Watches - ExPo Style

The nato band is real easy to adjust, the hardest part is getting the silicon band off, but that only takes a minute. I wear mine into the shower about once a week to get the saw dust of it

Thanks, I actualy had the stock band off when I got it as I tried an old clasp one I had on another one, but it was a tad too tight with this watch.
These Isobrites are pretty amazing since they are so bright.

I picked up a sweet JS Watch Co Frisland 1941 in Reykjavik, Iceland this past week. Im proud to own 1 of the 18 1941s from the first and only Icelandic watch maker.

Yuman, Its the Hamilton Pilot watch. 90% come with the date on the right side instead of the bottom but this one is hard to find. On average there is maybe 1 or 2 on ebay. the others with the date on the right side come with the stainless band or the leather band. I purchased this mesh band on eBay so its not a factory band but Ive always wanted a mesh.
This is the exact one on the movie Interstellar

This is my watch before I changed the band

 

[Donkey_jaw]

This is the others on eBay. Still nice though

Very nice. I like the mesh band better, too...

I would swap back and forth depending on mood. I have been eyeballing a hammy x-wind in black and rose gold lately. I am soon pulling the trigger on that one.

Kojack, I really really wanted an Omega Speedmaster or Seamaster but I $5,000 is too much for me to dish out for a watch. So after looking I decided on the Hamilton. Turns out the company that makes that owns the watch company also makes the parts that goes into Omegas.

 

[kojackJKU]

Yeah, after I bought my Hamilton, I did some research, they are a very very old watch company and they make amazing timepieces. I feel they are very underrated for what they are.

Yeah, Hamilton was originally an American company. It is now owned by Swatch group, a swiss company. The guts of Hamiltons are ETA movements typically. ETA is a swiss company that has been making watch components for a very long time. Tudor watches, Rolex's less expensive line is really nothing more than Rolex cases with ETA movements. ETA makes movements for a TON of watches as most do not do in-house movements. I have one new Hamilton (Khaki King Auto) and its fantastic. I would agree with your assertion that they are underrated for what you pay. Very good watches and they have a very interesting history as well.

 

[kojackJKU]

Yep, exactly why I like them so much. They keep time better than my rolex'es.
