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?

Graystone Limited??
Has anyone purchased an Omega from this seller over the internet. They offer 30% off Omega with no tax and free shipping to NY? I would like to hear your experiences whether positive or negative before I make a large purchase from them.

My next watch will be a PO... but I have a question...
Everywhere I read, everyone says I should get the PO on a bracelet. Well, fantastic. I will. If only because I know that buying the bracelet separately doesn't make much financial sense. However... if I do buy it on a bracelet... how much can I expect to spend on an original rubber strap? And where would I be able to get it?Thanks.

Where is the best place to get my 5711 in the NYC area?
Either a good deal, or someplace where you get the royal treatment, i.e. where they will throw in a necktie and other goodies

Weighing a Rolex (Part II?) to verify authenticity
While trying to figure out if a 1985 Rolex DateJust (model 16013) with Jubilee bracelet is (1) real and (2) legit, I saw the How much does it weigh? thread here but, alas, it is closed.I'm convinced it is real, based on numerous sites' information about this model/date Rolex. In pursuit of total verification of that I weighed the watch on a kitchen scale that seems to be fairly accurate and got 104 grams across multiple weighings.So...for those of you in the know of such things, does this make sense? The above-mentioned thread has a range of weights for different watches and this SEEMS to be in the ball park; I wasn't able to find a thread (minimal searching) about this particular model's weight.Any feedback w.r.t. this weight is appreciated.
