Watch Deals Of The Day Together On One Site: WatchDODdy.com
A great way to get a good deal on a nice watch is to check out a "watch deal of the day" site. These sites have special prices on watches that last for 24 hours. Each day there is a new deal. If you are an avid follower of these sales, it can be a problem as there are so many to look at. Plus, there are some you don't even know about. I recently learned about WatchDODdywatches-dealer. It aggregates many (maybe all) of the watch deal of the deal sites together in one easy place. I think it is a great idea. Frankly, I appreciate it, but don't know what WatchDODdywatches-dealer gets out of it. They must have some super special plan. Or alternatively, they are watch lovers themselves who wanted to share their little creation.They have a sense of humor too, which is good. Their domain name takes the "DOD" acronym from "Deal Of the Day" and wants to be your "doddy" (daddy) of watch deal portals. All they need now is an RSS feed (maybe they have one, it wasn't clear) and I am hooked. Still, y

Some of my vintage Hamiltons -- round and oval
I'm coming to the end of my Hamilton SOTC. I know I am weak on anything post-WWII, so there is room for growth. I especially am interested in putting my toe in Hamilton Electric waters (is that a deadly pun?)...Anyway, here are my last two installments. The first is a ca. 1927 Oval with plain bezel in ggf. This was Hamilton's only model using a somewhat unfortunate lug/case design, necessitating curved spring bars. Many examples have had the lugs extended, allowing the use of straight spring bars (this one has the original lugs). The two-tone dial is rather unique, the design engraved into the metal of the dial. The refinisher can thus use the engravings as a template for the markings. I considered having this one refinished, because of the irregular patina, but ultimately decided to leave it the way it is. It is rare to find an original dial which hasn't been "cleaned" of most its paint, down to the skeletonized markings. Finally a 1941 Lexington, Hamilton's first stainless steel mod

I held the line last night and passed up a sale Tourbylion*
Was flipping through the channels last night when I saw ShopNBC's resident "cougar" hawking a Stuhrling turbelyon*.Considering most of the Android/Stuhrling turbilens* go for $900 to $1200, the $595 price with 6 payments actually looked somewhat tempting.Then, that brief moment of wanting was beat down. A Chinese movement "finished" in Stuhrling's Swiss factories reminded me to the fact that for $600, I would get a Chinese made case, and a Chinese made movement that might have been stamped finished in Switzerland, at best.For a hundred bucks, yeah, I might bite, but at that price once can find a nice brand name Swiss watch or one could save a bit more and get an even better watch.Still though, it looks nice, has a sapphire crystal, seems to be nicely finished. It just isn't worth the asking price.Anyway, the mesmerizing movement of the terbeyone* was resisted, at least for now

Try to pick just ONE.
Hi everyone,I'd love to see photos of everyones favorite watch. Try to pick just one if you can. I only have one watch, but it has many shoes. I'm really big on buying handmade watch straps. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of my one poor watch now. I will try to snap some soon. :)

Clarification needed please
Guys, can anyone please clarify the main differences between the calibres 2226 2326 & the 3126, as I see various models such as Safari, Navy, etc advertised with all of the above calibre, did they change throughout difference series such as E,F,G & H ? Also which is regarded as the most reliable?
