Yey Matt, of course!
I'm glad you find it interesting 
This watch as you say, is weird, strange, kind of a crossing between a bathyscaphe and a... cartoon?
Its name is Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman Auto-Chrono (puf puf :P... lengthy name, isn't it?)
It's made of Titanium Grade (well, I don't remember very well if 5 or 3) so let me check the manual.
Powered by a reliable Valjoux 7750. I like the way it hums in your wrist when the rotor wheels freely.
Bad lighting for now, but tomorrow I will post more pictures just for you.
I like this watch because it looks like a funny, rugged adventurous watch, it's one of my "relax" watches.
The green canvas strap is really nice, it gives the watch a raw look (I also have the Ti bracelet which is the one it came with),
but almost always wear it like this.
More pics...done deal my friend.
Best regards.
René

HoroGourmet: Watches & Food
I know a bunch of us take pictures with our watches. and Even more of us takes pictures of our food. So why not combine both Let's have fun with this. Burger on top of burger Side dish with matching patina! Bon Appetit HAGWE Tyler...
McDonalds in Malaysia? . . .
. . . ok, I'll play, but later on, Tyler. This photo of White Connie was taken Tuesday night . . . [watch and wrist: Dr No / photo credit: Chef Jeff] . . . while practicing for Wednesday's 3-ball tournament. I'll be leaving shortly to take Mom out for lun...
Malaysia
Art, Of course they have (or had -- Pic from 2006) Notice the sign at upper left. This is the indication that Mickey D, in Malaysia/KL, serves halal food. Of course the Malaysian cuisine is wonderful, in special the Nonya cuisine. Cheers, Nilo This messag...
Honestly, I don't know why . . .
. . . I should be surprised, Nilo. McDonalds has franchises in practically every corner of the globe . . . why not Malaysia? It is surprising, though, that I can still recognize a Big Mac, seeing as how I haven't had one in 22 years! Cordially, Art
Not in Iceland anymore....they pulled out last year I believe...
I saw it there about 15 years ago but the price back then was unbelievable, I think ~£10 for just a Big Mac and that was ONLY the burger not a meal..!! We had sushi instead as the fish there was stunning. Yours, Andy.
Ten UK Stirling for a Big Mac? . . .
. . . sheesh, that's ridiculous! One pound is half a pound too much . . .
Yep - and that was 15 years ago..!!
i believe it was this expensive as everything is imported so I suppose these current economic times has made it not worth while for them. No big loss for Iceland..!! I sometimes have just a cheeseburger for 99p and normally regret it...LOL Yours, Andy.
Lunch in Santa Monica this afternoon . . .
. . . with family and friends. Sea bass is the specialty of the house . . . . . . with Omega á la carte . Coincidentally, one of our guests was also wearing a vintage Omega, a Seamaster . . . . . . that he's owned since 1960. Wrist shots . . . . . . for y...
Actually, that's a roasted slice of potato . . .
. . . but I, too, first assumed it was a mushroom cap. A good thing I don't live near Santa Monica, 'cause I'd be tempted to stop by for lunch often. The branzino was excellent . . .
Can't wait to see what's you are having for dinner :)
This thread is gonna make me hungry. and yes, we do have Mickey's over here. Same horrible taste as the States. LOL HAWWM ( H ave A W onderful W eekend M eal) Tyler This message has been edited by T.Bean on 2012-02-16 18:56:55
Umm, no dinner tonight . . .
. . . as I also had the caprese appetizer, not to mention half a loaf of bread with oil and crushed garlic, washed down with Panna flat water and a sip of the house cab. I just might have a muenster cheese and tomato sandwich for a late night snack ;-) . ...
Good for you. U wanna know my breakfast?
Ooops! Sorry. No I'm not having feline meat ... at least not for breakfast. (Pictures from the WWW) This is the actual thing. A huge thing. Lucky you. Regards Tyler...
Pomolos! . . .
. . . we have at least a dozen trees at Uncle Jake's farm. Terrific for breakfast, but they have to be eaten, not juiced - our variety doesn't have much juice, unlike an ordinary grapefruit.
LOL - that first pic is actually my Facebook pic...
borrowed from the WWW last year too.! Very funny pic Yours, Andy.
Ready for dessert?
How many like to plan their meals around dessert; at the very least to leave some 'room' if the dessert menu looks promising. But many restaurants don't give you a look at the dessert menu until the main meal is completed. But today I thought I would show...
Hmm this wrist is so tasty that i want to eat it!
Pic of the day, just before going to the Court. HAGWE, All! Nicolas...
I was waiting for ....
A Steak au poivre or A Bouillabaisse or Boeuf à la Bourguignonne or Anything from the French Cuisine But ... I will have this AP, make it medium well. Wonderful picture (bar the wrist, for sure). Cheers, Nilo
Do keep in mind that for Vlad Dracul a wrist is a succulent food. :)

