Initial Impression: Bulova 96A102 Commemorative Hack Watch
I was drawn to the Bulova 96A102 for a few reasons: It has a seconds subdial, it can be found reliably for under $100 and its looks, though military, are from a very different era and it stands out amongst the current crop of military inspired watches. Turns out that this watch is a reissue of the hack watch that Bulova made for the US armed forces during World War 2. For those who don't know, a hack watch is a mechanical watch where the seconds hand can be stopped for exact setting of time, which is very necessary for synchronizing soldiers. This reissue is a quartz movement, so the second stops as well, but it is technically not a hack movement. Regardless, the history of this watch adds authenticity to its design, and makes it a more interesting piece.So far, I find the watch to be a great purchase. It is well built, but on the lighter side, making it very comfortable to wear, especially in the warm weather. It measures 40 x 11mm with a lug width of 20mm, so it is a nice medium size

15300 vs 15400 dials. Same?
Just wondering if they both have same black/blue dials?I have seen the 15400's and both dials are mesmerising, however I am not sure if the 15300 also has that shine effect.I know the 15300 is a flat white, whereas the 15400 isn't.Thanks for the help guys!

MBrillant Olympus rarity...?
My friend let me try on his new MountBrillant Olympus. It's got a lot on the dial, however the moonphase, and the four year calendar hand off date setting are very nice features in opinion- Also, the bracelet is just about the most comfortable stainless steel I've tried. Does anyone know if these are really that rare..? He has all the paperwork/books, bakelite box and certificate...

My new toy :)
Hello there I have inherited a few omegas from my father. Somehow I was always a rolex guy well until now I have never really paid attention to omega models other than the constellation series. Frankly I have no idea what I just bought and it was a total impulse decision. Saw this day date speedy first time while just browsing the boutique. Before I could realise I was out of the boutique with it in less than 30 mins! I hope more knowledgeable members would chime in more details of this watch. Its by far the most busiest mechanical watch in my collection and I got really bowled over by the sheer complications in it. I tried searching the net for this reference speedy but with no luck, even in here I couldnt find more info regarding it, seems like an underated omega. I usually love to research my watches well before I buy them. I plan to wear this one only once I understand it well to truly appreciate it. Till then enjoy the photos.

PAM 389 ticking intermittently?!
Hello all, just looking for some advice/experiences: Just picked up a P series PAM 389 in almost new condition and noticed it was running 10-15 minutes slow every hour. During a 30 second staring session I realized the second hand would move and stop, intermittently, and randomly. When the second hand stops, it only resumes movement after I pick up the watch and move it around or manually wind it. Any thoughts are welcomed. Thank you in advance.
