They are sending me some, but I don't think the springbars will work with the stainless. I'll see when I get them.

My Uncles just back from a full service. I get to enjoy it until he visits the US in July.

I'm going to say my Invicta. My collection isn't name worthy at all. The 8926OB is affordable, keeps great time, water resistant to 200m. I bought this watch to remind myself one day to buy my dream watch... the Rolex Submariner Date 16610.

Ken that AP is a beauty. But for me, it's my Meteorite Daytona. Bright light vs. a low ambient light...

All beautiful pictures gentlemen! Mike (kilyung) your piece is tough as nails and captures the spirit of our hobby perfectly! For me my favorite piece has to be my 116718, no matter what my hand always gravitates toward that piece!
