Seiko Ananta SRQ011 & SPB021 - New Arrivals
Shortly before the Grand Seiko Roadshow, AZ Fine Time received our 1st allotment of the all new 44mm Seiko Ananta's. I have to say that personally, I love the look of both these pieces. I like the smaller (44mm) size a little bit better, but even if these were the 46mm as the original, I would still greatly enjoy them. The design from the original Ananta release has definitely deviated, the sides broad "Katana" blade look in the original has been taken down to a smaller (but still blade shaped) thin strip between the side and front of the case. It makes the beautiful "blade" polishing visible from all angles. The new design includes crown protectors (much reminiscent of the Brightz Phoenix or select Grand Seiko's). This series is great for the guys who loved the concept of the Ananta, but weren't too into the 46mm.An improvement you may notice in the pics (definitely in person) is the clarity of the crystal. The sapphire appears to be closer to the quality of what they use in Gr

What will replace carbon and ceramic divers?
Well the title says it all, what do you think will replace these 3 models since it's clear now that they are discontinued? Don't know how a RG would be, the Wempe one was great, maybe a titanium model, the ultra light weight would be very cool, I don't think they will leave it as is with just 2 SS models considering the history of this model and the different materials you could get it in¡­What do you think? Have any ideas on future material possibilities?How happy I am to be one of the few owners to have one, ok I had more exclusive pieces, a Pam 82 shadow case for example, but didn't love it as much as this one¡­.

Buying under the influence...
I was first on the list at my AD for the new Sea Dweller. I passed on the chance to buy it when I learned it was 43mm. I told them to call me the next time they received one. I got the call earlier today. I passed again. By the way, I can buy the watch new from the AD with a slight discount and no tax.I already own a dozen or more Rolex watches and a bundle of others. Why should I buy a watch that I find way too large and heavy...? Just because I can and not everyone can...? Or maybe I ought buy it because it is supposed to be so ¡°sought after¡±...? Is the all important deal maker the small print in red...? Or maybe because it¡¯ll be cool to post a picture here and get positive reinforcement...? After all, how many watches can a man wear...? As a matter of fact, what I like about Rolex watches over just about all others is that a Rolex is dependable and durable like no other. So one watch is enough and will last you just about forever. Isn¡¯t there something slightly pathol
