Hamilton Khaki Takeoff Auto Chrono Limited Edition Watch
When it comes to pilot watches, you are generally choosing from one of two categories¨C the simple Flieger style, or a more modern tool-style watch with a lot of complications. ?With their latest, Hamilton?has sort of bridged the gap, giving us a modern pilot watch with simplicity in mind.Hamilton traces their aviation roots back to 1919, and this new watch, the Khaki Takeoff Auto Chrono Limited Edition (yeah, that's a mouthful) draws inspiration from their elapsed time clock produced during WWII.The main inspiration drawn from that clock looks to be the color scheme, which is at once easily readable, especially with the last 15 minutes of the ?countdown bezel marked out in yellow hashes (those hashes remind me safety markings on a plane, as well).A perhaps more indirect inspiration is the fact that you can display this watch on your desk, just like a clock. ?How so, you ask? ?Surprisingly enough, the case is able to be detached and placed in its display box, thereby becoming a non-wris

Zenith Mega Port Royal Tourbillon Watch: Expensive Answer To Question No One Asked
Say, why don't they have a jumbo sized square tourbillon watch with cage bars on the crystal? Oh, well Zenith does, and this odd homage to goth time-telling befuddles my sense of association. On the one hand, you have the underpinnings of a high-quality Zenith Port Royal watch. This handsome tank watch is a modern interpretation of the classic rectangular watch look. On the other handyou have a black titanium cage.Do you recall the 1980's when those rubber watch protectors were popular? You know, on Swatch watches and others. Yea, wasn't that cool? Little rubber straps that curled over the face of the watch (only partially obstructing the view) that came in tons of (neon) colors. I sure was styling back then, I even wore several of them on my wrist at once!Well the point of protecting the crystal of watch apparently has been lost, until now, when Zenith reintroduced the cage look. So the perception of watch protection is back, and in a big (and ugly) way. Look at those ridiculous bars

What do you think a Rolex sub is REALLY worth ?
First, let me say that I own both an Exp I and a ND Sub, and I really like them both especially the Sub. But, after reading many brand forums, on this site and others, and reading some great stuff about brands like Hamilton which sell for much less than Rolex, it got me thinking Rolex prestige and its associated large (I'm sure) profit margins aside, what do you think a $4000+ ND Sub is REALLY worth ? In other words, is it really a $4000+ watch, or could it in this day and age, taking into account materials, labor, economy of manufacturing scale, etc., realistically sell for, say, $2500 and still allow Rolex and the ADs to make a decent profit ? $2000 ? $1500 ? Just curious to know everyone's opinion. I'm sure there are many.

Need a Re-Lume...who does it??
I have a '66 Bulova automatic that has become a favorite watch. The lume is gone from the hands (leaving empty cut-outs) and from the hour wands on the dial. The dial itself is about 80%. Who can replace the luminous paint on the dial and hands? There must be someone out there...
