Zenith Elite Pilot Automatic Black Dial Brown Leather Strap Men's Watch 03.2430.693/21.C723

New DJII ad "The DJ introduced in 1945, was the 1st wristwatch to display the date...
through an aperture on the dial." :o)Love this ad. Not sure if it's been posted here before but it just came in a magazine I was reading today. Do you love this watch too? Rolex makes most every one of their watches SO appealing in their ads. I rarely see an ad and don't think "I gots to get me one of them there Rolexes". They can make the Daytona Leopard appear incredible and desireable in an ad with just the right lighting and setting. Cheers, Steve R

Replacing damaged bezel on PO
Unfortunately about a month ago I managed to scratch the coloured part of the bezel on my PO.My wife has today been into the Omega boutique on Old Bond Street and they have quoted between ?100 and ?150 pounds to replace it which is fine (actually expected to pay that just for the bezel itself without fitting) but that it may need sending away which I am less happy about. I'm wondering if anyone knows anywhere else that would be able to replace the bezel on site rather then shipping it off. (And do a good job obviously)Any help would be appreciated.

Hamilton Khaki Aviator
My first Hamilton watch, well sort of second as I did previously own a vintage Illinois watch from the 60's which was really a rebranded Hamilton. I picked this one up because I really liked the style and I was looking for a newer watch to add to my little hoard, nearly everything else I own is vintage. The model number is H765150 with a 27 jewelled ETA 2895 and it is 44mm wide excluding the crown, sapphire crystal front and back. The strap has a really nice soft feel to it and comes with the Hamilton "H" buckle with double holes along the strap. 44mm on the wrist was a bit of a shock, the next largest watch that I own is around 38mm. I never figured that a small 6mm would feel so much larger on the wrist. Time will tell if this one stays but after a couple of days on the wrist I am finding I don't have to strain my old eyes to tell the time. The caseback has a nice feature with the divided crystal and the phonetic alphabet down the middle bar.The watch was originally shipped new with

first chrono suggestions
Hi all, relatively new to this hobby and needing some help choosing my first chronograph. Currently i have 3 day/dates (tissot visodate, lum tec m52 and skx007) and its time to add a chrono to avoid my collection becoming repetitive.So ive narrowed it down to 3:1) steinhart nav b chrono 47mm DLC2) pre owned speedy pro3) stowa chronograph 1938 black polishedi should add that currently i am leaning towards the steinhart based on the "elabore" movement however im open to being swayed in other directions. The other 2 would be out of reach of my current budget however im happy to hold off and keep saving if i feel its warranted.Welcoming all suggestions and personal experiences, thankyou in advance.

No teaser this time - INCOMING!!
I guess not many words required on this one! Every AP collection needs one.
