Famous Australian Adventurer -- And His Speedmaster
I'm going crazy...well, MORE crazy. I remember reading an article about a famous Australian adventurer/backpacker that wore an Omega Speedmaster while in the bush. The article included a bunch of pictures of the well-worn watch...including a missing pusher. I'm pretty sure it was on Hodinkee...but I can't find it.If I remember correctly, he liked to use the watch to keep tracking of the amount of time he had been walking. Anyone?

5167 stopping randomly
I've had my 5167 for aprox 6-8 months and ran like a champ for the first 7 months, but over the past month it's stopped running during the middle of the night while on my wrist. I always sleep with a watch on unless it's gold and have never had a problem until now. It's happened 3 times now so feel that I need to figure out what is going on with it. It's close to the end of warranty if not already past. I will check tonight about the warranty. Any clues? I've searched the web but not really much info out there. Any and all help would be great!Thanks all!Alex

Thoughts on 18K Yellow Gold Calatrava 3802/200
Hey guys,I have a few SS Rolex and wanted to add a dressier watch on a strap. A nice 3802 with box and archive papers is being sold locally for $8,250. I still have to try it on but at 33mm it sounds small, but it may work for my 6.5 wrist. Is this a desirable piece and is the price good? I'm really digging the classic look and roman dial. It was serviced 5 years ago.Any and all inputs would be appreciated. Attached pic is borrowed from the net. Thanks in advance!

Daytona Temptation
Hi allI popped into my local AD yesterday and saw the 116519LN in the flesh for the first time. I was blown away by the 'Steel and Black' dial and the Oysterflex bracelet.About three years ago I set myself a target collection of: Speedy, Sea Dweller, Royal Oak, and a Nautilus. I have the Speedy, the Dweller, and the Royal Oak, and have started the search for a 5980 or 5990.When the 116500 came along, it was too good to resist so that upset my plans a little. I've now had it 18 months and love it, but have accepted that it will likely have to go to help fund the Patek when I eventually find one. But of course this could take 3 or 4 years to get one from an AD.So my dilemma is, should I swap the 116500 for the 116519 (cost to change of c.��6k ish) and enjoy it, knowing that if a PP comes up sooner than expected, it may have to go and I'd lose money on it, but on the other hand, if the PP does take the time I think it will, then I may be able to afford to keep the Daytona.Does anyone who h
