OUR FRIENDS
These are some websites that we visit frequently:
Bob at MWR sells a great selection of nylon and leather military style watch straps, as
well as many other tactical goodies. He also sells the terrific line of Marathon
military watches, issued to the armed forces of many countries, including the U.S. and Canada.
The Military
Watch Resource
TimeZone is a large site packed with information and many theme forums. Our favorites
are the Sales Corner and the Japanese Language Watch Forum.
TimeZone
The Vintage Rolex Forum is possibly the best of the many Rolex forums. The members are
always helpful and by far the most knowledgeable on the web. Their Vintage Rolex Forum
is probably the best place to buy vintage Rolex watches anywhere.

Forum
3T is different from other watch forums as it focuses on the technical aspects of modern
watch production. This is where you can learn about the latest technology of watches in
a friendly atmosphere.
Time Tech
Talk
Watchuseek's website has some great specialty forums too, including Pilot's Watch forum
and Dive Watch Forum. We visit here regularly.
Watchuseek
EOT also has several forums. Our favorite is the Ultimate Dive Watch Forum.

Time
We have had dozens of watches cleaned, repaired, and conserved by Jack at IWW. His work
with luminous is as good as it gets. I wouldn't trust my vintage watches with anyone
else in the USA. We also recommend Jack for out-of-warranty service on all our Corvus
watches. Jack also does amazing custom work, such as bead-blasting, PVD coating and
other cool stuff.
Make sure you take a look at his photo album of amazing vintage and modern
watches.
International Watch Works
Toys McCoy and The Real McCoy are two Japanese companies that manufacture the finest
reproduction vintage U.S. Military clothing in the world. Their A-2 WWII-style flight
jackets are amazing, truly indistinguishable from the original. Buzz Rickson and
Eastman Leather also recreate outstanding flight jackets. We like all these products
very much.

Bill "Squinky" Mahoney's site has a fascinating selection of new and vintage watchbands
and bracelets. Bill sells some of the best NATO-style nylon watchstraps on the web. He
also is one of the only sources for genuine vintage Tropic and Tropic-style rubber
diving straps. Tropic straps were sold in the 1960's as an optional accessory by Rolex
for the Submariner, and were the standard strap that Blancpain sold with the Fifty
Fathoms. Our Bradley dive watch comes on a rare vintage Tropic-style rubber strap
supplied by Bill.

Peter Blinn is my web consultant. His work is the best I have ever seen, as Peter
combines amazing talent as an artist and writer with superb technical skills and the
inability to accept anything less than perfection. His Curious Notions website is a
fascinating collection of oddities. It is highly recommended.
