Seiko Launches World¡¯s First Active Matrix EPD Watch
Seiko has announced the world¡¯s first watch with an active matrix EPD display. The watch features a 300 dpi high resolution display for very detailed graphics. You can choose from among five displays to suit your personal taste, or your mood. This solar-powered watch receives time-setting signals from the world¡¯s atomic clocks, assuring amazing accuracy. The time signals it receives are accurate to within one second in every 30 million years! The new EPD watch is powered by a self-recharging solar battery, so that no battery replacement is ever required. Once fully charged, thanks to Seiko¡¯s expertise in energy-efficient IC and other hi-tech electronics, the new EPD watch can run for up to nine months even without additional exposure to light. If no button is pressed while the watch remains in darkness for 72 hours, the ¡®sleep¡¯ mode is activated. In this mode, the watch remembers the time and continues to receive the radio signal for over three years! As soon as any button is pressed o

i'm thinking of refinishing my wakmann
hi there! long time lurker, first time poster, so i hope i'm posting this in the right area. so a couple of years ago my father handed down to me his 1960's wakmann in 18kt case with gold bar markers and hands that was in terrible shape. i took it to my old watch repair man in eureka,ca (before he broke his elbow and had to retire) and he fixed the movement and got it running again and he got the chronometer working also, so now it's a beautifully running watch. unfortunately it had a cracked crystal for years sitting in my fathers dresser drawer with water damage on the dial (as shown in the pictures), so part of the tachymeter has washed away, getting to the point of my post. i'm looking to get the dial refinished and relumed, along with reluming the hands. so i'm hoping the gentlemen and scholars on here could recommend some quality refinishers. i don't ever plan on selling the watch, so i'm not concerned about losing resale value.but i also don't want a hack job done on my vintage

Help for Vintage Omega
Asking on behalf of a friend, he say his father bought it in the 60s. Can some omega fans here help to answer some question? I only know when i pull out the crown it can't hack the movement and should be a after market bracelet.1. What kind of gold is that?2. Is it expensive to service the watch and hard to find parts?3. How much can he sell?Thks

What's In A Name
Curious what others think, though it's ultimately an individual decision. I'm considering one more major Patek purchase for the year (5270). I have the option to buy new with my name on the papers or one version sealed with someone else's name or a third mint (obviously, again, with someone else's name). Essentially, the privilege of being the named owner will run me about $20k. Part of me thinks that's an absurd vanity, but part of me believes this will be an heirloom piece I'll someday hand down to my son or grandson (unborn as of yet), and I'd like to avoid the awkwardness of explaining why the family name isn't on the papers and also can't imagine missing the money that far down the road.What do people here feel?

Why so much Nautilus and Aquanaut love, little for the Calatrava?
Is the dress watch dead? Sports watches preferred? Is it the price point? All the posts here are about the Nautilus and Aquanaut. I prefer the Calatravas!
