Watch Experts Network: ‘¡°Authentic¡± NASA velcro strap ¨C Speedy Tuesday meets Strap Review’
If you start to explore the world of Speedmasters and Omega in general one name you will come across is the late and great Chuck Maddox. Many things we know today are results of his thorough research, which is still a reference point for a lot of topics. Let that be a Speedy Pro, a vintage Heuer or vintage chronograph in general; he had his hands in everything. And boy was he ingenious. So ingenious that his works inspired a lot of people to start their own research, buy their first watch, or like the subject of this article, make their own ¡°authentic¡± NASA Velcro strap.As Phil (or Kizzi known by members on watch forums and eBay) a veteran Speedy wearer for 40 years puts it:¡°¡­always thought it would be cool to have a watchband linked to Apollo to go with the watch, but the ones available never looked like flown ones sold at auctions or from the NASA image archive, and that always puzzled me. It wasn¡¯t until I chanced across Chuck Maddox¡¯s website that hosted the NASA watchband specific

Girard-Perregaux Skeleton Pocket Watch
This is a 'see through' pocket watch (circa 1939) and from what I understand, it was originally a promo item from Shell Oil manufactured by Gerard-Perregaux. 30,000 were made and distributed throughout the United States. Though many of them are now long gone, I have one that is physically intact although it no longer runs. It is a manual winding, 7 jewel movement and hardly representative of Girard-Perregaux's watchmaking legacy. On the other hand, it is somewhat unique and while folks don't ordinarily carry pocket watches anymore I'm wondering whether it is worth fixing. Replacement parts are no longer available and so there are limitations to this undertaking.It was my father's and he used it as an everyday work watch during the early to mid 1950s. One day it just stopped running and was tossed into a drawer only to be discovered 60 years later.Is anyone here familiar with this model and the cost-effectiveness of getting it running again in terms of the watch's overall value?

I am seeking advice from the members. . .
Since January 1, there have quite of few new and vintage Hamiltons added to our collections. What do you think about having a thread that would just cover Hamilton watch reviews? We could stick it at the top of front page of the forum and as new members come by, it could serve as a tutorial for their Hamilton education.Opinions?

Weight of 15400St without the steel bracelet.
15202st booked and on its way in 2-3 months.Want a watch which I can wear with the rubber or leather strap and at a same time should feel little hefty on wrist. Considering the 15400st blue dialDiver and Offshore I didn't like much.
