      What do you think about the plastic parts in the Tissot PRX? Does it make the watch a risky purchase in your opinion?

    I've collected quite a few hamilton watches Including multiple 30+ year old pieces. I believe they're the best watch you can possibly get under $1500. The quality, the look, the heritage. They're great. Happy to see you give the brand so much love.

      Hamilton Khaki King Automatic! If it's good enough for Doctor House, it's good enough for me. ;) And I believe it was actually Hugh Laurie's PERSONAL watch, as I also saw him wear it during multiple interviews at the time. He wore the black dial/brown leather strap model for the first few seasons of the show, until switching to a digital Casio because it was an 'In Story' gift to his character (House) from another character on the show (Kutner).

    Can you go over the Swatch history of Breguet? Seems like they had a decade or so under the first Hayek where they were pretty impressive. Even if it stole the movement from Blancpain, the Reveil du Tsar is awesome. The big date Marine and the previous generation type 20s seem to have been successful. The crazy magnetic chronometer seems to be awesome too. When/how did it go downhill to where it is today?

People do not realize how large and great their catalog is for under 1k, like the Gentleman, the LeLocle, and my favorite the Couturier line, they even have several COSC certified Chronographs for under 1000. Also in that category the Mido Commander and Oceanstar, and Hamilton Field and Railroad lines. Swatchgroup has some of the best budget automatic lines out there, and really good quality and classy looking.
