Nautica NMX 300 Watch Should Be For Ghost Rider
Can you please humor me for a moment and consider that this new line of NMX 300 watches from Nautica is perfect for Marvel's Ghost Rider. I am talking about the comic book character, as I actually never got to see the Nicholas Cage movie version that I was warned against. The Ghost Rider is your typical bad-ass biker with lots of dark leather and metal (not only on his person, but on the bike too!), and a flaming skull. In Ghost Rider's situation, the flaming skull is actually his head (at night) while on most other bikers who bear the image, it is in the form of a leather jacket stitch-on, or obnoxiously placed tattoo (not to self - consider how many bikers have Ghost Rider tattoos. Cool or cliche?).I just take one look at either the all luminant face version or the chronograph and think 'Ghost Rider accessory.' Both the naked steel or black ion-plated versions go well with Mr. Ghost Rider. Off the hell-hog he probably would look best in the black version with luminous green face. On

Question about spring bar for old Elgin
Hello to all,First post. Hope I'm doing this right.I recently acquired a working old Elgin wrist watch from the late 30's. The watch has hooded lugs which have built in pins (not fixed lugs but short pins on the inside of each lug).I can't figure how I am to attach a strap. Perhaps this setup was meant to use with a metal bracelet. I've uploaded two pics to clarify. I'd like to use a leather strap Can someone give me some help with this? Do I have to drill out the spring bar hole or is there a special spring bar with holes on the end?Thanks,Dan

The original big watch "The Longines Hour Angle"
There was a thread sometime ago about oversized watches and I made the comment about the original big watch. Well here are few pics and some useless history.Many of you may know this history but this watch was originally designed by Col Charles Lindbergh and produced by Longines after he came back from Paris. It was originally designed in a 47.5mm size for flyers and had an extra strap extension to go over flight jackets and some pilots would strap it to their legs, this was virtually a pocket watch on a wrist strap. For many years the original was copied in smaller versions of the day. It seems about every twenty years Longines has released a version of this watch. This time, probably in association with the recent big watch craze they released it in its original size. I hesitated buying it because of its size but it is an absolutly beautiful watch and has an incredible history. As is my common practice I took it off its original strap to keep the original strap pristine. This strap
