 | "buen sombrero " | 2008-04-01 |
| This is a great hat, exactly like ones I saw on a recent trip to Guatemala. I wanted to get one while I was there, but I'm glad I waited to get this one. The cattleman's crease is a great shape. The palm straw has a wonderful supple texture. It fits perfectly too. I like it a lot!
Delivery was swift and in protective packaging. I'll keep my eye out for other items from this seller. | ||

 | Diesel DZ7035 | |
| "Really cool wrist enhancement" | 2005-11-15 |
| Here's a watch I've come to like much more than I thought I would when I first got it. It looks really good, even though it pushes the envelope on traditional notions of how you expect a watch to look. This nicely molded wide leather cuff with black on tan stitching would make a cool masculine wrist accessory even without timetelling capability. The snap-on fastener, which you can easily size to your wrist, is completely hidden when it is closed so it has a neat look all the way around. No digital complications on this one, just the simple time and date. (When I'm into complex digital functions, I wear a G-shock.) With the push of an inconspicuous button, you can display either the time or date on an attractive digital screen with a negative imaged black background with a soft light for the dark. Or you can choose to have the time and date alternate each second on the screen, an attention-grabbing feature sure to get comments from your friends who are no doubt already noticing this handsome piece on you wrist. I've collected several Diesel watches for a couple of years now, as I'm always on the lookout for watches high in the coolness factor. They have all been accurate time keepers and pretty durable too. Even better, you can wear them too look good as well as to tell what time it is. Take it from one who's kind of vain about what I wear on my wrist. Try this watch, you'll like it. | ||
 | Seiko Men's Automatic Dive Watch #SKX173 | |
| "My Favorite Dive Watch" | 2005-05-15 |
| I've been a fan of divers watches since college days. I first ran across a Seiko 150m model about 1988 and I've since come to regard this SKX173 200m as THE classic dive watch. Not only is it great for water activities and sports, but it's also great for dry land functions such as telling time and looking cool.
The automatic mechanical power isn't just some outmoded watch technology from the past. It's fascinating to have this intricate and accurate time-machine on your wrist. And the auto-winding mechanism is a real plus. If, like me, you find yourself the owner of muliple watches in these days of expensive batteries for quartz models, replacing power cells can become a high-priced hassle. All you have to do is wear this watch and move around normally and it runs without a thought. The only downer for me is that I want to give my other watch models some wrist time too, so then things tend to run down. But then, just pick it up, set it, strap it on, and off you go. I have always found it quite accurate enough for my ordinary time-keeping purposes. One of the classic and attractive feature of diver watches is the rotator elapsed time bezel. If you like the countdown timer feature on your digital watch, this rotator simply does the same thing in an analog way. Just turn the 0 indicator to the presetnt postion of the minute or second hand and WATCH (yes, pun intended) how much time goes by. There is also a a version of this elapsed time ring in red (from 0 to 20 secs.) and blue (from 20 to 60 secs.). If you want a slightly different dive-watch look, I've found that these replacement rotators are readily available on the net. The jet-black face makes for a bold, easy-to-see-at-a-glance contrast with the square-cut hour markers and attention-grabbing hour and minute indicators. Another plus here is long lasting glow in the dark visibility. Some other brand's marine model I've got has markers that fade to invisibility after an hour or so in the dark. You can tell time on this watch all night long and even, I suppose, in murky water. There's even a luminous dot at 0 secs. on the elapsed time rotator. The 22 cm. black rubber waterproof strap, held in place by heavy duty, industrial strength spring pins, makes a great looking match with this steel and black watch. And apparently Seiko diver straps are indestructable. Other rubber straps seem to be programmed to serve their brief time and then self-destruct. But even the band I've used on my Seiko 150m for 16 or 17 years shows no sign of cracking or breaking. After wearing this watch for a while the heavy strap seemed to mold itself to the size and shape of my wrist. It just sort of makes itself at home on your arm. The steel case has a great look of solidity and a pleasant heftiness. It's big (42 cm across) but not geeky big, just the right size and weight to project a certain masculine handsomeness. A nice design touch