Hamilton Evokes its Aviation Heritage with New Khaki Pilot Pioneer Pilots’ Watches
Hamilton Watch Co., founded in 1892 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, began making watches for pilots shortly thereafter, in 1919. The brand’s new collection of pilots’ watches, called Khaki Pilot Pioneer Auto Chrono, bears the influence of its early aviation watches. WatchTime got a close-up look at the watches at the EAA Airventure in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, “the world’s greatest aviation celebration.”Hamilton watches have been a staple of aviation since the early 20th century, when they were used to time the first American airmail service, and by the 1930s had become the official watch of the TWA, Eastern, United, and Northwest commercial airlines. Hamilton was a partner in the first American coast to coast air services and, in the 1920s, its Hamilton 992 model made history as the watch worn by Admiral Byrd in his flights over the North and South Poles.

AP Royal Oak 15400 Prices
Hey folks,So i'm looking to possibly pick up a 15400 in black and was wondering what are the best bargains out there? I've seen new ones sell on the forum for between 13-14k. Any idea if it's possible to beat these prices with a good dealer? What have folks on here bought this for?Thanks,JP

Omega Seamaster 300GMT or a used Panerai?
Hey Fellas,I've been eye-ing the 300GMT for quite some time now and have been putting some money away on the side for one. I was planning on making the purchase through watchuseek's forum AD which saves me considerably. Now, I just began looking at the Panerais and have been very intrigued. They are rather large at 44mm and is borderline on my wrist, but they still look very cool and are quite a bit different from the watches I have now. I have a Rolex Sub Date and a Tag Monaco ala Mcqueen in blue with croc band. Lately, I've been smitten with the band...So, a brand new 300GMT or spend quite a bit more on a pre-owned Panerai?

New Member and first watch: 16013, 16014, or ?
Hi TRF Members,My very first post and wanted to say hello and thank you for the vast amount of great information here. I'm finally at the point in my horological life where I'm ready to add a Rolex to my collection. I'm barely beginning to scratch the surface though on models, movements, history, etc. So many that I would love to own!However, for my first purchase, I'm leaning towards a vintage(ish) model for a couple of reasons. Cost being one (although I realize certain vintages can command some serious money), and just partial to vintage (or vintage looking) watches in general. From the info I've gathered in the past few weeks, I think I've narrowed down my search to two models. The 16013 or 16014. How I came up with them was as follows:Must have acrylic crystal (just love the vintage vibe it gives)Be 36mm caseMust hackHave Fluted BezelHave Jubilee bracelet Prefer black or blue dial Still on the fence between two-tone and not two-tone though, hence the two models. Please Let me know
