Shinola Black Blizzard Titanium Chronograph Watch
For 2014, US-based Shinola in Detroit will release their first titanium watch with the Shinola Black Blizzard Chronograph. The Shinola Black Blizzard will come in two case sizes and is very much part of their 2014 theme, which seems to be all about the rotating diver's style bezel. Buzz around Shinola is still high and their products genuinely look attractive; the question for me is whether or not their pricing is starting to get a bit more ambitious than the market can withstand in the long run.Shinola is very much about celebrating the USA. As you know, Shinola is a former shoe polish factory (shine-ola) and a few years ago was revived within Detroit to produce watches, bicycles, leather goods, and other items in the USA. In regard to the watches, they are produced using quartz movement kits from Ronda in Switzerland, while the other components for the watches are mostly from Asia. The manufacture location in Detroit assembles the watches and give the products that good ol' feeling o

Enjoying Sunday Morning on the Deck
I recently put in an 802.11N router in my home, so I can easily work outside on the deck. It's very peaceful out back:Everything I need to work:I couldn't resist taking a few watch photos while I was out there. I guess I should admit that I recently purchased a Canon "Elph" SD1000 as a pocket camera for doing wrist shots and such when I'm not wanting to haul around a DSLR and my backpack full of lenses:It does OK for a pocket camera. Karen eventually joined me and brough a nice snack - fresh cut pineapple! This shot if for Leo: :DI hope you enjoyed these Sunday morning photos - now we're off to the pool!

Rusty left these behind.
Looking through my archives and low and behold I found these things. They were given to Rusty to loose on persons that cause ill will in the Invicta forum when Rusty moderated their. I brought them over so you would have them in the Hamilton forum for just such an occasion. They can be a great defence for you if needed because all should fear flying monkeys!Besides, Rusty did leave them there and they are quite the problem to feed and care for!Please take care of them. They were laid off from a QC job and have some issues with corporate types.

26400 FC 44 for PP 5164...would ya ?
Simple proposition is on the table. Would have to add a few K. Any thoughts would be appreciated. For full disclosure I do have a 5980r and AP diver both of which would stay. TIA for all the opinions.

Do you treat your PP like you do your Rolex?
I personally don't.I guess it's just because the 5712 shows more wear compared to a Rolex.This is not to say that I don't wear it, but I am definitely more careful with it on.I also don't wear my 5712 when going for example hiking, or on nights with heavy booze, etc.Such occasions are perfect for a Rolex IMO.Honestly this is a reason why I am considered getting a PM Rolex instead of an AP RO. I feel the PM Rolex would definitely get much more wrist time.Something about Rolex makes me feel very care free. They go everywhere, and I am not worried about damage.How about you?
