46mm Hamilton Khaki Pilot

My oldest is also a pocket watch, a model 1883 from Waltham which the S/N dates to 1899.

My oldest wrist watch would probably be my Benrus Wristalarm, which would date back to the 1950s or 1960s.

I kinda like the idea of what Norqain has done with their "Norqain plate". It's a "plate" which is attached via screws on the left hand side of the case that allows for custom engraving to personalize a watch. By default, the watch comes with a plate that is engraved with the brand name. Since the plate is screwed into the watch, it could be easily replaced with a different plate in the future. This allows for some minor personalization which doesn't necessarily impact the resale value of the watch.

I know that lots of people seem to think of this as gimicky, and feel that it ruins the look of the watch. I think that it serves to offer some visual interest to an otherwise slab sided case, and helps counter balance the crown on the right hand side.

The only jewelry I regularly wear is my watch and my wedding ring.  

I feel so stupid. I just realized that both the RM and Blancpain deployants are designed to have the excess strap on the outside, so they obviously need straps with keepers, and therefore can't be used with the loop-less straps. The Omega deployant is the only one that tucks the excess strap underneath to hide it, and therefore the only one suitable for the loop-less straps. 

I really like the look of the newer loop-less version, as it looks so much cleaner without the keepers. I had previously been using a genuine Omega deployant with an aftermarket strap with keepers, and I always felt that the keepers detracted from the overall look.

I agree that the RM style deployant looks like it might be better than the Omega style deployant that came with mine, but I find the Omega style is just fine. Their web site is a bit confusing, since the page for the loop-less strap includes the verbiage "Can be paired with our Omega Style Deployant Clasp", and it only offers a drop down option for selecting an Omega style deployant. They do show all the various styles of deployant buckles available under their "Accessories" page, so perhaps the RM and Blanpain deployants are only suitable for the straps that already come with buckles? In the Peter Kosta video, the straps shown have the keeper loops.

You're very welcome. And you're definitely not the only one who gets excited about accessories 😀.  When I got this Artem, I couldn't wait to swap straps on my Speedmaster Broad Arrow, and since doing so, it feels like I have a new watch in my collection.
