Damn, you're watch is ugly compared to the Hamilton X-01 Watch. It looks nifty, although I'm surprised to learn it is a relic from the movie 2001 A Space Odyssey. Luxist tells us, "Time flies as the saying goes but one piece of time, in the form of a watch used in the movie, is making a return. The Hamilton X-01 is based on the original Hamilton commissioned by the makers of the film in 1966"
