Have you considered Raymond Weil? This chrono and their Freelancer dive watches are very nice. RW is a family owned Swiss watch maker. Here’s a link to a chrono I kind of like, though it’s a bit more expensive than the Hamilton. Does anyone have experience with this brand? I saw a Freelancer at Costco and was impressed with the quality. https://www.jomashop.com/raymo...-7731-sc1-20121.html | |||

That RW looks almost exactly like the TAG Heuer Carrera Chrono but at half the price! Put a stainless bracelet on it and it's perfect!  He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||

Just got this from England: [IMG]  1931 silver cushion case with Lanco movement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Yidn, shreibt un fershreibt" "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them.

I like it. I'd be torn between leaving it as is, or cleaning up the case myself and sending the dial to Kirk Dial of Seattle (which is actually in Kent, WA). | |||

Take your time in deciding. Once refinished, you can never go back.  | |||

Not doing anything to it. 87 years old, patina tells the story. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Yidn, shreibt un fershreibt" "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them.

I have looked at their offerings in the past, but none have ever clicked with me the way the above Hamilton has. They may (or may not) be objectively a better build, but there's just something about this Jazzmaster Auto Chrono that appeals to my aesthetic preferences. | |||

Jomashop had a $200 off sale for the Fortis pilot watch I wanted, can't wait to get it. | |||

I saw them! I almost bought one and still might! ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

Got it today and am glad I pulled the trigger. It's a nice medium for a pilot watch of not being too busy, while still having day/date, hour and minute markings. It's also not a comically large wrist anchor that makes you look like a kid wearing dads watch. I'll try to get a halfway decent picture tomorrow. | |||

Erika's Original MN strap. I'm a believer now. This thing is great!    | |||

1916 trench watch. Strap is garbage, ordering correct one from England.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Yidn, shreibt un fershreibt" "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them.

Today's choice.  The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Very Nice! RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

An Orange watch is always the right choice! I've had a bunch. None have stuck for me. But I have one inbound (due in September). I just can't stay away. | |||
