Casio Pathfinder PAG-240-1 Watch Review
Somehow, I think that the watch designers at Casio enjoy their jobs.I've never met or spoken to one, but from seeing a succession of Casios over the years, and the relentless way that they keep improving, every single time, I have to think that they like what they do. Case-in-point today: the new PAG-240-1 Pathfinder. Casio has done a lot of Pathfinders over the years, and every single time the come up with new features, killer prices and manage to improve the user interface in small ways to boot.This Pathfinder is mid-line for Casio, lacking only the radio-set functionality of the more expensive versions. It still has solar power (which I consider an essential feature for an outdoor watch), alarms, countdown timer, world time, altimeter, barometer, compass, altimeter, thermometer, trend graphs and an EL backlight. The case is 50.7mm across at the widest point, 15.5mm thick and 65g on the plastic strap.There's also a leather strap, model PAG-240B-2, and bracelet, model PAG-240T-7. As w

Hands-On: The Panerai Radiomir 1940 3 Days PAM 662 And Luminor 1950 PAM 663
Panerai doesn’t leave me indifferent. But I feel different about Panerai every time I have one on. One moment I get why the Paneristi are so devoted to the brand and why the subtle differences between each model make them so exciting. The next I wonder if the manufacture isn't running out of ideas. But the new PAM 662 and PAM 663 clearly show they haven’t. 1 OF 8 The reason in this case is their lovely tobacco-brown dials, and the history behind them. It’s a color Panerai would’ve hated seeing when they began making watches with Rolex in the 1930s. Their brass dials were black and meant to stay that way.To their dismay, the Florentine house would soon find out their patented radium-based powder (Radiomir), which so successfully lumed the hands and indexes of their diving instruments, would later turn them brown.That’s exactly what happened to one of its most famous watches, reference 6154. Nicknamed the “Egiziano Piccolo,” it

Got this odd Speedy from Japan - 3513.33
When I saw this watch I searched for a few months for the best specimen I could find. Hilariously, the whole time I was looking I thought the dial was white but in person it is definitely silver. I'm apparently blind.

Shots of my Aquanaut...
Whilst creating a review for my WatchHobbyist YouTube channel, I decided to take some photos of the Aquanaut I picked up recently. They've me realise how much quality is there even more, to the point where I'm going to start the video review from scratch!I absolutely adore this watch...

New Member, Old and Damaged Air-King
Hi, I'm from DC, and I just inherited a vintage Air-King.Was curious if I could get some advice on the best and/or most cost-effective way to repair said Air-King.I haven't yet removed the band to see the serial number and other information, but it looks to be a 70s or 80s Air-King, with a severely scratched and cracked crystal, and very worn and scratched band. The watch still ticks, but is slower than it should be. I plan on getting the watch repaired fully, but I'm unsure if it is worth going the Rolex certified route when considering the likely value of the watch itself.Watch holds sentimental value, as it was my late grandfather's, given to him by my late grandmother.
