@mwilson:  gorgeous Glashutte...
 
 
My last "significant" purchase of 2011 (besides amp tubes):
 
CEE TEE?  CT = Cocktail Time  Seiko SARB065
 



 
Like Wayne's World...when I saw it- I said, "I will have it."  "Oh yes, it will be mine!"
 
The deployment strap actually points in the opposite direction...so you present a "clean band" to the outside world.
 
The slight tint to the face (bluish-lavender) is what does it for me.
 
Slightly cool.

I like the sunburst pattern of the dial on your Seiko. 
 
My watch you're referring to isn't a Glasgutte (I assume you refer to the brand Glashutte Original). While it's made in the eponymous town with respect to GO, it's made by A. Lange & Soehne, a different company.

Sorry, @mwilson...a friend once told me the story about Glashutte Original and yours is definitely one of the best timepieces and A. Lange & Soehne.
 
I just had to say something quickly about your piece (nice photos as well), but got on to post a couple pics of a lesser score!

I like Glashutte Original as well; in fact I appreciate Saxon watchmaking as a whole. I also genuinely liked your Seiko, and I had a couple myself. I hope I didn't come across as anything other than pointing out the difference between the place (Glashutte) and the watchmaker. There was nothing else to it.

^Nope, you were quite right to correct me...one of my friends would have told me the whole history again and the correct maker is very important!

Nice watch none the less.
 
Edit: Ive found come great rubber straps here, and are pretty much made from the same materials as a Homo Sapiens! Im now looking into trading my Movado for a Rolex

I really want your (Rolex?) with the rubber strap!!!! Tell you the truth i forgot the watch, so right after im done typing this, im going to go stalk it some more and look at it.

wow, thanks! i am quite a bit older than 40 lol. i guess my wrists look good for my age hmm.

cifani, that pic i posted is not a rolex! it is an omega pro titanium, i think they are currently like $6,800 usd. i'd say keep your grandmas watch. to me it would be more important that my grandma had given it to me than what i actually wanted to have.
plus your grandma must be a high roller at the casino to win that much! i always lose at the casino. btw, i posted the exact ref# of that watch so you can locate it if you wish. it is probably going to be used and a lot more money than it was new.
also, i do not understand how "rubber" is the same as what the homo sapiens is made out of? could you please explain.

Finally found a watch that I really like. Now all I need is a decent seller. :)
 

 
From the Bulova Precisionist website:
 
The world's most accurate watch with a continuously sweeping second hand. Two of the factors that affect accuracy in a quartz watch are temperature changes and vibration frequency. Bulova Precisionist technology addresses both by adding a third prong to the quartz crystal and increasing the total vibrations to eight times the frequency of a standard quartz watch. Precisionist is a quartz watch with a second hand that beats 16 times per second, while those on standard quartz watches beat only one time per second. As a result, the continuous motion of the Precisionist second hand is even more fluid than all mechanical watch second hands that beat only 8 to 10 times per second.

That's what my family was also saying, and i totally understand where they are coming from and it does mean something that she gave it to me. I think she had lots of comps to be able to get it, its the Movado Men's Museum watch. Also the rubber band i mentioned as i showed a link previously, was a band made for Rolex watches made out of a Lava material like the HS.

i have had my eye on that bulova as well. it is a good looking watch. what interests me most is it is said to be more accurate than a thermo compensated movement and requires little or no servicing.
also, it is a lot less money than a breitling
