I see they dressed up an Aqua Terra with as close to their own version of the Rolex Milgauss second hand as they could go. ;-)
Not sure how I feel about this...

Rolex Milgauss! Wonder who's in who's shadow now? Rolex and Omega, great watch manufactures, maybe that ain't the right question to ask! Seiko...? Thanks!
Looking forward to the details!

This is a very timely development given the proliferation of handheld devices and their magnetic carrying cases. The Swatch Group has access to unparalleled research and development resources and I have been impressed with the recent fruits of their labou...

a Railmaster please
By: Asad A Awan : January 17th, 2013-12:30
I sincerely pray for a Railmaster with the Broad Arrow hour hand and straight minute hand, close to the PAF versions, with this movement...that would be awesome. regards, Asad

. . . for those of us with smaller wrists, as well. The now discontinued line of automatic Railmasters offered three sizes - 42, 39, and . . . . . . 36 mm, as depicted here on my wrist. Since current Aqua Terras are available in an 38.5 mm case, there's n...
Naturally born beautiful, the vintage ones

amanico This one is naturally born beautiful and will never ever age. Perhaps, some new ones are made to look beautiful but will age, after some while.
The second hand doesn't work for me

Spolit the classy look of the whole watch in my own view. A yellow second hand should do the job. Melvin
Agreed...
