Casio Protrek PRG 130 VR
My local Seiko AD asked me for my impression on this model, naturally I said yes because this allows me to check out these tool watch which easily goes unnoticed. This is the Asian version. The Casio Pathfinder PAW1500 series sold in the US is similar but packs the 5 Multiband RC feature.Titanium version, the Bezel is rotates bidirectional, 200M WRResin Rubber Strap VersionSolar Powered with Battery Indicator and Power Save Mode, titanium braceletLarge Buttons, Glove friendlyThe SensorThe Adjustment Button and Light ButtonPRG-130 Specifications:- 200M WR- EL Auto Light On- Rotating Direction Bezel- Perpetual Calendar- Accuracy +/-20sec per month- Compass (0¡ã- 359¡ã) 20 seconds continuous measurement- Barometer: 260hPa - 1,100hPa (7.65 to 32.45 inHg)- Altimeter: -700m ¨C 10,000m (-2,300 to 32,800 ft.)- Thermometer: -10¡ãC to 60¡ãC (14oF to 140oF)- World time: 33 cities (29 time zones)- Moon data: Lunar date/phase of the moon display- Tide graph: Tidal in and out: six step display, tidal ran

Interesting new company/concept/contest
Just wandered over from a couple of the other forums. Have you guys heard of this new venture/company? If anything, it's a very unique concept. I'd bet someone from this forum could win one of those watches!Red8 review: ablogtoread/red8/red8-watch-review/Red8: red8world/BTW: Absolutely no affiliation with either site; just thought it was a kind of an interesting business idea.

Finally!!...Delivered! Pics coming soon
After reading nothing but good stuff about the watch, I finally made up my mind and ordered an Orange Monster for myself Got a good deal on it and am getting it shipped by FedEx or UPS for quick shipping. The owner of the site said that he'll mark it as a gift, so that it doesn't get delayed at customs :)Now, comes the waiting period! I'll need to keep my mind pre-occupied with something till then.Will definitely take some pictures this time, while unwrapping the box (which is just so difficult to do, since I get my stuff shipped at my office and will have to wait to get home before I can take the pics)Thanks to everyone (especially Dennis) for brainwashing me to buy the OM Best Regards-Dhruv

8500 Aqua Terra Reviews
Given the reasonable price point of the 8500 Aqua Terra I keep coming back to consider it. The highly reflective hour indicators catch my eye, which may be a result of the 100 overhead lights at the AD. Since this will be my first mechanical I enjoy having the exhibition caseback. From what I can tell the 8500 is a movement I can be proud to show off. I'd like to buy the watch on a bracelet and then switch it to a deployment leather band to start out. My AD says that is a better approach economically. 23113422106001-20.JPGcaseback.jpgI'd love to hear other owners thoughts on this time piece. I'm targeting the dark grey face with SS case. thanks in advance

Prefer 5065 to 5167
Am thinking about another Patek to join my 5711, and it seems the Aquanaut would be a good choice (also thinking about a Annual Calendar Moonphase 5396G-011).Anyone here has a 5065 instead of the 5167 and willing to show some wrist shots? I prefer the dial much more.Also, is there anything about the 5065 you dislike?
