Watch and pics are great. Like the compass detail on the bezel
The movement looks well finished too. Great report including the previous, many thanks. Love this Seiko forum, I have just ordered a SNZH51K due to a recent report and I'm waiting for the right vintage King Seiko to come along.
Cheers

Fascinating
Hey cazalea, This has truly been a fascinating series of posts. Sorry I cannot contribute much as this is a totally new area for me. Fascinating that Tag Heuer turned to SII for a chronograph. Growing up, I heard a lot of "Japanese just copy this or that"...
Here's one thought - A Landmaster Automatic
I love this watch. It has a high-quality 8L335 automatic movement that winds and hacks, compass bezel (that can be turned to line up straight, something I failed to do for this picture) very exotic case design, etc. I forget which strap it came on but I l...
I think you nailed it!
Not too keen on the Landmaster, a bit too Bear Grills for my nature, but that Astron Quartz of yours is gorgeous. The hunt is on. Much appreciated, Dean
Here's a bit more on the watch - the commemorative Astron
I just reset the Daylight Savings time on this (yes, yes, I know a bit late) and the watch was 1 second fast since last November. Titanium case with ceramic top Limited Edition. Apparently only 10 came to the USA and luckily I got one of them. Here's the ...
Thanks for this
Unfortunately preliminary searches on the usual major websites show up no results currently on the market. They are proving rare indeed. I might just settle for the new Astron GPS (love the technology). Dean
A very nice watch indeed
I have had mine for about a decade, and like it on the bracelet. I don't believe there had been very many new automatic chronograph movement designs prior to this one since perhaps the 1970s. Here is a rendition of the movement with most of the rotor phot...
I suspect it wouldn't wind too well with only that much rotor
hence, we normal mortals have to put up with all that mass swinging about and blocking our view of the innards. Steve, thanks for adding those pictures. I haven't the inclination, talent or equipment to do that level of photography. I know you have a few ...
