.....this is the last of the watches I can afford to get today .....but it is the second Hamilton, 1 Benrus and the Enicar......eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low pricesthe photos aren't very good, but I do love that dial ....and it appears to be a Hamilton Illinois .....Are they rarer that the regular Hamilton ? .....DId I do ok with this one ? ....or perhaps I should wait and ask that question when I have the watch in hand .....oh boy oh boy oh boy ! ....got 4 watches coming in the maiil .....I always feel like the folks in this video when I am waiting for watches to arrive!I can't find the original.....does anyone know about this remake ? ....never heard of it ......it's not bad actually.....the kid playing Opies role looks more like a New York newsboy than a small town lisping redheaded kid....

The big delivery truck dropped something yesterday that a WIS would appreciate.......
Sorry, it's not a watch but these cool Orbita Sparta Winders with guaranteed5 year lithium batteries. I already own 3 Orbita Spartas that are powered viaAC/DC adapter and I could not be happier. I love their patent that simulatesnatural wearing of the watch. As such these winders do not rotate, but swinggently - just like you would wear the watch. AND - they are virtually silent evenwhen one of them was sitting about just 1 foot from my head - on my night stand !This setup works great if you do not have enough space for some large4 or 6 piece winder box, or...as you can see, this is a perfect setup for my built in safe.I had a great experience with the 3 single Sparta winders that were poweredfrom an electric plug. I do not expect anything else from these three 'wireless' - 5 yr. lithiumbatteries powered pieces. I will post a report and evaluation after a few weeks of use.Thank you guys at Orbita for supporting our forum and thank you for offering us such great bargains for these test

update on Triton 2000s and Le Mans
We now have our new shipment of Triton 2000s in and ready to ship! We enjoyed a successful sale on the Triton 2000 Swiss Dive watch over the summer. Actually, it was popular enough, that while it was supposed to end mid September, we will go ahead and take it to the end of the month, September 30th is the last day Also, I want to let you all know there is some work being done with the Le Mans series, so expect some exciting things to come your way in the not too distant future regarding that. I will get any specifics on what it will look like and images ASAP. Alright, well there is a two minute update for every one.SamDebaufre Swiss Watches

How do you clean your patek watch on leather strap?
You cant hold it under running water for various reasons obviously. Do you just wipe it with a dry cloth?

Lume on Patek Aquanaut 5167A vs 5164A
I was in the AD the other day to view the Patek Aquanaut 5167A and 5164A as I had decided to purchase one. I notice that the lume on the hands and dial on the 5167A was a bit off... the colours were not uniform and it had a slight green tint on them (some darker than the rest). However, for the 5164A, the colours on the lume areas were almost pure white and uniform. To double confirm there was a difference, I checked around this forum for pictures on both models and indeed, what I had spotted were the same issues on the 5167A.Does anyone here knows what is going on? Isn't the lume being applied on the 5167A the same as the one for 5164A? I understand that the 5164A was almost double the price to that of a 5167A and thus, was the quality better?The other issues was although the 5164A also uses the 324 movement, would it have the sticky date problem like some of the 5167A or 5711 as the date display is done differently?Thanks and hope the seniors here and enlighten me on the issues above
