Very interesting read and I learned quite a bit from inputs of the masters ahead of mesubtlelaugh.gif. My only input for an automatic to be brought to space is that it's spring can be wound and the spring will power everything else that requires kinetics. Like the manual wind that requires a regular dose of winding, the spring breathes life into the movement.

I guess that's how simple it is to mecrap.gif. I liked this thread.

Thanks, Nate. I've been looking at the watch for the past 2 years and just simply couldn't afford it. The bracelet was made and designed by the Russians. I'd do anything to own that virtually indestructible Seiko.
