What kind of work do you guys like done on a watch? I see Bill Yao does polishin, bead blasting, and domed crystals. What stuff makes your watch "better"?

I like the diferent dials and hands he offers. The orange SAT dial is nice. A domed sapphire crystal is preferable, to me, to the stock hardlex.
 
Jeremy, very nice pic--did you use a light box?

Paul, chronograph.com is a fine place to do business--I bought my first Seiko 5 through them. Since most of the Seiko line isn't available through US retailers, you pretty much have to go overseas to get "the good stuff".

I just bought a Seiko 007 from a guy over at "The Seiko & Citizen Trade Forum" ($95, shipped Priority), and I can hardly wait to receive it!.:).
 
I picked up the SXA55K orange faced Seiko Automatic (more traditional) Diver from Chronograph.com. Beefy nice watch. DIffers from the SX007 and 009 in that the face has bullet-shaped markers instead of round and a blue and white chapter ring.

It was cheaper than the J (Japan) divers (it's a K meaning non-Japan). I say go for one! Chronograph is an excellent site with great service.
