Incoming! SNZG07J1 arrived in the mail today
My new Seiko Military Automatic arrives in the mail from Singapore today. I really wish the model was available in the US.Here are some shots.

Vintage Model - K-454
Hamilton K-454catalogued 1955-195710K yellow gold fill with stainless steel back17-jewel automatic movement by Burenanti-magnetic, shock resistant, water resistant35mm case diameter38mm over the lugs17mm strap widthThe K-454 is cmmonly referred to as the "Sputnik" watch because of the futuristic dial design. Note how the markings on the dial give the illusion that the lugs pierce the case to hold the watch together. The hands have luminous inlays and the marker dots have it, as well. Also, the crown is recessed into the case for a smoother look.

A productive trip!
Well, besides going to the Phillies parade I had an interesting day. I spent a few hours at Sam's shop photographing a complete service for a coming installment of the Horology 101 series (I know, it's a gratuitous promotion). I took my Maurice LaCroix with me to see what we could do about the crown digging into the back of my wrist. He didn't recommend changing it, but asked me a few questions about how I wore it. I showed him that it was too tight on one strap hole and didn't have enough play to let the crown move when I bent my wrist back, but too loose on the next and would roll around my wrist. So he grabbed a punch and put a hole between the two and shazam! it was perfect. There were some other pleasant distractions during our breaks like this UltraChron 36,000 bph Longines automatic and a nice Aqua Terra:I have some great photos, but so many it will take a week or two to edit them. Oh, and the city was PACKED with throngs of red clad fans! What a fun day!

Visit to AP Boutique - Some new discoveries
Visited AP boutique in Singapore yesterday and peruse the rather rare RO Skeleton 15305 and also the increasingly hard to find RO Jumbo 15202.Here are some snap shots to share : The RO Skeleton will be a great addition to watch collectors that like to peer at watch movements. It is however, IMO not that practical as a watch because it is kind of hard to decipher the time with a quick glance due to the hands kind of disappear amidst the multitude of components. As for the RO Jumbo, it's certainly a beautiful piece, and the black display which shows off the customized JLC 2121 movement is exquisite.
