Seiko Kinetic-Does it charge while crown is pulled out all the way and worn?
Does a 4 year old Seiko Kenetic still charge while wearing the watch, but with the crown pulled all the way out? Also, I heard somewhere that you can lay a Seiko Kenetic in top if a toothbrush charger, and that will rapidly charge it...is this true?

Matching up my SMPc and Casio divers
Just purchased a Casio and was excited it shared so many similarities to my SMPc (red second hand, round/rectangular hour markers, brushed and polished case, rubber strap, water dwelling animal engraving, ect...) I have a collection of different straps for the SMPc and decided to get some for the Casio, too. Now I can have the desired look I want for those activities that are not appropriate for an expensive watch. Here's a few pics...1.jpg2.jpg3.jpg5.jpgFor those of you interested in the Casio, I wrote a review here....rolexforums/showthread.php?t=403470

Please don't call me crazy...
Some of you may know...but I have been given this watch as my graduation present by my lovely family . So needless to say unless something goes seriously wrong (let's hope not) this one will be with me till I go to the grave .At first I was not sure I liked the skeleton hands, but then I warmed up to them nicely and IMHO they are easily visible at all times and lume is still pretty good. Still, to make the watch a bit different and more tool like I am considering getting a pro to relume the skeleton hands (ie. fill the hollow portions with lume). He will need to use blue on hour hand and green on minute hand. But I have a few reservations that I would like to have cleared ...- Will the blue/green lume match exactly the one used by Omega?- Will the lume be reliable and not flake off since the hollow is quite broad, especially on minute hand (I do not want it to come off on the dial, much worse into the movement)?- Has anyone attempted this before (any photos?)? Would I be better off bu

Recent delivery of 5711 in the U.S.?
Hi,Has anyone taken a delivery of 5711 steel, either blue or white dial, during the last few weeks in the U.S.? I am on the waitlist for both dials (preference for white) at 2 ADs and apparently they have not been given a white dial since March. Typically, both of them receive 3 white dials in a year. However, they are yet to receive their remaining 2 white dials for the year. It seems that Patek has really dried up 5711s in the U.S. Just checking whether it is a more widespread phenomenon. Thanks
