Hamilton Khaki X-Patrol WIll Help You Master The Metric System
Hamilton's Khaki line of watches have been popular among outdoorsmen/women looking for wallet friendly, rugged mechanical watches. Very useful watches, even if a tad uninteresting. The aviation inspired X-Patrol adds a new spin to these watches however, with the addition of conversion scales for world travelers that haven't quite nailed down units like kilometers, liters and meters. What's more, the X-Patrol has a new movement, various dial configuration options and a sub $2,000 price tag. What looks at first glance to be a gussied up Tachy bezel, is actually two rings that flank the dial, one of which rotates via the crown at 9 o'clock. On the inner ring are 4 separate data sets that can be matched up with the rotating outer bezel. Once you've got the arrows lined up you can make your conversion of miles and kilometers (statute or nautical); heights or altitudes in feet and meters; volumes in gallons and liters; and weights in pounds and kilograms. Pretty useful stuff if you're trying

AP Service Center Questions
When sending a watch to AP for warranty service must the waranty card be under ones name? What if its empty? Is it advisable to polish the case to remove scratches after only 18 months of usage? Or will that thin out the case too much?

RO Balance wheel melted! Covered under warranty?
I started to feel some heat on my wrist; looked at my watch and to my surprise the balance wheels seem to have generated so much heat due to frictions and lack of lubricants and melted!Not really sure what happened there. A photo might help.

Incoming but not what you think
So, I was going through withdrawal from the Vegas GTG and had a little GTG here in Philly. Great conversation, good meal, and then this joker ends up buying an Omega instead of another Rolex. What's up wth that???? Feel free to give him grief.
