And as you can tell from my avatar, I really dig white rubber straps LOL.

Those look nice, Betel.....especially at such a steep discount.

I have a lot of respect for Hamilton. Love my Khaki chrono.

And as you can tell from my avatar, I really dig white rubber straps LOL. Maybe your mom will let you borrow it

Thanks! This is my second Hamilton and I have been very pleased with them. I love how they treat their leather straps.

I hope to add the Regulator in December.

Looks great betel! Wish I could find one of those sales here. I would love one of their classier jazzmasters on a leather strap. I love my khaki auto chrono!

NS, the Spydercos are a great all purpose knife.  The Reeve's knives are very nice, my father has one or two of them.  Great photo, I like the Sub and Spyderco on the worn bench/table surface.

Thanks, Dino! Yeah, great knives. Sturdy and affordable. Very easy to like. I have a few. Prefer the light, plastic handled ones, but the larger G10 handled are really something. But the knife you bother to drop in you pocket is better than the one at home. I'm usually one for fixed knives when out in the wilderness, Scandinavian style, but a folder has its place when a knife on your belt is too much.



Dug up a very ... orange ... watch and knife pic Watch gone, knife still in my emergency kit.

@Betelgeuse - nice Hamiltons!

I don't have any knife / watch combo pics, but for any knife fans who aren't whooping it up at the Blade Show in Atlanta right now, here is a group pic for you of hand forged knives from one of my fave makers:

And what is on the wrist today:

^ Jeez, Roger - at first glance I thought that was your collection of Farr's!

Thanks Roger!

I tried today this Omega… it's gorgeous! But heavily overpriced in here, around $20,000 more than if I buy it in the US.

 

[bdeuce22]

$20000 USD more?!! Yiiiiikes.

 

[forex]

$20,000 more??? That omega is about $4-5K, where do you live?

 

[HRoi]

location says Mexico City. maybe we take a couple across the border and see if we can arbitrage. and by "we" i mean, "you guys try it first and if you don't wind up in a Mexican jail, we'll see"

 

[zippyh]

Since he's in Mexico City I assume that's 20000 pesos or about $1550 USD.

Sorry I forgot to add "pesos" next to the amount. Zippyh is right, the price here is $1,550 USD more than in the US.

I'll wait until I go to the US and will try to negotiate a nice discount. That have always worked.
