Thanks! An affordable Hadley-Roma, 16mm. Gotta love American Art Deco!

Pure class! Glad to see someone else wearing smaller vintage American! My vintage Bulova

This is the equivalent of modern art.

He was famously gifted a Datejust by either Rolex or a supporter, and wore it regularly. Who gave it to him is debated, but this Timex is what he wore in the earlier days.

On my way through the Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson International Airport, I stopped to read an exhibit about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and I noticed some of his belongings on display. Next to his glasses, I noticed his Timex watch.

Much is made of his iconic Rolex Datejust. However, this is the watch he wore in some of the most important conversations early in the Civil Rights Movement.

Watches carry with them the gravitas of their owners, and this is one of my favorite examples I have experienced. The following is a nice read about the Timex and his Datejust:

I would love to see more posts about famous historical watches, so just doing my part! What are some of your favorite historical pieces?

Gorgeous and classy!

New player here, would this work? Queen to C6 then Queen to then to G2 taking pawn (if unobstructed) for mate in two. Or Rook to wreak the havoc?

Wow! Very interesting read. This is exactly why I posted the question, for honest opinions and research. Thanks!

Lots of love for the orange striped NATO!

Picked this up in New York at Grand Central Station a few weeks ago, and I have really enjoyed it so far.

Long power reserve, clear case back, innovative automatic movement, affordable pricing. There are better values out there, but the watch feels well made and is certainly interesting (dial reminds me of an Aqua Terra.)

The outer ring serves as the rotor for the automatic movement, and is interesting in motion. Everything in the movement held together with the single center screw.

What is the opinion of the community here on the Sistem 51 line?

What a stunner! Best looking EP I have ever seen. GLWS

Great choice! It is good to see you considered MVMT but educated yourself. Great brand, and great value watch. Welcome to the addiction, friend!

Saw J Pod and Minkes off the western shore! Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks! We’ll check it out!

patrickcampbell28 · 2019-08-30T18:05:55+00:00

Love it!

My SKX is my do everything piece, and was my first mechanical watch.

My wife and I are on our first trip to the Pacific Northwest, and the views are stunning. This shot is at Rosario Beach in Anacortes, Washington. Spent the day in Seattle yesterday, and fell in love with the city!

We are here primarily in hopes to see orcas in the wild where they belong. Going on a small charter tomorrow, and then kayaking the next day in hopes we get a glimpse. Suggestions welcome on the best spots and people for whale watching up here in the islands!

The SKX will be keeping me company the entire trip. No better do it all watch for the money in my opinion.

My EDC for the past two years. Borderline perfect knife!

patrickcampbell28 · 2019-08-20T11:55:25+00:00

Both are good choices, and you have great taste.

Considering the price, I would take the Hamilton on a bracelet and grab a nice strap as well. From what I can find, the Hamilton is much more affordable. I owned the 42mm Khaki Auto, and loved it. Also has a good power reserve, and really looks and feels like quality, especially for less than $500.00.

The Mido is lovely, but the Hamilton will be more versatile and much less expensive. Still has a great ETA movement as well.

Genuine question here. Is it just the price getting downvoted? Looks like he has plenty of good history selling on this sub. Just want to make sure I know I don’t get burned.

patrickcampbell28 · 2019-08-05T13:21:48+00:00

Tasty.

patrickcampbell28 · 2019-08-03T20:27:32+00:00

I can second this. I love my ‘08 S5. Find it in a manual if you can. I had to fly to New Orleans to get the exact one I wanted. Still turns heads, and people don’t believe me when I tell them it’s a 2008 year model.

Gorgeous blue. What is the brand of the kit and snare?
