Hamilton Brandon CLD advice needed.
Is anyone familiar with the "Brandon" model watch? I have a chance to get one at what I believe is a good price (30 dollars) it runs but needs servicing badly. By the time I buy the watch and have my watchmaker restore it I would likely have somewhere between 100 and 150 bucks in it. I have a collection of vintage Bulova watches but never owned a Hamilton so I am VERY unfamiliar with their value and how desirable they are. The only markings are "Hamilton CLD" on the dial and "Patent Pending" on the back of the case. It is 10k GF. Thanks for any info/advice.

Open Heart
Hello. I'm new to the forum, and this is my first post. I owned several Hamilton quartz models years ago (a couple of them branded and sold through L.L. Bean), at a time when Hammy's were very hard to find and many people knew absolutely nothing about them, so I'm thrilled to see the current renewal of interest in the brand.Anyway, I'm somewhat intrigued by the new Open Heart model (specifically, the white dial with gold applied numbers version). Does anyone have one ? Would love to see a wrist shot. Also, I will be in NYC for three days next month, and would like to visit some Hammy AD's other than Tourneau, of course. Can anyone offer some suggestions for me ? Looking for ADs who know the brand well and will offer discounts. Thanks very much.

Dive watches should have compasses built into them
I've spent many pleasurable hours underwater. Mostly in the Carribean. I often wished for a compass underwater. Why not have a compass built into the dive watch? Casio alrady has G shock watches with compasses built in. Why not a dive watch using that technology. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.Art

Looking for the perfect watch (in my opinion)
Hello, please excuse me if I sound a little inflexible in what I’m looking for, but for years I have been searching and waiting for what I feel is the ideal watch for me and my needs. I am hoping that someone here has seen one or knows someone that has seen what I’m looking for. Here is my absolute has to have list.1. Non-rusting metal bracelet, and case. I prefer titanium, but will settle for stainless.2. Analog and Digital display. 3. Backlighting that illuminates the analog and digital displays. (so they can both be read in the dark)4. Atomic/Radio time keeping. (I don’t want it ever to display an inaccurate time or date)5. Solar power or Kinetic power supply. (I don’t want to be putting batteries in this thing every time I turn around, or even every two to three years) 6. Water resistant enough for swimming.I have seen all of these things in watches of the same companies from the cheap Timex to all the high end names. Yet not one that I know of has them all

AP Carbon Diver - even better than I hoped!
Just purchased one from Takuya on this forum. Watch came in perfect condition as stated. It is truly beautiful. I had never seen one in person. Friend has the 44 carbon and I've seen a bumble bee so I had an idea but I think this is my favorite. I was debating between the ceramic and carbon but I'm very active and wanted something light as possible. Love the all ceramic in the pic but also love the contrast of the ceramic bezel on the forged carbon. It's stunning! Had a 44mm ROO stainless, sold it. As you can see I missed not having a ROO so here it is ;).rolexforums/showthrea...62#post5809962
