Black face regulus?
Hello. First post. Through a family estate, I recently( and unexpectedly) received a Hamilton Electric Regulus. My question is about the color of the face. The only faces I have seen are white but mine has a black dial. Is this unusual? I would like to learn more; I only recently started to enjoy vintage watches and any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Maybe you guys & gals can help
About a year and a half ago I posted this pictorial:.info/foru...orum/27751.htmThere are 4 as of yet unidentified pictures at the bottom. If you know what these hand styles are called, please let me know. Also, if you know of an obvious style missing, add a pic and the name here. I'll see if I can resize it and add it to the post. Thanks!

Incame! Debaufre GMT Ocean 1
So, there I was on Craigslist looking for a French Horn for my daughter. And suddenly I was looking at watches - how does that work? Does anyone else have the same problem with ebay or craigslist? Must be a malfunction of some sort...Anyway - ran across this Debaufre and started the discussions, met for coffee and have been wearing it constantly since Saturday. I had looked at the Debaufre GMT line in the past (I gotta thing for GMTs) - but this just sort of fell onto my wrist.It was running a bit fast (+20 sec/day), I opened the case - made an adjustment and now am running at +3.5 sec/day (perfect). This is a well constructed watch and fun to wear. I'll try to post more pics and details later, but for now...B

Alright - if a guy had a budget of, oh, say 4 large, what makes the cut?
OK, so say one was willing to spend in the neighborhood fo 4k on a fine timepeice, what do you lot think should make the cut.Let's wrap some boundaries around this to keep it real...1 - 4k cap2 - I like diver styles, but happy with other styles3 - keep it round, please4 - nothing dressy - not my life5 - chrono or non, OK6 - strap order of preference - ss, leather, rubber (maybe)7 - I like rotating bezels, but can do without8 - date yes; day of week optional9 - size - 41mm - 44 mm rangeComing in UNDER the price cap is fine, as there's no sense spending every penny when not needed. ;)My current starting point is an Omega SMP PO.Also going to look at a Panerai, but no idea if I can even get one in my budget. I don't think so, but...Oh, preference for new over used, but again, value v. condition matters. ;)

boschett reef ranger
hey ya'll! i just ordered a new black reef ranger. i've been agonizing over this purchase, weighing it againsthe oris divers and the smps. finally economic reasons pointed me to the boschett. they have a very limited line, but what they do offer coincided with exactly what i was looking for: a dive watch; a smooth black dial; good luminosity; and a great band. swiss made mechanical is in there as well. i really considered waiting for their mariner to become available, but the more i looked at it the more it looked like it was pretending to be something it wasn't. the band and the blue lume really does it for me. i can't wait to post my pics, and believe me i will! should go great with my black '06 FLTRI. now if anyone would care to comment on the eta2824-2 they're using i would greatly appreciate it. i'm an almost complete novice at understanding mechanical movements. anyway, i opted for 2-3 day usps priority, so i'd better get to detailing my bike for those pics!
