Reminds me of the one my prof used to wear, but don’t know much more than that. Have you tried contacting Hamilton and see if they can use the serial number to look that up for you?

Nice watch!
"However, Target management does have fiduciary duties to its shareholders to prudently manage the company and act loyally in the company's best interests."
Not sure how reaching out to more groups to sell more products and generate more profit amongst those groups previously left out of the equation is not in the company’s best interest.
Great watch and great story. Thanks for sharing!
Didn’t know this existed, but now I might have to get one. TY!
I just got mine in. I figured I would start it a few months ago just in case something like this happened. Didn’t realize how bad it would get though.
Keep it up! These are cool. Reminds me of some pieces from Leroy’s Place.
Did you find anyone attached to them?
Thanks! I originally wanted the blue since the color is amazing for that dial, but the black/dark grey just felt right.
Didn’t think about that. It would also be like when I’m adjusting the time and spend a minute or two trying to get the hand exactly centered on the marker. Lol. Either way, super cool to see in action. I have been wanting to check the inner bezel in person and feel how it turns. Great looking watch too!
Newest addition to my collection. Wanted a diver and have been looking at the Pelagos for a while. When visiting my AD, found this one LNIB for a good deal, so I couldn’t pass it up!

Went to the Johnson Space Center in Houston today and found a few Speedmaster’s on display. Here is one on one of the space suits. Another one I found was Sally Ride’s, the first US woman in space! I currently don’t have a Speedmaster, but these definitely make it tempting to have another look at them.
I bought this one about a year and a half ago and have a hard time taking it off. When I first bought it, it was a gold color but the patina just keeps amazing me on how much it adds to the character of it. IWC did a fantastic job on the type of bronze used for this watch (more brown and yellow than copper looking). The green dial goes from a dark green to a bright olive green, depending on the light. This combined with the bronze, gold hands, and brown leather strap really makes it feel like it’s from another era. If anyone is looking to pull the trigger on one, you won’t regret it.
Notes:
- 6.5” wrist
- The picture is a few months old, but showcases the watch nicely with some patina.
- Strap is from The Strap Tailor —> highly recommend!

I had a boss that would constantly chase the new buzz-worthy tech rather than focusing on the tools and languages we already used and supported (which also had the capability of accomplishing the same objectives). My team spent a lot of resources on half ass implemented tools that created more gaps than what it was supposed to fill. In the end, the team (not him) were expected to fix the issues he created because he was always busy chasing the ‘next big thing’, brushing the issues he created for the team under the rug. Super frustrating and glad I’m not working in that environment anymore.
