sight, it proved to not be a daily wearer for me as it was lacking the date and I felt that the hesalite was a bit too prone to swirls. Decided to sell it to

Evolution of the Ceramic GMT: A Lesson in Denying the Customer
I want to love the new Pepsi GMT. But I just don't. The colors aren't right and the jubilee bracelet isn't working for me (I know SOME like it). It seems Rolex likes to make watches that leave us wanting for something slightly different, something more. That way, we'll buy now, but then we'll still buy something else in the future to scratch an itch. Brilliant.In 2007, when the ceramic GMT came out in stainless steel with a black bezel, WISs started calling for a Coke or Pepsi in stainless steel. So, in 2013, Rolex obliged---by giving us a two-color bezel. Just not a Pepsi or Coke. Don't get me wrong. The BLNR is a looker, its a seller. But it left many still wanting a Pepsi or Coke.Then in 2014, Rolex gave us a Pepsi. But it was in white gold and the bezel colors received a lukewarm reception. However, some of us ponied up the big bucks for a precious metal watch when all we really wanted was a stainless steel Pepsi or Coke.Now, in 2018, some will buy the new stainless steel Pepsi on
