on my way to PGA Port St. Lucie for a little "white ball" at the Pete Dye Course and I passed a barely visible T.J. MAX tucked away in the back of an old strip mall.  What the hell, I thought, maybe a quick trip just to see if they have anything....................bottom line..........STEAL OF THE YEAR................a rare brown dial, large case, Hamilton Khaki chronograph, Valjoux 7750 on tan modified NATO strap BNIB, on clearance for:

$190.00 :shock::shock::shock: 

I couldn't get Mr. AMEX out of my wallet fast enough!!!!! :dude:

Pictures when I get back to Tucson...................

That watch would sell for twice that here in the Scottsdale T.J. Max. They were $399 to $429 here. Maybe I should start looking for golf balls...:D

Gotta love when the people at the store don't know anything about the products they're selling.

"Hey, Cletus, how much should we sell this quartz watch for?"

"Uh, $190?"

How much is the Hamilton Bracelet? A carbon fiber strap from HR or Hirsch might look good. Just picture this O&W as your Hamilton with the CF on it. :)

So Ken, I suppose you're there in Florida to tour the Invicta headquarters and U.S. manufacturing operation?  Bring me a back souvenir, okay?

Ken, I think a "Hamilton Khaki" strap in tobacco from IWI would look great on your new Hammy. And at only $6.00 it's a bargain. Check out a black one on my Khaki.

Edgel.....thanks.........looks nice..I went to IWI but couldn't find it...which category/sub-cat is it under?

I have tried it on the brown matte buffalo and it is "okay" and now have it on a Hirsch style black w/white stich which I like (except this one has rivets which don't seem to fit).........
