The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

[neph93]

As I’m in something resembling civilisation (Liverpool) I actually got to try on a couple of watches that I’ve liked the look of on the internet. Two Hamiltons:

I was slightly surprised to find that I think they’re both a little big. Also the olive automatic, which has been an on screen favourite looked a little cheap irl. The other is perhaps is the same as the one you had for sale @UnTucked ?

Wow, you have tiny girly wrists lol!

And yes, the leather strap one appears to be identical to the one I have posted

I know! Big hands, tiny wrists… go figure.

The Khaki Field is 38mm, right?

I don't recall the dimensions….. still haven't worn it

This one was a 42mm as was the olive field watch. They come in a variety of dimensions.

I din’t think these are too big, but I’d like them smaller, like 38-40mm.

Just checked…

Mine is 42... Definitely seems bigger on you.

I'm thinking to start wearing it soon..... Waiting for some puzzle pieces of my life to fall I to place.

@neph93 the lugs don't extend past the sides of your girlie wrists, so I think that you'd be fine with a 42 mm. You'd get used to the size after a few days.

But a 38 mm would work too, and if you prefer that size, go for it.

Looks great. Not least with that strap.

Not a big fan of NATO straps but the material is spot on for the watch.

Gorgeous and NATO works well with it and all field watches.

This. Field watches really belong on NATOs, and the olive drab looks perfect.

@JDelage:

What is the consensus on Lum-Tec these days?

Love mine.

[JDelage]

@seawolf - thank you. They have a bronze model M coming out I'm intrigued about…

You're welcome! Great choice. As you can see, I love the M series. The two watches in the pic are the M59 on the left and the M22 on the right.

Since we're on the subject of NATOs…

Hamilton had an event in London, and Revolution have a report on from it.

@neph93 will no doubt be interested in the additions to the 38 mm Khaki Field line.

But the Ventura is way cooler.

None of these pieces are up on Hamilton's website yet.
