Seiko Sumo with a classic look?
Some time ago I was lucky enough to build my own divers watch. I found a brand new Seiko Sumo case from a WIS in the US, got a Sumo movement from Noah in Hong Kong, got an original Seiko Marine Master dial and set of hands from Rob in the Netherlands and found an original Sumo bracelet from an Italian WIS. The result was a Sumo watch with the dial and hands of the Seiko Marine Master that I thought was awesome. I was happy for a few months, until recently when I noticed that I was kind of getting bored with that combination. I started my cogwheels spinning again to figure out what I could do. I generally like classicaly styled watches and therefore I was trying to conceive what I could do to make a change that would keep the beauty of the watch intact but change the overall look. Help came once again from Rob (Monsterwatch) from the Netherlands, he had an original set of Seiko Alpinist hands. I ordered them, they arrived and I installed them. The result? Well see below. I think

Speedmaster 321, 861, 1861 and 1863
I have read several discussions about these movements, and I think I understand their relative merits.My question has to do with the years of transition from one movement to the other, and which movement(s) went to the moon.Additionally, I very much like the present day case design, which slightly buries the crown and protects it.Did this case design, with the buried crown, and the 321 movement ever go together?And, finally, if I could find a 321 watch, what price range might I expect, and, do present day watch makers have sufficient access to 321 parts to properly restore such a watch?Oh, wait.One more question.Does the aesthetic enhancement the 1863 movement receives, in order to make look nicer through the sapphire case back, in any way make this a better movement?OK.Enough questions, eh?Thanks.

Omega Archives Extract in US?
Does anyone know why an extract from the Omega Archives is not available in the US and if one ever will be?

2005 Omega Seamaster
Hi Guys, a friend of a friend has offered me an Omega seamaster chronometer which is two years old. I saw it today and It's a great looking watch and just has a bit of dirt between the bracelet links and minor scratches on the bracelet, but nothing really to worry about. It comes with three different credit card type cards in a red wallet as well as a very thick instruction book in about 500 languages, some spare links and it also has it's original red box. It was purchased new by the seller in London in 2005. Could anyone tell me please, should there be an outside box and should there be any other paper work with it. He is looking for 1800 U.S for it. Any other observations appreciated, positive or negative. Thanks in advance, Phil.
