Seiko Izul, The Coolest Watch You've Never Heard Of (And Can't Get)
I write this as I am here in Japan spending time with Seiko (though I will post it after my return to the States). So much to talk about, I don't even know where to begin. Well this article is about the Seiko Izul. A watch that I learned about today that I should have heard about a long time ago. This is a damn cool watch. So I was at Seiko's headquarters today and one of the people we met was the nice gentleman who designed the dial of the Seiko Spring Drive Spacewalk, a watch many of you are deeply desiring. The good news is that the Spacewalk will be released as a 100 piece limited edition set. The bad news is that it will be $28,000. I digress.

Wanting to join the club

ETA/Valjoux 7750 Help - Running Out of Power
I have an Omega Seamaster Professional that was recently serviced.Prior to the service, I could wear the watch and never have to worry about it running out of power. I did this for almost twenty years (with modest service on the watch in that time).After the most recent service, I can't seem to get anything more than the power reserve from winding the watch--consistenly about 55 hours after 2.5 days, measured multiple times over a couple weeks.I have a Rolex watch that I can wear FAR less and not EVER have any issues with it running out of power.I know the mechanisms are different (7750 winds in one direction, Rolex in both directions), but I'm struggling with this being normal after a full service--especially since I never had any issues with automatc winding prior to the service. Plus, the 7750 has such a storied history of performance, I would imagine there'd be posts everywhere if the watch had to be manually wound every day-and-a half....Is this at all normal that the watch runs
