Help on choosing a Constellation
Hi, I'm interested in getting a new Omega Constellation ladies watch. I like the look and size of an old model, 1592.30. But it seems like only a couple of online stores offer it. I've also checked out the new models (such as 123.10.27.60.02.001) but didn't find anything that has a date display. A few questions:1. It seems like the ones with date display is automatic and the ones without date display is quartz. Is that how Omega makes them? 2. The online stores that have the old model is not an authorized Omega retailer, would that matter in case I need to service the watch in the future?3. Is it better to get the newer model? Any resale value consideration on this? The newer model seems thicker which I didn't like.Any other suggestions are welcome. Thank you for the help!

Saturday 1/27/12 What do you wear on the weekend?
I'm wearing the Coleman today. I could use a little guidance on this one. Here it is with the new hands but they don't match the green dots. My question is whether these hands are the correct style and color for this model. Are the dots the correct color or have they aged to this color? Should I have the dots relumed to match the hands or the old hands redone to match the dots? Or just leave it as is. In person, the dots do not stand out prominently like they do in the photo. Edit - Although after comparing mine to Tom's Coleman, it looks like my green lume is sort of piled on top of the dots while Tom's looks more like the lume is recessed into the dot surrounded by a gold ring. Maybe I'll just try to scrape the green off and see what's underneath.Re-edit - I opened it up and scraped off the green lume. The good news is that below all that green was a lighter color lume just like Tom's that matches the hands fairly well. On some dots, the green popped off fairly easily. On

SEIKO SPRING DRIVE - once in a lifetime
As some of you may know, Seiko had discontinued the original Seiko Spring Drive releases which consisted of 10 core models and 4 limited edition pieces. As you may notice in Ananta and Grand Seiko, there are more than just Spring Drive movements within the brands (quartz and autos). When they introduced Spring Drive, it was basically referring to a brand and not just the movement. They are now phasing out the original releases because of this and we pretty much bought everything Seiko had.These models are going to be gone very soon and going to be highly collectible. I can tell you that this is going to be the GREATEST opportunity to own a Seiko Spring Drive. You will NEVER see another Spring Drive near these prices. Here's whats still around. If you would like to learn more, please call me. 800-486-3996

Some traditionals never die. This is from the US Customs service website:Customs employees receive a retirement plaque and a wristwatch* when they retire. ______* I don't know the brand.One magazine company I worked for gave Movado watches after 20 years of service.

More on the new Marina Militare arrivals. Wrist shots in post 23
I submitted a thread yesterday about the white dial automatic Marina Militare I had aquired . Nice watches, and better leather straps than I am used to for this type of watch.These are the three watches I received.The web site doesn't say much about the movements, so I sent an email asking if they would tell me more about the movements in the watches. I was curious.The white dial automatic, model MD-033 on the site, is built around the Mingzhu model 3809 movement. Mingzhu is somehow associated with the Guangzhou Watch Company. I learned on the web that the Mingzhu 38XX series movements are basically a clone of the Miyota series 8200 movements. It also has decent lume.I also bought the GMT II automatic, model MD-041. This watch is also built around a Mingzhu movement. This time movement model 3804. The GMT hand is independant for setting to a different time zone.And a lume shot.The last watch is model MD-061, a Regatta model Power Reserve Automatic. This one is built around Sea-
