As I mentioned on the previous page, if someone does want to "cough up" the money for a Helm Vanuatu Titanium, you can! My number has come up and I'm not going to execute the buy. I'll send the code and inform Helm of the transfer. Let me know. Email address in profile. SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member!

I finally got to removing a couple of links from the new bracelet from Strapcode. Getting a good pic was challenging, but here it is:  I need to weigh this setup tomorrow -- it's heavy!  - - - - - Jan 22 edit: This setup weighs 192 grams (0.42 pound). Even at that weight, it's comfortable enough that I forget it's there.This message has been edited. Last edited by: vthoky, God bless America. | |||

How do you like your Speedy? Although I think I've got a pretty varied and good collection, the new Speedmaster Professional (Moonwatch) with the white dial really caught my eye. I just turned 70 this month and I've got one on the way to help me get over the fact that I'm so old! I'd rather it had an automatic movement than the manual wind, but with a 50 hour power reserve I thought I'd get used to it. I've already got a few straps ordered from Liger, Tuns, and The Strap Tailor. They've got some great offerings and the prices aren't crazy.

Wait, Hamilton makes lefthanded models? My bank account just got worried. | |||

Hamilton definitely likes to experiment with crowns on the left, right, and place them in the 2, 4, 8, 9 and/or 10 o’clock position. Hamilton’s X wind khaki is another lefty model. Reference H77616533.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

A new addition to my collection commemorating my 70th birthday. It's my first Omega and now my only manual wind, but I'm loving the simplicity of the white dial and it's different vibe from the black and (latest) blue dial versions of the Speedmaster Professional "Moonwatch." I found it being sold "New", but previously owned by a private party and (surprising to me) it's bracelet was actually sized perfectly for my wrist.

Very nice! Wear it in good health. If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

Pulli!!! Sorry, I didn’t see your earlier post. CONGRATS on the Birthday! BEAUTIFUL SPEEDY! I don’t think you’ll regret it. I really love mine. It’s my “dress-up” watch, and no where near an “EDC”. I already have a few automatics, but no sapphire back ones. My Speedy scratches the itch of wanting a manual movement too. I felt that the counter-weight just takes up a lot of the view of the movement. I can (and actually have) “geeked out” for an hour or so and watched the Video that SigSentry posted on the previous page. watching the movement, thinking about the engineering that goes into a good watch fascinates the hell out of me.I can leave the Stainless bracelet on there, toss on a black or brown leather, a canvas, a NATO… depending on what I’m wearing (not to sound like the “fashion police”). ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

Now for something a little more budget. I picked up this new Zodiac Olympos reissue last week for a steal and decided the strap was just irritating, so a beads of rice it gets!   ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

Oh niiiiice! I really like the shape of that case! That is a damn cool looking watch. How much do those run? The Omega pictured above it is gorgeous too!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

They are $995 at Zodiac, but there are no more gold ones. I bid on this one on eBay and snagged it for $540. It's called a bullhead case. It's VERY 1950's. I also LOVE that polar Omega. It's a spinoff of an Alaska Project. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

Someone call the police! THAT was a real steal!!! Changing up the watch from strap(s) to bracelet really changes the vibe and makes this a very versatile watch. I've always like Zodiac's offerings.

Here's a stainless. Stainless vintage 19mm BOR bracelets are inexpensive. https://www.ebay.com/itm/186801040458 ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||
