Khyber dials
I believe the Khyber is fairly scarce, but saw that Rene has one for sale. Coincidentally, there was a listing on ebay which ended today for a Khyber. However, the dial on that one was very different than the one that Rene has (which is the same as the one in the Shugart guide).Here is the ebay listing: HAMILTON WRISTWATCH 17J ADJ 730 MOVEMENT GF KHYBER - eBay (item 270531602748 end time Feb-19-10 12:12:51 PST)Here is Rene's: Hamilton Mechanical Watches for Sale by Ren RondeauI am wondering whether there was more than one dial pattern for the Khyber, or whether this was a refinished dial (or just something cut and sized to fit).Thoughts?Dan

Diet Coke, Mentos, a Fake
i posted in the "watch runs backwards" about the lack of youtube videos involving destruction of fake watches. i recall a while back a few youtube videos where folks took a bullet to a fake but a search this morning showed nothing on the first two pages. with spring here and summer around the corner now might be the time to strap a fake to a bottle of diet coke and drop in a few mentos and video tape the event. if you know of any good "kill the fake" videos post them so we have some chuckles.by the way, my watch that ran backwards was a hoax as that post was number 666.

AP ROO Diver vs AP ROO Volcano?
Hi guys,I'm looking for a good match to the Orange Lamborghini :)I've been a long time fan of Volcano, and also it has more orange tone in the dial and has orange-stitches on the strap. But for some reason, AP Diver looking more modern to me. Very similar pricings, so no argue on that.Which one would you pick and why?Thank you!Salih

is the 5370P the perfect Patek- Vote
The 5370P is widely considered to be one of the best new watches launched by Patek in many many years.I am a big fan for the following reasons:-It exudes Patek DNA throughout - the case, the movement, the dialBreguet numerals on a black enamel dial - doesn't get much betterA perfectly proportioned case Superb enamel dial In-house PP movementThe question is - would you trade in a number of Patek watches to fund the purchase of the 5370P which would then become your only Patek (with a few Rolex's as daily beaters?)Details on the watch are in the link below:-.patek/en/mens-watches...ions/5370P-001
