The $150 Bulova Hack Military-Style Watch
While watches don't seem to generally be affected by seasonal trends, I do, for whatever reason, associate summertime with military-style watches. I guess it's just the color schemes you often see, as well as a sort of rugged utilitarianism that lends itself to traipsing about in the outdoors.While you have all of the usual suspects for affordables in this category, there's a new one that came across our radar that we thought was worthwhile bringing to your attention. That model is the Bulova Hack, by Bulova. At first glance, it's easy to see that this fits into the military theme for a watch - and it's just not some styling exercise. This actually has ties into their archive - a much earlier iteration of the Hack was issued to the U.S. Army during World War II. So, not quite a trench watch, but definitely in that lineage.Why even mention trench watches? For me, those have a particular look to their dials and handsets - and the Hack definitely follows in that tradition. The font used h

'Old Geezer" Patrol Scores, may have hit 2 out of the Ball Park
Wow!!!...I think I just uncovered one of the most beautiful Hammy's of all time!!!...someone may have to be pretty darn old to appreciate this gem, but there are many of us....and to top it off, I may also have secured a near twin(but slightly upscale, but incredibly gorgeous!!!)...I will know for sure in a few days...if I am indeed correct about what I am probably going to unearth, there may be a general out cry to replace our Forum banner watch picture!!!(I kid you not!!!!)....I am going to have to figure out this watch photography thing pretty pronto!!!

This Is Funny...
I'm a member of another (non-watch) forum which has a very small membership. It's just a group of folks who've been "friends" on the internet for years.Anyway, one of the forums there is called "Pick's Magic Closet". It's a place to discuss things like motorcycles, cars cameras and, yes, occasionally watches. Last night, one of the guys (who I actually know) was telling us that he'd purchased one of those $50.00 quartz Pro-Divers from Costco. One of the comments he made was that he had to have three links removed form the bracelet. His exact comment was "Well I had the bracelet resized...don't know what kind of gorilla they are marketing these to, but had to take out 3 links".I replied with the following:Higher-end watches include the extra links separate from the bracelet. Lower-end companies like Invicta simply include them already installed.The reason for that actually goes back to medieval times, when it was quite common for men; particularly nobility in Europe and Scandanavia, to

Panerai Domed Sapphire
I'm thinking more and more to buy my 1st Panerai. I'm spending hours on this forum looking at pictures and pretty much made my mind up that I really love a domed one. I think up to 44mm would be ok but 47mm seems to be to large on my wrist. Is it just me or do most domed Panerais come in 47mm?I do love the 233 but have seen some very nice other ones which I do not know the model numbers at the moment but they all look like 47's. My dream Pam would be around 44mm with domed sapphire and a brown suede leather strap. Any suggestion from our Panerai experts would be much appreciated. I really want a keeper and that's the main reason for taking my time. Thanks in advance,Frank
