Casio Shows Bluetooth-enabled Watch at CES
Ever wish you had wristwatch like Dick Tracy that could transmit information and make calls? Or what about the utility wristwatch from Inspector Gadget that monitored activities and had two-way communication functions? This year at CES, Casio is unveiling a prototype Bluetooth-enabled watch that speaks to Smartphones and other mobile devices. Through Casio¡¯s Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, the Bluetooth watch will be able to perform a variety of functions on a single coin cell battery.

Hamilton US Navy Torpedo Boat Chronometer
I ran across an interesting article in hr magazine about the Hamilton US Navy Torpedo Boat Chronometer.This was a departure from Hamilton railroad watches in that it was larger and had more complications. It came in a wooden carry box that could be mounted to the bridge of a ship. It had a 21 j movement and a 56 hour mainspring along with a winding indicator.When military budgets were cut during the depression, some US Navy vessels entered WWII with one of these watches on the bridge.

5712 or 5726?
Seeking opinions from anyone who might own either (or both) of these; or from anyone who chose one over the other? Not so much interested in strap vs. bracelet, as I'm sold on the leather strap....but more interested in 5712 vs. 5726 watch, itself. Your opinions are very appreciated ahead of time. Thank you.

Does anyone make a Deployant clasp for Panerai that doesn't suck?
I hate my PAM 104 deployant clasp. It's curved so great it digs into my wrist. I bought a Panerai brand normal non-deployant buckle and a couple straps, but now I can't wear the old straps since the deployant buckle is terrible and straps aren't cross compatible. Should I write off the old straps and buy all new ones? And also, where would I find replacement screws? I haven't lost any yet, but as tiny as they are I'm afraid I'll strip or lose one.
