Thanks about the Seiko.  I have posted elsewhere about it (can't recall if I have here at 3T).  I refer to it personally as the "Emperor's Seiko" as it was made for his "Household".  No way to know really if the Emperor wore this model (or any watch for that matter) but the evidence that Seiko made these for the household of the Emperor is pretty strong.  GS+ quality movement, VERY understated, and rare.  The chances of my actually getting one are slim but.......

Since I already have my grail watch, The Enzo with custom bezel with bracelet would be my pick, and its already on the way.

Oscar - I happen to love the Freak ever since I saw it a few years back. Ingenious method of winding and setting the time.

Mine would be always the "next one". I am constantly learning new things and watches all the time, My mind wanders from one watch to the other.

My current grail lust is for a Fortis B42 Cosmonaut chronograph...don't think I can afford one though unless I sell off an existing grail or two...GULP!

Again, some cool timepieces. I think you have to have a Pilot's license to wear that Fortis. That is one hunk of a watch. Ditto for the Vogard. Gorgeous blue color.

I've seen a couple of the B42's on sales fora lately but even there they are running $2k or so.........Looks like a nice watch
