The $150 Bulova Hack Military-Style Watch
While watches don't seem to generally be affected by seasonal trends, I do, for whatever reason, associate summertime with military-style watches. I guess it's just the color schemes you often see, as well as a sort of rugged utilitarianism that lends itself to traipsing about in the outdoors.While you have all of the usual suspects for affordables in this category, there's a new one that came across our radar that we thought was worthwhile bringing to your attention. That model is the Bulova Hack, by Bulova. At first glance, it's easy to see that this fits into the military theme for a watch - and it's just not some styling exercise. This actually has ties into their archive - a much earlier iteration of the Hack was issued to the U.S. Army during World War II. So, not quite a trench watch, but definitely in that lineage.Why even mention trench watches? For me, those have a particular look to their dials and handsets - and the Hack definitely follows in that tradition. The font used h

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept CS1 Tourbillon GMT Watch
I was really happy to see a new Royal Oak Concept watch. It is hard to explain where this collection fits in to the Audemars Piguet watch collection. They aren't quite Royal Oaks, and they aren't quite Royal Oak Offshores. Rather, they are highly futuristic looking high-end watches that are another Royal Oak collection all together.There are a few Royal Oak Concept watches. The first one came out in 2002 as a 30th anniversary model of the Royal Oak watch. Since then a handful of these watches were released in a few different versions. The most recent model was the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Carbon Concept Tourbillon Chronograph. The case design has been consistent since the first Concept watch. What has changed are the materials and complications in the movement. The 2011 Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon GMT is one of the most simple versions, but very elegant in its design. It features the time, a tourbillon, and a GMT second time zone dial. At the bottom of the watch is a simple selection

The Bell & Ross BR-01 93 GMT Automatic Multi-Timezone Watch
Bell & Ross added a new complication to the BR-01 series with the BR-01 93. The BR-01 93 GMT adds the a second timezone function that is displayed with a second hour hand on a 24 hour graduated bezel. This automatic-winding timepiece is geared towards travelers. By setting the 24 hour clock to Greenwich Meantime, the local time can be calculated and set quickly and simply. The separate hour hands can also be used to display two preset times. The bold, clean BR-01 design lends itself well to the legibility of both times.The automatic movement is the 2893 calibre from ETA, which gives the watch part of its name. It is a variant of the infamous 2892 and has 21 jewels, a power reserve of roughly 41 hours, and the usual incabloc anti-shock system. It is quite thin at 4,1mm, so the GMT Instrument remains about as thick as the basic BR-01 92. Because of its relatively low profile, this large square watch fits well on an average seven to eight inch wrist.The dial is simply immaculate. To m

Is there a Panerai you are waiting for????
One that doesn't exist I mean....yet. I'm hopeful that they'll make some more 232/249 style cases or do more variations of the 610/609. Basically, I like the thinner, lower profile Radiomirs in 45 or 47mm. I love the 424/449 but the case proportions just don't make me buy it. I don't know, it just is to curvy if that makes sense. If they would do a SLC in a thinner radiomir case, I'd have to get. Put that 8 day movement in there and it would be even better.I would also like a 657 in a Radiomir case with maybe a flat dial. That would make an awesome daily. Auto, Date, GMT.Also, why not a white Radiomir......Can't get enough.Alas, I'll be waiting for some time.What about you guys?

Come on them quick poll...
Yellow or white gold Daytona oysterflex?
