Citizen Eco Drive - Charging problem
Dear Learned membersI changed the rechargeable battery of Citizen Eco Drive SOLAR-TECH 180. It has movement of GN-4-S and other number is 7871.After replacing the MT 920 rechargeable battery, I kept the watch for several hours under a table lamp of 60 W incandescent bulb. Even after about 10 hours of under light, its not charging. When I pull the stem and keep it under light for few minutes and then i push the stem it works. However, after just keeping the watch for two minutes in full dark, it goes jumping two seconds stage.I looked at Citizen website, first of all there was no 7871 number on their site, but it does have 7861 which says full charge in 3.5 hours in sun light and 12 hours in cloudy day.Does any one have experience like that before?What do you suggest in this situation?Jaswant Kamboj

Longines flagship identification help
Hi everyone,I have recently been trying to identify my late fathers watch.I contacted Longines to ask for some help and this was their reply..After having checked in our archives, hereunder I give the information I could find on your watch :The serial Nr. 22112270 identifies a two-tone wristwatch which model reference was 161.6863.4.211. It was part of the ¡°Flagship¡± collection and was sold to Baume & Co, at that time our distributor for U.K., in 1987. It is equipped with a quartz movement L.161 (hour, minute and date).Its retail price was of CHF. 990.-.Iv noticed all the longines watches seem to be identified like this L4.716.4.72.6Why have they not given me a number like this? I'm new at all this so sorry if there is an obviouse answer!Iv found one that was on eBay that looks exactly the same but with no information.. item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/vie...622&cmd=VISPECI hope this helps!Many many thanksDouglas glen

Question on a "collectors" piece.
I am graciously falling into a collectors unworn piece from 2004. I think I should buy one similar to it and hold on to the collector and keep it for posterity. Am I being anal or is it normal? I hate to wear it and muck it up when I could easily hold on to it and have a museum piece to keep for a while. Your thoughts?

Need trade advice: Rolex for Patek
All, I'm looking to acquire a Patek Aquanaut BNIB. I can trade for it with the following watches.Daytona Ceramic plus Explorer (newer model 2016) = even tradeOr, BLNR, SUB-C date, and Explorer (newer model 2016) + 3K.I've owned an Aquanaut in the past and regret selling it so know what I'm getting. Given the options above, which trade would you do? BTW, I love all the watches I just don't want to come out of pocket on the Patek. Thanks in advance for the advice. This is a tough decision for me.
