Since I bought mine, and posted all the pics and comments, it seems I started a feeding frenzy, as two more members have bought Hercs. I happen to know that Steve (Cuckoo4watches) will be receiving his today, so I want to see some pics. Its payback time. Christopher (Legamker)... haven't seen any pics from you either? come on guys, post those Hercs! Tried a strap on mine... not my taste, but Steve seemed to like it. Also did a bunch of comparison shots with my PO chrono...

I haven't seen it on leather before. That looks great! |

That strap look awesome, I think! Where did you have it made? The rest of the pics are very good too - the Hercules look like it's going to eat the PO several times! |

I'm not so keen on the strap, but that's probably because I've worn mine for just about every day over the last 2 years with the metal bracelet. |

Now you are going to have to forgive me on this, being more of a vintage fan, not up on new fangled Lings. But, and here is the stupid question, can someone explain the 2 hands on the dial at 6. Its a new one one me. Love the watch though and think the strap works. Happy wearing! |

Not my words but this explains it: A 60-minute totalizer with center hand guarantees peerless readability for any chronograph measurement under one hour. For longer times, a single totalizer with two hands combines the hours and minutes, enabling read-off of the time elapsed as one would normally read the time, meaning instantly unmistakably. THis optimal legibility is made possible by a 38-jewel Caliber 39, a chronometer-cerified Breitling proprietary movement. |

I'll take some shots this weekend Mark and post them up! I'll be wearing the Herc today.. Love the Herc-PO comparison shots Mark. Two great watches there! So what color did Steve go for? Was it the white? Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the strap really. I usually like straps on a rugged looking watch, but it seems to take the "Herc" out of the Hercules for me. Maybe it's the integrated strap fit between the lugs..not sure. Someone posted a brushed BB on a distressed leahter strap and it worked for me...go figure!  You certainly did start a Herc revival! |

Mark, Where did you have the strap made? I really like that look. I picked up a slate w-Steven as a spec watch but I may keep it with the strap option. I'll post photos as well....cool watches, Herc club? |

Hey guys, thanks for all the Kudos on the strap. I actually didn't like it, my feelings were similar to Legmaker's, it took the Herc out of Hercules. Where did I have it made? On my desk  I just took a 24mm Panatime Crazy Horse, and my trusty X-acto knife and notched it myself. I've already offered it to Cuckoo4watches if he wants it (and I think he will).Come on guys... pics... where are they? |

got this one recently... great piece and fits very well on my 7.5" wrist its in superb condition too and was recently serviced by a Master Watchmaker just before being sold to me so its good to go for a long while runs like a top and I am actually impressed with the lume, its very good. (unlike some of the other Lings I have had)
