Citizen Astrodea Stargazing Watch Collection
It takes the right type of person to enjoy the Citizen Astrodea watch collection. Your typical watch lover or nerd might not get it. You might need to built-in celestial appreciation or a career in astronomy to get giddy about a star map on your wrist. I am not really any of these of these types, but I still find a lot of fascination in this watch. I am also not going to explain all the functions of the watches (as there are two main versions). One is a fancy star chart, while the other is one of the most comprehensive moon phase watches out there. Lets look at the celestial version first. Basically, the entire dial spins (slowly of course, in 'real time'). Based on this movement you can tell a lot of things. These include what you can expect to see in the sky given the time of the year, including distances of stars and planet and astronomic occasions.?? Oh, and while there are many versions of the steel watches out there (such as blue or cream colored dials and some with gold plating)

Follow-up on Renato Rip Off Report
There may actually be some veracity to the statements made by the guy from Albany. Jim Skelton has made a statement advising Renato Diamond watch recipients that the case-backs themselves will not be marked with the G color VS clarity designations any longer, and to contact Renato directly for further details. Earlier it was explained that the FCC would not allow appraisal certificates to be "shown" on live TV, and hosts were forbidden from stating the diamond quality, but rest assured the product you would receive is still the same and would be designated on the case-back. Now the case-backs will be absent any and all diamond descriptors. Has Renato just been caught doing something unseemly?

This watch must exist...I can't seem to find it.
I'm somewhat of a gadget freak. So, I like to have many instruments available on my watch. I also like my watch to have style. Therefore, I'm trying to find a watch that includes this short list of criteria:ChronographAlarmCountdown TimerAnalog dials only (no digital)Date (although, I could live without it)My search-fu is failing me on finding a watch that meets all this criteria. Well, that's not entirely true. I did find a couple of Oceanus models that twinkled my eye. I'm just surprised I couldn't find more options out there. Any help? Thanks!

This count as a match?
Matching in the inside (same base movement).

Old V New GMTs
Now that the new GMT Pepsi & Root beer models have been unveiled to the world , will the price of the older aluminium models rise , fall or flatline . I'm not sure myself ,as people have been waiting for the new ceramic GMTs to come out for years . And now they have arrived, will the new models take a lot of potential buyers from older models .
