Hamilton Khaki X-Patrol WIll Help You Master The Metric System
Hamilton's Khaki line of watches have been popular among outdoorsmen/women looking for wallet friendly, rugged mechanical watches. Very useful watches, even if a tad uninteresting. The aviation inspired X-Patrol adds a new spin to these watches however, with the addition of conversion scales for world travelers that haven't quite nailed down units like kilometers, liters and meters. What's more, the X-Patrol has a new movement, various dial configuration options and a sub $2,000 price tag. What looks at first glance to be a gussied up Tachy bezel, is actually two rings that flank the dial, one of which rotates via the crown at 9 o'clock. On the inner ring are 4 separate data sets that can be matched up with the rotating outer bezel. Once you've got the arrows lined up you can make your conversion of miles and kilometers (statute or nautical); heights or altitudes in feet and meters; volumes in gallons and liters; and weights in pounds and kilograms. Pretty useful stuff if you're trying

Need Some Opinions ?
Hey guy's, need some quick opinions !My Bumblebee is at clearwater for the water resistance test and warranty extension (extra year even on my 5 year boutique warranty) .. I have always wanted the black date wheel, I thought it would look COOL and the way it should come, however, now i'm hesitant?? Will it ruin resale down the line? (probably not right, plus I don't plan on selling it ever) but still, usually i'm a modded but something tells me maybe I should just leave it alone now , hrmm.. I grew to love it as is, they are quoting me 363 dollars all said and done for it, really not much.. I expected moreSecond thing is the survivor strap and buckle , the buckle is damn near 700 dollars???? I want the combo and a rubber/tang option, but dang it's a lot ! I have a feeling too I won't even wear it much with it as I love the horn back with yellow stitch..Would love some thoughts and impressions, thanks.Martin

20th Anniversary Speedmaster
Hi all, new-ish member here.I have not seen too many pics of the 20th Speedy, and I have it on my wrist today, so here for your eyes (we seem to like pictures, don't we?).It is I think #1609 of 2000 (don't have the booklet with me).

Time for the first purchase?
First time poster here:I have decided that for my first Rolex I am going to purchase a Yachtmaster 40 in ouster steel and platinum (116622). A big upgrade from my Tag Formula 1.My AD, which my family has a good relationship with, called me up and said 10,300 cash for the watch this weekend and it's mine. I am very tempted, but I was planning on waiting to purchase the watch until I received a promotion for work in January. Should I just pull the trigger or wait till I feel like I earned to purchase it?
