Nearly 20 years ago, a member of the Twitter film photo community was a hearing specialist and gifted me a pair of Surefire EP4 hearing defenders. With cleaning careful storage, I've worn them for every music gig I've photographed and most ultralight flights. You've saved my hearing.

Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

I just got this Watchdives WD16500 a clomage of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. M126500LN-0001. It's uncanny valley close; I only see the differences to the Rolex rather than appreciating it for what it is; a decent quartz chronograph that's comfortable and good looking.

The Militado ML16 is inspired by the Sinn UX SDR but isn't a clone. It's smaller, more practical, comfortable. Also the crown is in a different position and it has guards, and there's a difference in lettering colours. And it only costs $120.

Rolex are so good at their game that you can only appreciate what ten grand gets you when you try this San Martin SN0017 ($250). A slightly better clasp, a slightly better movement (but same beat rate and calibrated and tested in 6 positions). Microscopically better finishing and all the trademarks.

This Berny AM439M-GRN is a false compressor, meaning the timing bezel rotates internally with a locking knob. This makes for a watch that can be dressed up on a steel strap, but is still functional as a dive watch.
It wasn't expensive either at $111, plus another $8 for shipping.

This Orient Mako III "Kamasu" is what I'd call a working man's tool watch. $430 new, I paid $65 for this used example.
The washed out red anodising goes well with my Autumn wardrobe and it's a full-spec day-date automatic diver by a respected Japanese brand.

Watchdives have outdone themselves with this Explorer clomage. It's a touch lighter than I remember of the original but pretty much everything about this is perfect.
I urge caution as it's made me badly desire the Rolex. If you have better self-control than I, buy this instead (it cost me $109).

This IWC Ingineur clone cost me $84.95 shipped. It's a great design, compact and elegant with an integrated strap. I skipped the steel strap and the balance is still good, but the replacement is silicone, which is a dust magnet. The olive waffle dial looks sharp. Excellent.

Today, I was chatting in a group of pilots and an old guys says to a chap in his early 30s. "You better get a backup career, because one day flying is going to get taken from you and maybe not when you expect."
So true.
So true.
