Hamilton Pulsomatic Watch For 2010
I think that this will be a pretty well-received watch for 2010, and that a lot of people are going to dig this. Another of the many many "historical rereleases" we have been seeing lately. So, a long time ago Hamilton released the Pulsar. It was the first digital watch. This was in 1970, just a year after Seiko introduced the first quartz watch (that was analog). The Hamilton Pulsar was not an LCD (liquid crystal display) watch, but rather had a red colored LED (light emitting diode). With an LED, power consumption is a bit issue although it is bright when viewable. As such, you needed to manually press a button on the case to display the time on the Pulsar - as it would have drained the battery too quickly otherwise. Despite this, it was an accurate movement and really popular at the time. Pulsar then sort of branched out into a subbrand (which is actually part of Seiko now I think), and you could get similar watches up until almost now. By the way, the first 6 digit LCD watch was re

Incoming/oops...
Since I got back into the habit of reading about watches every day a couple months ago I had been seeing the 5712/1A coming up a lot. Many times it would show up in this-or-that type comparisons or polls. Last Wednesday I stumbled across this gem of a post:.watchprosite/page-wf....2513/s-0/pzt-/I had seen and handled this watch twice; once in the store, liked it, didn't buy it and then once at Patek. As I had been reading about it a lot lately, I was trying to figure out why I didn't buy it the first time I handled it. I couldn't remember the reason why.Originally I had plans to travel south and order a couple straps for my wife's new FP Journe however my wife had noticed I was looking at watches from other brands all morning so instead she suggested we go north to the city. To make sure I went she suggested we go to one of my favorite restaurants for brunch.When we first got into the AD I struck out on the main pieces I was hoping to see which were the Vacheron Quai De L'ile in s

Got my 5167 back today!
Picked up my 5167 today having been returned from Patek following a scratch on the lug and clasp made by the AD when changing the strap as it had originally been cut too short. With an extra rib the new strap fits perfectly and I can't believe how comfortable this watch is....amazing just perfect. I have really missed this piece and with it fitted correctly it is even better. Patek sent me a lovely email apologising for the inconvenience and said they did not valet the clasp where there is a very minor scratch due to it being a new timepiece and they did not advise it, but they have given me a complimentary valet at the next routine service.Picture of me wearing it today. Glad to have it back and love it more than ever

PAM 372 winding question
I just picked up my PAM 372 and noticed that the crown springs back just after a few winds. Is this normal? The winding feels so different from my PAM 177.
