Now that is an exceptional timepiece. Good to see another Glashutte Original fan here.

Did you see the newly released Capital Edition of this watch?

The Capital Edition is pretty cool. I love the grey dial but I'm not a fan of how the hour markers are in two different colors (beige and white). I wish they stayed with the beige color throughout.

Looking forward to seeing what else they have for Basel. I like the Arabic numerals they put on the Senator Cosmopolite. I have Romans on my WG Chronometer, and am hoping to see some more Arabics.

Recently acquired PVD version of the Bulova Lunar Pilot. The strap will have to be replaced but otherwise I like it. Notice this model doesn’t have the date display.

Had to break out the old Orange Monster today. It doesn't get much wear anymore, but man I love the thick chicklets of lume. Great watch for the movie theater.

You guys are killing me with this Lunar Pilot. I'm sitting here wondering what I can sell to raise the funds...




God bless America.

One thing to know about the Lunar Pilot: The bracelet and band versions are not the same. The lugs are drilled closer to the case on the bracelet version. Close enough that putting a NATO strap on one might be problematic. Mine is on a bracelet, and it's surprisingly nice for the price point, but after having seen one on a brown leather NATO...

Yeah, this is why I got the strap version. I usually don't like bracelets on most watches. My brother recently got all three versions recently and states that you have to put the pins on while the NATO is in place on the bracelet version as it's too tight a fit to simply run the strap through. He ended up selling the bracelet version and kept the strap and PVD watches.

Just discovered something really strange on my PADI turtle....it has arabic days instead of spanish or french. At first I thought it was kanji with my failing eyesight, but it's definitely arabic.

I have a similar Seiko SKX00x that a friend brought me back from the Middle East. I'll post a pic of it.

Nice. Can't wait to see it.


Finally able to get a minute for a wrist shot.
Glycine Airman Ref. GL0055 with their modified ETA 2893-2 movement. My first real watch after a lifetime of Timex Expeditions.


I'm thinking about getting the for it. Any NATO suggestions for white dialed watch?

It was a tough sell for my wife. My current Timex watch is still working. Though getting a little long in the tooth after about 9 years of hard work. She said that she only replaces shoes after they are completely destroyed. I asked how many pairs of shoes she owns.
Game. Set. Match.

Basic black. It's manly, and a perfect counter to the white dial. For something more "sporty," the black and gray "new" Bond NATO (as opposed to the original Bond multicolored pattern from 'Goldfinger').

Hi guys,

What is the latest intel on CreationWatches and JomaShop?

Any good or bad experience with either?


Cheers.

I buy from Jomashop all the time. One time they sent the wrong model of a watch but they took care of it quickly.
