Ancon Sea Shadow Hands-On
It's always fun to find a brand you've never heard of, though for us, it happens less and less these days. So, when I stumbled upon Ancon watches a few weeks ago, I was extremely excited. A quick glance revealed over-sized, over-built tool watches with looks akin to war machines, not your average desk diver. A deeper inspection revealed that the watches were a mix of familiar elements, well-tuned colors and interesting detailing that when combined created watches that were simultaneously charming and fierce. Like an antique weapon, there is something sculptural and entrancing about them, but underneath, the aggressive intentions are still apparent.The inspiration for the watches is the USS Ancon AGC-4, which was a modified commercial passenger-cargo ship meant for carrying troops that saw a lot of use in WWII. The watches themselves, of which there are 3 distinct models and many variations currently available, are a strange mix of huge modern cases with classic dials. Those who are fam

If you have a small wrist and a 44mm version, please post pics of your watch! Also please comment if you had to purchase a short length strap for your watch for better figment. Thanks.

Strap for my 1970s Seamaster
Hi there people,I'm currently looking to put my 1970s Seamaster on a leather strap, probably a military style cuff bracelet. The problem is, the gap between the lugs is very narrow, possibly 10-12mm, so what I'd like to know, is where can I find a bracelet to fit?I've attached photos in case my description is unclear. Thanks!

New to Omega, Which one?
I'm considering purchasing my first Omega and would love some feedback. I'm thinking of choosing between the Speedy and Seamaster Pro. First, neither is better suited for the life I actually live, only the life I would like to live - so either deep sea diving or space travel seems ok. I love the SMP and have even been looking at one with a black leather band. However, I also love the heritage of the Speedmaster and would love a manual wind tool watch. Any thoughts for an Omega newbie?

So I was at Sam��s Club the other day...
I was in the jewelry section, just looking around. I happened to be standing close to the watch section when I heard, Mom, is that a Rolex? It sounded like a young voice, so I turned around to find a boy who looked to be about 4 years old, pointing towards the group of Invicta watches. The mother replied what? and continued walking as did the young boy.I was kind of blown away by this experience. How does such a young little boy know about Rolex? Maybe someone in his family owns one? Maybe he sees the advertisements on the road? Mom sure didn't seem to care about his question or about the watches.What do you all think?Has anyone experienced something similar before?