is the position of the crown at 4:00 instead of the usual 3:00, not only a nice and noticeable difference, but it doesn't cut into the back of your hand in case of hard work or heavy lifting (one of my favorite watches to wear to the gym). BTW, the crown is only for stetting the time and date, as it's not needed as a winder. In case you can't tell, I really like this watch. So much so that I also got the more recent model SKXA35 with the bright yellow dial (See it on Amazon. Really cool too!)as well as an earlier model with a rounder shaped case and lugs, a style from the early 1970's. With the quality and durability of this SKX173, you're in for some long-term watch fun and interested comments like. "Great watch! Where'd you get it, on the net?" Good price and good deal too. Hey, man, go for it. Get this watch! | ||
 | Casio Analog Digital 100M Watch AMW320D | |
| "Marine gear looks great, made tough" | 2005-01-14 |
| This Marine Gear has become one of my favorite watches of all time. And take this from an enthousiastic collector who's tried out quite a few watches. If you're like me, you might like to alternate at times between analog and digital watches. I find myself using an analog watch about 60% of the time because they look great and it's easy to see how much time you've got left. On the other hand, digitals get about 40% of my wrist time, especially when I'm in a casual, sport, or technical mode. Well, here's a watch that's the best of both worlds. With this Marine Gear, Casio has a real classic "diver" watch both in form and function. In function, this watch has all the classical functions I like in in the digital line-up: stopwatch, alarm, hourly beep, and date. The digital time and dual time has come in handy, especially travelling. In fact, with the analog hands, you can have three time zones on your watch at once. Also, it is easy to synchronize the digital and analog seconds. In the analog department, the hand are the easy to see-at-a-glance oversized diver fashion. The hour markers are made to show up in the dark. My only disappointment is that the luminosity lasts only for an hour so in the dark; it won't get you through the night. But that's only a minor let-down. It's great in the water,though. Mine's been in the pool quite a few times and is just as great there as on dry land. As to form, here's a real classic look in the world of water sport and divers watches. I've found that the hefty steel case, elapsed-time ring, canary yellow dial, and wide black divers strap make a really attractive and tough-looking wrist accessory that get lots of remarks like, "great watch!" from friends. I first noticed this Marine Gear in about 1989 and immediatly thought, "Wow, gotta get this watch!" Even though that watch is still working fine after about 15 years, I got a couple of others too. In the mid-90's, Casio put out a models with black and white dials and steel band. I like them too, though I wear them with the the black divers bands which still seem readily available as replacements. However, after all, I think the Yellow dial model is still the coolest. Take it from a watch junkie who thinks the bigger the better, if you're into the divers style in watches, you'll come to like the size and heft of this Casio and its tough indesructability and maybe come to think too that is one of the greatest of all time. | ||
 | Seiko Men's Watch #SGF719 | |
| "All-time great watch!" | 2005-01-05 |
| OK, I admit it. I'm a hopeless watch junkie. I like to wear my share of divers watches, digital watches, chronographs, pilot and military watches, oversized watches, multi-function watches, if fact, any watch that's high in the coolness factor. What can I say; watches are fun. But sometimes the occasion or the mood calls for a watch that's just simple and solid. This down-to-earth Seiko is often just the one I want. I guess what I like is that it's both a classic and an up-to-date time machine. The steel band and case with a simple jet-black dial is a timeless watch design and yet it is right in sync with the contemporary look of the silver-tone, dark-face look that "everybody's wearing" in the men's watch fashion department these days. I really like the simple stick marker dial accented only by the black-on-black date window. This is a watch I don't get bored with or tired of. And for reliability, you can hardly go wrong with a Seiko. I've had this watch for a couple of years now and with its quartz accuracy, I don't think I ever have to set it except at the twice a year change to and from daylight time. My experience of owning several quartz Seikos, some for quite a few years, is that there's not a lot of maintenance other than a battery change now and then and if you need service it's easy to get. But you probably know all that. Bottom line: here's a watch that looks great and works great. Bet you'll like it as much as I do. | ||