Do I really have to remind you this lovely Aussie Girl? :)))
Or was she from New Zealand? Best, Nicolas
Tasty? The watch or the hairy wrist?
Well at least you get enough fiber and mineral from hair and metal. Can't imagine how a hundreds year old meat would taste like Have fun staring at the sleeping judge Regards Tyler This message has been edited by T.Bean on 2012-02-16 19:10:04
Hmmm, just impressive mi Hermano
You know how much power suits and power watches (fine beautiful and manly watches) help in meetings, interviews ans hearings HAGWE! René
As always Hermano, spot on!!!
That's why one has to have several watches! To have the right one at the right moment It pays bills! I keep telling this to my family and my girlfriend, but... I guess they don't understand He he.... Best my friend. René
Thanks, Blomman.
Was thinking the aquatimer with seafood but I forgot I have sent it for service. The water resistant is gone. Next time, my friend. Regards Tyler
Not new...
Old safe queen... Trying to even out wrist time ration among my ladies...! Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman
I remember this ramen well.
A Korean friend makes it with Kimchi and Cheese! Funny looking but taste fantastic. Chopsticks matching the cutlery? HAGWE Tyler
Well, at least one Omega is in my list…
But I doubt I will be able to keep the diet until I can afford the 2015… Best Blomman
I would love to get on that diet!!!
Specially the second course Not that I would skip the first one of course!!! HAGWE Blomman! René
This week, very strict diet!
They say Omega (fish oil) is good for the heart! Thank you, Rene – just wished I had a second dessert to follow up with… Best Blomman
I love the implied humour
I love the implied humour in this, Blomman. Live frugally and buy better watches. Hope you can survive the 'diet'. Andrew
What humour? ;)
Two years back – I sold my car to get a watch… Last year I sold my blood… So, this year – cut down on expenses! Best Blomman
Love the second pic. Call me next time u need a lunch / dinner partner.
Dont eat and drive. Dangerous in heavy traffic. You can drink and drive instead
That's what your meal is!??
I like your watch but not the food Any chance for a wristshot? HAGWE Tyler
Of course.

how do you find this watch Fernando?
when I saw it last week, I hesitate, something is not right, maybe the garlic, black or white, white or black well, i dont know HAGWE, Ed
Hi Ed.
The truth is I had my doubts in the beginning - the size, the large hands etc. It didn't look right in pics. as everything seems to be emphasized & out of proportion. After trying on a friend's piece it made more sense.The bigger plots & hands nee...
Garlic matching the hour indices . . .
. . . and shallots matching the GMT hand. Coincidence? I think not ;-) . . . Nicely done, Fernando.
Very observant Art..
and an astute interpretation. But of course it's intentional ....or not. Thanks for the compliment. HAGWE! fernando
and impaled. :) :)
Hopefully, this will stop some of the irresistable temptations you make us endure from time to time. F

The most basic breakfast with the most basic diver's watch. No frills. The cost of the watch equals 8,500 pieces of flat bread. If i had not acquired the watch, i could feed 8,500 hunger, one piece of flat bread each person... sigh... ... apologies for po...
I doubt you can feed that much with a sub.
Food price been rising faster than rolex retail price. Sigh..... Regards Tyler
Rolex prices growing in tandem with food inflation prices too, in fact

Welcome back home, Ed! . . .
. . . see you in a few weeks, if not before. Just had lunch in your neck of the woods today with seven guests, and not a morsel was left on anyone's plate. Santa Monica is truly a foodie's paradise.
Been a busy February
Hi Art, Hope all is well. Cool that you were in the SM area last week. I've been out traveling and more trips the next two weeks. Looking forward to catching up soon and maybe playing some 9 ball. Regards, ED-209
You looking down on me, Mr. Jet Setter?
The sad thing is you're right. I would rather risk seafood poison than have the ever mushy beef burger with tang source. Hope you don't have an upset stomach. Judging from the photo I think you are in good hands. Have a safe trip home. Regards Tyler
Sometimes I take a chance
Hi Tyler, Luckily it turned out ok. Not the greatest sushi I've ever had, but better than your typical airport food. By the way, great post for the wristscan. Regards, ED-209 This message has been edited by ED209 on 2012-02-22 21:11:37
Does A Liquid Meal Count?
And I don't mean one of those diets in a can. Nothing left of the Breyer's Natural Strawberry except the silver spoons, plus and a shark-strapped, blue-dialed Seiko Samurai Diver showing me it's time for bed after I finish the dregs of the Cline 2005 Cont...
I caught a glimpse of our guest's Seamaster . . .

California Zins, my favourite :)
I would imagine a reduction to pour over the ice cream would be a real treat. I miss the wine county, especially Sonoma. Regards Tyler

not possible with ref 9-90 as none of my pieces have a bracelet
I do have a few other pieces eg ref 2526 , prince, bubbleback on bracelets JS This message has been edited by watch-guy.com on 2012-02-16 22:46:32
