I was crossing Manhattan and stumbled upon this really elaborate window display at Macy's on 34th Street. Seiko is promoting their PROSPEX line including a visit by Fabien Costeau on October 19: ![]()  it's a giant life sized size Scuba diver suspended above a mechanized treasure chest that opens and closes. The chest is filled with Seiko divers and a video display. Really quite something. I hope I can capture the spirit with this photos, definitely worth a look-see if you are in Midtown through the end of October. Whole Window Display, it is BIG:  Shots of the Treasure Chest:   Close Up of the Seiko divers inside the chest:  Neat little YouTube video I shot showing the mechanized treasure chest opening and the full video cycle:
So if you can't make it in person I hope this at least gave a little taste - it was pretty cool !

With my 7C46-7009 Golden Tuna - just happened to be wearing it - notice the interested folks checking it out (and a good sense of the giant scale)!  |

I thought you had an inside guy at COSERVE NJ who let you sit on the front stoop as long as you didn't harm the wildlife for a photo op contest entry and in exchange you got to dumpster dive the rejects and declined repairs sent in to them.

Great post of Macy's upcoming PROSPEX Challenge event on the 16th October.
Hoping that others post lots if they go to the events.
No matter what, it's a great branding event.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice display! I wonder if anyone's pondering the possibility of acquiring it after the promotion is over.....  Almost worth a trip into the City.......... |

That's a hell of an opportunity for a WIS meet, with a great photo op.
