Seiko White Dial Stainless Steel Automatic Ladies Watch SSA863

opinion needed on IWC
Hi, I'm new to this forum. Any opinions on the IWC Mark XVI Spitfire? Thanks for your help!

Sector?
I have been looking for something to replace my G-Shock as my hiking/outdoor watch because I don't wear it often enough to remember how to set it, and it's a pain to pull out the manual every time I need to. I came across what looks like a good deal on two new Sectors. Both are quartz analog chronographs, one with alarm. They both have sapphire crystals, one is on a leather strap and the other a stainless bracelet. I was able to get both for right around $200 (that's for both, not $200 each). I am not too worried about whether they are mediocre, decent, or better watches since their intended use is for when they might get scratched up or dinged around a bit. Most of the areas my wife and I hike are rocky, so the possibility of scratches/dings/etc. is very real. I actually like the way they look quite a bit, which is a definite bonus. It'll be nice to wear a watch that I like while hiking, yet not really worry about babying it too much. One has a sand colored dial, and I anticipate it w

A couple new straps from Micah...
Just added a couple new straps from Micah. The 305 is a canvas desert camp pattern with stainless buckle. The 104PVD is baby croc. Really pleased with his quality and customer service.

Adding a Hacking feature to all movements?
I am a FREQUENT traveler.... flown on one airline, over 100,000 miles this year. I love my DJ41, (purchased earlier this year) but one thing I truly miss is the feature of moving just the hour hand when traveling through time zones. With my GMT, and then my EXII, it was so easy to simply ¡°click¡± the hour hands back or forth to accomodate the time change (I might have the term wrong calling it ¡°hacking¡± but you get what I mean). I know it doesn¡¯t seem like a big deal to pull out the stem to another click and manually move the minute hand ahead or behind two or three hours, but like a lot of things in life, you don¡¯t miss something until it¡¯s gone. I guess this is a question for Larry and the other smarter people on TRF then me (which pretty much covers everyone ) but is it such a big deal to offer that feature on all movements? I wouldn¡¯t think so. The 3235 is outstanding, but this is one function I would really like to see added. Rolex, are you listening?
