                    @Matt yeah it is a lot of money, but my only watch in that pricerange and also got it with a 20% discount because the dealer closed their business. This watch is one of the few things I can wear everyday without getting bored

                      I just got a watch! Hamilton khaki field in bronze. I've never really had a watch before. This one should age nicely.

                        Very nice. Love that strap.

                          @Rangadello Beautiful watch that I have looked at many times. What are your thoughts on it?

                            @goosehd I've only been wearing it for a few hours, but so far I am really enjoying it. It looks and feels very new... but that should take care of itself in time, and I think it's really going to age nicely. The dial size feel just perfect, and the build and material seem very solid and high quality. The matte finish of the bronze is very nice. Strap is comfortable. I love how thin this watch is (~9mm I think). If I had one complaint it would be that the lug-to-lug measurement is a little long. It would fit on my wrist a bit better if this measurement were a little shorter. And if I ever go without a nato strap, there is likely going to be a bit of a gap there. But I am perfectly happy with this strap. And overall, I am very happy with this watch.

                                It’s such a cool little watch. I’ve got a couple more in n the way.

                                  My first ever Seiko. Beyond happy. Hopefully this is not the start of something. I’m happy being the ‘one seiko’ guy…

                                    Here’s my initial thoughts on the Sistem 51 for those who may or may not care.

                                    I’ve loved Swatches since I was 10 and wore two of them n the same wrist in middle school. I think getting an automatic watch that’s cool to look at for $100 is a steal. The fact that it isn’t serviceable doesn’t bother me in the slightest since I can just buy a new one if need be at that price. Though having just one Swatch kind of defeats the purpose

                                    It’s a little noisy but I enjoy mechanical things that do mechanical things. The fact that it’s plastic isn’t a con for me, it’s lightweight and easy to wear. The strap plastic is also very smooth, like a G-Shock.

                                    The ones I got are from eBay and are 10ish years old so they definitely last.

                                    Fully automated construction in a proprietary Swiss facility with just 51 pieces is a pretty cool feat if you ask me.

                                    Basically I love all the things most people hate about them. Perspective wins out here I guess. Highly recommend. I’ve got one in my mailbox right now and I can’t wait to see it.

                                      Update: one more Sistem 51 today with 3 more en route. I was reading a Hodinkee article from 2016 when Swatch first release Irony modes with the Sistem 51 and apparently those and subsequent models are supposed to be serviceable which is a pretty big deal. I’m not sore of plastic models are or if the Blancpain models are though. I’d love to get one of those but I don’t want to pay $400+ and I can’t be surethe ones priced well on eBay are real.

                                      I’m still loving these…

                                          @long_john86 cool watch! I had several Seikos and they all were great even a vintage one that ran pretty well after a service. Enjoy it! It probably won't be your last one 🤣

                                          @Matt they look so cool. Had the chance to buy a moonswatch in the verona store last year but hesitated what I now regret a little.
