Introducing The Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer Aluminum, A Colorful Collection Of Lightweight Pilot's Watches
The Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer collection presents classic pilot's watch styles at an affordable price point, and with this new model Hamilton has brought a new material to the mix. The Khaki Pilot Pioneer Aluminum has a solid aluminum case, a first for the brand. This makes the watch extremely lightweight and a special treatment allows it to take on different colors. There are four color variations here, but all of them start with an asymmetrical design and a highly legible dial.Aluminum is a material not often found in watch cases. Even though it's very lightweight, it can be fragile if not treated properly. Here Hamilton has subjected the aluminum to a special treatment that renders it harder, more durable, and able to take on color more easily. This means you get the advantages of aluminum without having to worry about denting your case on the edge of your desk. 2 OF 3 There are four color options available – khaki green, sand, black, and navy –
Roman Numerals falling off Omega Constellation
Hello,So the other day I accidentally fell asleep with my Omega on, something I usually don't do, and to my surprise when I woke up I noticed 2 of the roman numerals on the bezel came off. My dad has the same model in SS and I noticed his was missing the top part of I. Does anyone know why this happens? Is there something I can get the black replaced with so it doesn't happen again? I don't see the point in paying a watch maker to fix it if it will just happen again. Thanks for any advice.
Contemplating Patek Repair Times for Grand Complications...
I was just amusing myself by calculating how much your grand complication watch would be out of your hands and in someone else's hands during your lifetime if the repair times were 6 months long.If you buy your grand complication at 40 years old and you live to be 80, how long will Patek have your watch instead of you during your lifetime, assuming a 6 month repair time?Depending on whether you include the last service at age 80, Patek will have your watch anywhere from 8.75 to 10 percent of your lifetime with the watch. OUCH! Now, if it takes even longer for them to service a grand complication than 6 months, say perhaps 1 year, then you are talking around 20 percent of your lifetime with the watch. My new philosophy is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I would rather pay more later if there is additional wear and repairs and have more time with my watch. I do have other pieces I can wear when a watch is being serviced, but it does seem like a huge chunk of time. Perhaps Patek could b

exolorer 16570 polar
Hello,I've been looking for a rolex to add to my 16610LV; been gravitating around several models: 5513 non-matte dial, 16800, 16700, 16750, but I found myself always drawn back to the explorer 16570. Been attracted to the cream markers on the white dial. I found a U series (circa 1998), titrium wording on the dial, full set; very good condition. The only doubt I have is that the lume is still active - not super luminova like but rather luminova. I have to make up my mind by this week-end or release it...my question to the forum:- is it possible to have a titrium marked dial with luminova indicies?- is it possible for the titrium lume be glowing still?- what are the chances that the lume starts turning yellow?- should I just be looking for an older model altogether with already yellow markers ? ( although the prices in Japan are really hiking upwards on these babies)...- should I go the opposite drection and aim for one with the 3186 movement?The price is definitely high compared to las
