Hamilton Khaki X-Patrol Watch
Ah, now here is a slide-rule bezel complication that I can use. I tend to make fun of these as I am not about to do long-division or calculate fuel consumption on a tiny slide-rule, if I need to figure that stuff out at allBut this one is actually handy. This new watch for 2012 from Hamilton is the Khaki X-Patrol and it has a metric to imperial conversion scale. That would prove useful as I often travel to Europe and having no idea how far things are and how much things weigh. I am such a proud American. It isn't going to replace a calculator, but in comparison to most slide-rule bezels out there, you'll probably use this one at least once in a while.The name of the watch sounds like it was made for some make-believe military force, but it looks pretty cool. I like how standard Hamilton Khaki watches look like they are made for actual military personnel, and the Khaki models with some extra term after them look ripe for wrist time on GI Joe character.

Welcome to the club!
I have been an AP admirer for quite some time and in fact tried on my first which so happens was a ROO about 7 years ago. I thought to my self, self...

I am loving it...One of the things I was worried about was many wh

Planet Ocean Arrived
My Planet Ocean Chrono 9300 arrived today. I got the black bezel with the orange numeral 12. My only thought in wearing the watch is that the orange numeral is basically hidden with the chrono second hand in the 12:00 position. A small part of me wishes there was more visible color in the watch. Maybe i might have enjoyed the 8500 more? All of Omega's photos of the Chrono do not show the second hand at 12:00 so I never thought of this issue until today. Do any of you guys just set the chrono seconds hand in a different position just for the purpose of viewing the orange 12?
