It shows that while I turn old, you turn younger again!
 I mean I had interest in these more technically looking watches when i was young, but back then then I could not afford them, not to mention: "collect" watches. I call them, for myself, "cockpit-watches".

 ...well naturally, when worn on the left wrist!  In addition to my battered Seiko 150 meter SCUBA diver ...My wife gave me an electric Seiko kept powered by wrist movement or and ultrasound recharger; it keeps meticulous time and I use it to set my other timepieces.

Thats some cool looking design (the second, silver one), as if from some black-white scifi series from the 50s or 60s! There was a series in Germany from that time, "Raumpatrouille". The watch could have come from that.

The pictures you have posted among your comments made me remember all these fancy wrist watch 007 had in some of his movies like
"The Spy who Loved Me" and Moonraker. You can buy these watches, however without the thing Bond used them for. Markus

Damn...!
  I am lucky, its only available in Thailand and Japan. Say what you want about the QC desaster and mediocre callibres 4R and 6R and price policy by Seiko - when it comes to dials and design, Seiko - and Grand Seiko - are second to none. I am hopelessly vulnerable to their colopurful, reflecting treats, like a lil' kid... I curse the day I set my eyes first time ever on a Seiko. Citizen pulled some good stunts recently, too, I have three of theirs, two quartz and one automatic. Actually its four, when I also count one old watch from 25 years ago. Their new Titanium watches really are of top class design. It seems they learned a lesson or two from Grand Seiko there. For some, watches are about functionality, and precision. To me, its more, almost exclusively, the looks I fall victim too. Thank good its just watches, not girls. In the end and summa summarum watches are the cheaper hobby.
