Got a cool watch? Let's see it.

Very nice piece. I hadn't heard of Bernhardt watches. I'm really digging the Sea Shark. That's a great value - about the same price as a Seiko 007 but from a small American company. I may be adding one of those to my small collection soon.

I have an analog atomic Casio that I picked up at a Cabelas store. Good luck finding this XL red one at a store, though.

I'd get the Hamilton.

Looks like they are about 20 min away from me.

Good luck with your Vostock . I've bought a komandirskie ( close enough ) hand wind watch because I missed the routine of winding a watch . At £27 delivered was a bargain . It keeps good time +/- 3 seconds a day , 35 hours autonomy. Finish however is deplorable . Two weeks into ownership and it looks as I've strenghted nails with it .
I hope you'll be luckier than me . I'll post few piccies tomorrow .

Stop in and get the scoop from Fred on new stuff coming. He told me over email he was looking at new cases.

I like that Binnacle Anchor. I had one a while ago and let it get away from me. Today I'm wearing this Seiko diver from June of 1983.

A little patina on that one!

Red,
I just packed up my old Hamilton field watch. It's a self wind.

My point is the service center is in New Jersey. Where will the Smiths be serviced?

The watches look mostly identical to me.

Do you ride a Triumph or follow the royal family?

If you do better buy the Smiths, if not I'd recommend the Hamilton.

IMHO.

Good point on the service issue. I have been looking at the Hamilton for awhile but a Smiths popped up on the sale forum on Watchuseek and got me thinking. I think I will stick with the plan for getting the Hamilton for now (if I decide to spend the money) because I know if I get the Smiths I will still want the Hammy. Thanks for the input.

I'd read the reviews, I have had this Casio on my wrist for a couple of years. I never take it off period and I cc ski, kayak, dual sport, swimming, bathing,. I do all my own mechanics and carpentry, Casio loves the saws-all. It is incredibly tough, comfortable and cheap and so coolly effective that all my other better watches just sit. Waterproof to 600 ft so it's a dive watch approved for space travel.
Go figure.

$40.

IMHO.

For the record I ride a KTM 640a.

There is. I got my first 6309 diver in the mail Christmas Eve. This is my second. Both all original, both Suwa dials. I bought them from one of the trusted sellers at SCWF. One or the other has been on my wrist virtually every day since. Yesterday, I got this one, also a 6309, on its original bracelet.

Today's watch: the one I cannot read rapidly: Stauer Speedster.

Go to inmates and find the "mr. Hamilton" thread. Grab the watch for a field test.

Good plan. I think I have posted in that thread that I could give it a temporary home if it makes it to Coastal Carolina.

Love this thing. Bauhaus eat your heart out. I've ordered a brown leather w/ deployment for mine as well.

Did you order from the various airline magazines that advertise this?

I'd go with the hammy. I'm biased because I have a khaki mechanical that's been superb, but I also think that the Everest looks too much like an Explorer I and thus lacks in the originality department, whereas the Hamilton seems to be its own style.

Ordered this one yesterday.
