Wow, so cool. Thanks for making that connection and posting. I imagine ol Karl was not going for the patina, as I was, but doesn’t it look fantastic on his? Man the watch in the article is so cool!!! Happier wearing mine today now.

O my.

That is a nice LE... though I may still like the original green and gold better.

In other news my AD finally received my no date Sub... I'm having them overnight it to me since I don't want to make the 120 mile drive in these weather conditions. So hopefully I will have it tomorrow....

I purchased this Tag for a good price a few months back. Unfortunately, it came on the OEM rubber strap, which I promptly took off. I tried out a few different after-market straps and bracelets, but none of them really worked for me. So....this past week I finally bit the bullet and bought a Tag Heuer-branded bracelet for this watch. Ah. My wrist is so much happier now.

I ran across an ad for that watch on another website. Very nice. I like the size (39.5 mm) and the compass function could also be used as a timing bezel just like a dive watch.

Brass Helson shark today...

I saw that Alpinist on Hodinkee. Had it in my cart for about 15 minutes but decided not to pull the trigger as if never wear it. I didn’t want to be one of the many speculators who was picking it up just to flip for a profit.

It’s a red date day!

Wow, not everyone can rock that much color, but this all really works with that watch. Nice watch and sleeves!!!

Pardon my ignorance...but why is the date red? Are all of the dates red?

That is a roulette date wheel - the odd numbers are red and evens are black. It is evidently a throwback to post-war rationing in the UK, when certain goods would only be available on odd or even days. Or at least that is the urban legend. The roulette date wheel has been around in some form since 1945.

Ah. Very cool. You learn something new every day around here.

Was never sure about divers, so wanted to test one out before I got into some money on one. I am really liking this Casio Duro. Threw a leather strap on to dress is up some and turning into one of my favorites.
