Long time no seeing you, ED! Hope all is well. Today I am wearing the Ananta auto chrono......It's sweet!!!!! Stay in touch.
Hey Frank, Wow! congrats! no worries, it's a secret. I am still dreaming of the auto chrono with the croc band! You are amassing quite a collection, the envy of anyone. Hey, nice work with the apology thread. I think there was a lot of misunderstanding going on, and some ego and hurt feelings, so I think you did a great job of defusing it. I am always interested in what you have to say about the Seikos, you r the resident expert and everyone respects your knowledge and passion. Myself, I am trying to have a diverse collection, and I love Rolex, Panerai, Beguet, Glashute Original, Patek, Omega, Tag, IWC, etc. but I have to say, the Seikos have really sparked my interest. I lived in Japan for 3 years, so I am familiar with and appreciate their engineering, craftsmanship, and passion for quality. I am very happy it is all resolved and I can glean more of your knowledge and your great photos. I will give you a call tomorrow. Cheers, Ed
No problem ED, I am here to stay!. I was at Nemaro later this afternoon and picked up another Ananta from Cristina..... Yep you guessed right, now I brand new Automatic chrono has joined the ranks! I got model SRQ003 with the metal bracelet. They gave me a fantastic price on the watch and I am sure Cristina's boss can extend the same courtesy to you. Listen closely.... I got 40% off on the watch! (Don't tell anyone, hehe) I called Cristina Sat afternoon for a price inquiry and the owner of Nemaro basically went above and beyond his call of duty and gave me the unexpected break. It was a no brainer! The watch is incredible. Another Seiko winner! Take care and hope to hear from you soon! Frank
Hey Frank, I am sorry things went so sour today. I really enjoyed your input on all the Seiko products. Your passion and knowledge are greatly appreciated. I think you were misunderstood and I was cringing because I saw this coming, but didn't know how to help. If I could help please let me know. I will talk to you later.
I have been shown the door from the forum.
Hey Frank, Yeah, I was laughing at some of the comments. I know you are having fun playing with the Rolex guys!! haha Have a great holiday weekend. Did you see the new titanium Spring Drive GMT chrono? I love it! take care.
Having fun reading the Rolex site? :) Hope all is well with you. Take care.
just woke up from my preflight nap and it looks like I will be there well after you leave. We can try again soon, ok? have a great weekend, Ed
I'll be here until around 7-7:30 PM. Let me know if you want to meet for coffee.
You know, I am also thinking about the Ananta Automatic Chronograph next.
